EXACTLY THIS. There is so little space for book coverage in any medium, when one of the vanishingly few spaces is replaced with AI slop, that hurts.

Children will always need BOOKS to help them make sense of the world. I love the idea that children's books can be bridges connecting all children, crossing all barriers, helping them to imagine a better world – and to build it, one day. #books www.theguardian.com/childrens-bo...

KICKFLIP wouldn’t exist without JAMIE being published… they really are sibling books. Seeing the reaction to Jamie gave me the confidence to write the Kickflip script in the first place. If you liked one, you’ll love the other! 💛🤍💜🖤

i just finished Some Body Like Me by @ldlapinski.bsky.social and my heart is full and broken in equal measure. What an achingly beautiful, unapologetically hopeful and devastatingly human novel. Stars. I am bereft.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

We did not ring the bell in the shop today. But it's ok, Michael's hosting a creative writing in the shop tonight, so he's under instruction to tell them that lesson one is to buy two books every Tuesday.
