Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

Books I read this year here, but I'm going to try. #1. MURDER ON THE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS by Alexandra Benedict (3.5*) I'm disappointed. This could and should have been a captivating page-turner and didn't live up to expectations (as set by the author in the blurb).

I apologize for dropping this bomb here / het spijt me dat ik dit zo moet aankondigen.

Here's a short intro video for my creative writing resource, Feel the Change. It's a way of exploring the basic concepts of climate change through storytelling, and is free to download. Produced in association with @PoetryIreland and @GreenSchoolsIre. greenschoolsireland.org/feel-the-cha...

Please Share! This is a FREE creative writing resource using stories and cartoons to teach writing on the theme of climate change. Based on years of school residencies in primary and secondary, the aim is emotional engagement rather than delivering facts. antaisceeeu.sharepoint.com/sites/CAPTea...

Food for thought from @oisinmcgann.bsky.social

Happy Release Day, @tommeadauthor.bsky.social Congratulations on another amazing story. The Murder Wheel is spectacular! helenasheat.blogspot.com/2023/10/the-...

Author? Book publicity person? Festival programmer? Hi 🙂 I'm a broadcaster in Ireland, former presenter of RTE's The Book Show (when it still existed), run a book club with 40,000 members, talk about new books I'm liking on my socials and on radio, curate and interview at book festivals, /thread

#journorequest looking to talk to people in Ireland who are huge fans of Christmas. Maybe you start planning at Easter, have presents bought and tree up by November and/or go crazy with decorating. Get in touch if any thoughts. Shares appreciated.

My thoughts about The Murder Wheel by @tommeadauthor.bsky.social In one sentence: Nothing short of spectacular!

Starting my festive reading shockingly early and aiming for one story per day.

I do this every now and then. This is Domino. He's one of the dogs that has been the longest at the DSPCA. Liz and I brought him out for a walk up to the Hellfire Club recently and he is a sweetheart... What about adopting him? www.dspca.ie/dimo-17590 A share would help too...

Delighted to be supporting Children in Read - bid for #SomethingTerribleHappenedLastNight (& I'll pop something extra into the parcel) here www.jumblebee.co.uk/childreninre... Dedication Available: YES Postage & Packaging: FREE Bids Accepted: Global Go go go, it's for a great cause!

@tommeadauthor.bsky.social WOW! Congratulations are in order. The Murder Wheel is nothing short of spectacular. Loved it. Review to follow.

Not a fan of delayed gratification. Especially not when it is imposed rather than by choice.

Just arrived here and still finding my feet but very much looking forward to what promises to be a healthier social media experience.
