The incomparable Sophie Hopkins accompanied by the talented Liam Britten, performing at the Lunenburg Food and Craft Festival today.

Great news for Bridgewater readers!

Starting the week off right -

What a sad display. Help us save libraries. #ALAAC25 Email your legislators at app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag...

Just a reminder that most bloggers review books for free alongside a trillion other commitments in busy lives. Please don't take that for granted. If a review isn't quick enough, good enough or you don't agree with it, keep in mind we are doing this solely for love of books.

So true! We are getting more and more government services loaded onto our shoulders. No civil servant pay rises on the horizon, either!

www.edinburghbookshop.com/events-1/ann... I was lucky enough to get my hot hands on an ARC of this. What a wonderful read. Not only is it a terrific story, it also opened my eyes to chunks of recent history about which I knew very little. A masterpiece - highly recommend!

Libraries everywhere - so much more than just books!

I'm just over halfway through. Some passages are so unbelievably beautiful I want to highlight them and share with all my friends... other bits are a bit meh. This is very much how I felt about Demon Copperhead - maybe the curse of the overhype? Will report back at the end!

Irish Meta protest attracted huge attention today, all down to the Irish Writers Union 💪 Big tech HAS to be challenged on its blatant ignoring of copyright law.

Feels like these days we need to grow a hard shell and scuttle sideways

Cracker of a read is right! I'm delighted to see another Lucy O'Callaghan novel hit the shelves. One (The Lies Beneath) wasn't nearly enough! More please, Lucy!

The Bee Sting is widely praised and is a book I found quite interesting and enjoyed but is equally one I wouldn't quite rate s-tier. Read my full review of The Bee Sting by Paul Murray here: www.lukeharkness.com/book-reviews...

A must-buy for racing enthusiasts!

Love this. A countdown to when we can all breathe freely again - if we all make it to 0. 🙈🙈🙈

The Irish Writers Union (IWU) is encouraging members to make a formal, legal complaint to Meta. The allegations have profound implications for Irish authors. Read more & sign the petition: www.writing.ie/news/irish-w... #writers #writersky

🎉I am THRILLED to announce that I will be joined by Emilie Leduc, the illustrator of KENZIE'S LITTLE TREE, for a book launch at @thespanielstale.bsky.social in Ottawa! #kidlit #EduSky #CanKidLit #IBD #arthritis @orcabook.bsky.social @westwoodcreative.bsky.social @picturebookseh.bsky.social

Big fan of both of these leaders. Smart and ethical still matters.

Fitting that Netanyahu would depart from visiting Viktor Orban in Hungary to meet with Trump in Washington – an all-around world tour of wanna be authoritarians of a kind resisting any form of accountability. All three are consulting the same "attack democracy" playbook to muzzle all opposition.

Bots and trolls, oh my! More info about the upcoming Canadian election. #abcd #authorsandbookloversfordemocracy #authorsandbookloversforcarney #botsinthecanadianelection #canpoli

I confess I first read Teslacles as if it were the name of some obscure ancient Greek playwright (possible author of Oedipus X.)

Wow, all prior editions have made it to No2 in Horse Racing and/or Essays & Sports Journalism. Best Racehorses of 2024 went straight in at No1 in the latter category! 🥳 Thank you! #HorseRacing #RacingSky amazon.co.uk/dp/1838433155

Massive turnout at today's #HandsOff! rally against Musk and Trump in St. Paul, Minnesota 🔥🔥🔥

Huge demonstrations at Heard and McDonald Islands, as the penguins say NO to tariffs:

Best of luck with your protests people of USA.

Very excited to be heading to Harrogate this year to take part in this amazing panel! What a line up! The Irish Murderesses have a strong contingent every year and it's the highlight of the summer for me, do come if you can! #theakstonscrime

From one survivor to another, sending love.
