Review: The Strength of the Few – James Islington I started reading the second book in the Hierarchy series, "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington, at the end of December. I finished it on the 4th of January. This is a solid read, especially for a second book in a trilogy. It picks up right…

Fuck the Orange Temu Hitler and his cronies. Fuck the fascist billionaire. Fuck the paedophile rapist pieces of shit. And I do not need to name anyone because everyone knows who I am talking about. BAN X & GROK NOW!

“Authors” using AI slop in their books: a small list. Photo by Markus Spiske on Pexels.com We have lately seen a surge in AI slop. And yes, I will call it AI slop, because that is what it is: slop produced by AI. And if someone needs to use AI to create any kind of work of art, then they are not…

It's snowing here, in Norwich, UK.

Good Morning. Happy Saturday.

Happy New Year 2026 everyone.

How many people are waiting to update their 2026 books challenges on @thestorygraph.com and goodreads? #books #reading

Hi all. I wish everyone a Happy New Year 2026.

Started "The Strength of the Few" today. Yes, the hype is real. Only 50 pages in atm, and really want to read more. #books #reading #jamesislington #strengthofthefew

@dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social Thank you. I finished "The Kindom trilogy" today. This was a really great ending, a realistic one. And I am glad it shows that, even after a just revolution, rebuilding, and reconstructing, and dealing with the aftermath will be a long haul. Highly recommended books.

As I am spending Christmas just with my bf. We have some food left over from yesterday, so we will eat that. I have the turkey which will be cooked tomorrow instead. Which means, I can relax and read my book! #books #reading

Merry Christmas everyone!

Just FYI that the site and blog that I am currently writing at, are still being created. But the articles I will post will be accessible and readable. #blog

And we are live with a new post after a long long time: tanitha.me.uk/2025/12/24/b... #books #blog #dnf #reading

I wish I was able to do videos, like TikTok, but it is not something I want to do. I prefer the writing medium for myself; I can better express myself there. Plus, I absolutely hate the sound of my voice, and it would be a nightmare to edit.

Next, in the first few days of the new year, I will be posting the best books I read this year. Books that made me laugh, cry, learn a little; books that I absolutely loved. As I read diversely, and across genres, this will be a mashup, of genres.

So, I am writing an article of the books that I DNF'd this year. It will be up on my site, in the next couple of days. After that, I will have an article, about which known authors, I refuse to read and why. This is authors that have turned out to be pieces of shit.

I bought a domain yesterday. I transferred my blog there, the few things that are on it. I currently have it on wordpress.com as my blog was there, and had to start somewhere. I changed the theme for now, and will be constructing some pages and other stuff during Christmas holidays. 1/2 #blog

Monaco based tax-exile Jim Ratcliffe businesses received up to £70m UK subsidy in last 4 years. More promised. Free cash, not repayable, no means-testing, no equity stake taken. Sunday Times Rich List estimated his wealth to be £17bn. Benefit cuts for the poor, free cash for corporations/Rich.

I keep wanting to say something, and I keep not knowing what to say. The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

If it isn't completely obvious... TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN. TRANS MEN ARE MEN. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. Do not tell me that my friends and adopted family do not have the right to exist. I will fight you.

Daily reminder to @mozilla.org We do not want AI on firefox. Those of us using Firefox, we do so because we do not want AI on our browsing experience. Listen to your users.

MY daily reminder to @mozilla.org that we do not want AI on firefox. I have used firefox for years, but will switch if needed. I have used a number of browsers in my lifetime, and switching will not be a problem.

I cancelled my pre-order of a book on #Kindle and I pre-ordered it again on kobo. Amazon is going to push the "Ask Any Book" AI slop on to readers. I am going to avoid Kindle as much as I can from now on and use #kobo. #AIslop

I received another book from the giveaway that I won today. This time it was from Helen Garraway, one of her Sentinals (yes it is spelled like that on purpose) books. I cannot wait to dive into that series. #helengarraway #books #reading

When I do not like a book, there are two things that I do, if I post on social media. First of all, I will never tag the author, no matter what. If the author finds my post through a search, they need to know what I disliked, which is the second point. I will say why and what I disliked. #books

I have taken part in every book giveaway I can find online. As a reader, I love these giveaways because they let me discover new authors both traditionally published and indie. Some indie authors I have read are better than moe than a few traditionally published authors. #books #reading

I started reading "This Brutal Moon" by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social. I have been waiting for this since I finished the second book. I am at the start, but I have to say two things: it was very easy to get back into the world of the Kindom, and the stakes are high! I am enjoying the book.

Hi all. I recently won a book giveaway, with a lot of books and waiting for them to arrive. I received the first one today, which is "Shadow Dance" by @ckandersson.bsky.social and I am so excited to read it. It sounds amazing. Thank you very much.

I finished The Frost and Nectar duology by CN Crawford yesterday. I like their writing and will be getting other books from them. I may have cried a little bit at the end. #books #reading #fantasy

I am also waiting for my @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social subs to arrive (need the second book in the Nicholas Eames duology), my Illumicrate book box, and this month's book sounds amazing. So I have quite a selection of different books to read in the next couple of months. #reading #books #tbr

Reading Update #4: Also ordered some books from @scifier.bsky.social : - Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman - Extremity by Nicholas Binge - Ghost Station by S A Barnes - Red City by Marie Lu #books #tbr

Reading Update #3: I am also waiting on a number of books to arrive these days, since I got a bit of a Xmas bonus. Firstly I got the Sun Eater #1-3 from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social by Christopher Ruocchio. #books #tbr

Reading Update #2: Then I have the following on my December TBR: - Santa, Baby - Lidum - This Brutal Moon by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social - The Strength of the Few by James Islington - Hollow by Catherine Peckham and Suzanne Valenti. #books #reading #christmasreading #tbr

Reading Update #1: I am now reading "Frost" by C N Crawford, and I am enjoying this fae romance. This is a duology and I will be reading the second book "Ambrosia" immediately after. They are short books about 300 pages each, so will be finished this weekend. #reading #books #cncrawford

I DNF'd "Nophek Gloss" by Essa Hansen. I had high hopes for this book, and it disappointed me. The world building is amazing and I will try other stories in the same world if she writes them. I will definitely check out the novella. #reading #DNF #books 1/3

I have this beautiful edition, but I know that a number of people were asking for it in the UK and Europe. #books #jaysealynn #hellsbelles

Today, I will be starting "Nophek Gloss" by @essahansen.bsky.social This is a science fiction novel. I love the title and the titles of the whole Graven series. They are so imaginative. I have the whole series on kindle including the latest novella. #reading #books #sciencefiction #essahansen

I finished "Make Me A Monster" by Kalynn Bayron yesterday. This is a YA novel and I loved it. It made me cry at one point, so 4/5. #reading #books #youngadult #horror #kalynnbayron

Our NHS is being held to ransom by Donald Trump and Big Pharma. The government must not give in. act.globaljustice.org.uk/our-nhs-bein...

I started "Make Me A Monster" by @kalynnbayron.bsky.social yesterday. I am only 40 pages in, but I am intrigued. I love the setting. Meka is an interesting character. Hoping to be able to finish it during the weekend. #reading #ya #lgbtqia #horror #books

Finished Shy Trans Banshee by Tony Santorella yesterday. It was better than "Bored Gay Werewolf"! I am enjoying his writing and I am waiting for the next book in the series, hopefully. #reading #books #LGBTQIA+ #tonysantorella #shytransbanshee
