This is Fudge. She may not be the sharpest pup in the world, but more importantly, she is not a quitter. 13/10

💙📚 5⭐️ for The Secrets of Blythswood Square by @sarasheridan.bsky.social I found this book to be utterly charming as well as gripping. Being a Glasgow girl myself, it was a fascinating trip around the city in the mid 1800’s. Different times but themes that still resonate today. #Books #Booksky

Last year 18 young disabled people made art for our 1st zine The Department for Wonder & Play (the other DWP) brilliantly held by our Solidarity Coordinator Katie & designed by Zoë Thompson from sweet-thang zine: www.touretteshero.com/2024/12/01/t... Tomorrow we start recruiting for our 2025 artists

Dark Island by @spacemandan13.bsky.social is a stonking thriller set in the atmospheric Orkney Isles. Kept me gripped to the end and a perfect read for a winter’s night 📚 ⭐🤓 #Books #BookSky 💙 📚

Love this photo I took today of a swan on the frozen Forth and Clyde Canal at Firhill in Glasgow. Swans are large enough to break through the relatively thin ice, and you can see the broken shards floating around it, disrupting its reflection. #glasgow #swan #forthandclydecanal #firhill

First book of 2025 and it was a belter! Night Watching by @tsierraauthor.bsky.social 5 ⭐ from me. Got me from the start and I was breathless to the end 😱 👏🏻 📚 Looking forward to what comes next from this author. What a debut!

Enjoy your Hogmanay wherever you are, and see you all on the other side. Let 2025 be the year this space grows. Bidding farewell to the year with a few favourite pics. #BetterThanX #Glasgow

Oh, I loved The List of Suspicious Things by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social 📚♥️ ⭐️ A heart warming and nostalgic story about friendship, love and loss set during the dark years of the Yorkshire Ripper. My final book finished in 2024 to meet my GR challenge. Just made it by the skin of my teeth 😅 #books

The Silence In Between by @josieferguson.bsky.social I really enjoyed this debut novel by Josie Ferguson. A moving and compelling account of life in East Germany that flips between the war years and the division of East & West Berlin that draws you in from the start. A great debut 5⭐️ ☺️

Thanks so much Vonnie. That's really kind.

This Is Where I Am by @writerkcampbell.bsky.social Warm, compassionate and funny, Karen Campbell has a knack for highlighting the plight of our fellow citizens that are often ‘othered’ in society. Great storytelling and I LOVED it ⭐️ 📚♥️!

I've went all dark and crimey for todays #bookweekscotland post Laidlaw by William McIlvanney was published in 1977 but it's still fresh and punchy Dark Island by @spacemandan13.bsky.social is an absolute cracker of a read set on Orkney Highly recommend both 👌 #booksky 💙📚
