This is a friendly reminder that library cards are free, and your local public library will never make you pay extra so you don't have to watch ads.

I volunteer at an animal sanctuary and they've just got a new rabbit called Anthony Flopkins. That name is inspired!

Authors going on socials to say thanks for their PLR statement are a reminder that - despite what the likes of Zuckerberg say - people’s work is worth something, and that if you pay micropayments to creators, it makes a huge difference to their viability. Because lots of us don’t earn all that much.

A huge thank you to @britishlibrary.bsky.social for PLR. It makes such a difference to authors. Readers, did you know that every time you take out a book from the library, the author gets some money? It's such a fabulous scheme. #AmWriting #PLR

A lovely Icelandic term for pins and needles (tingling after your foot goes numb) is stjörnur í skónum, or “stars in your shoes.” A Yoruba version is pajapaja (“kill dog kill dog”). And the best one I’ve heard in German (uttered by a friend’s child) was mein Fuß glitzert. It means “my foot twinkles”

My girls, adopted from foster care, arrived with few possessions, apart from a box of books they'd each been given by @Booktrust. These books, read together, became our first shared memories. Spread the joy of reading by donating this Christmas: www.booktrust.org.uk/xmas

We had a fabulous 146th birhday party on Saturday night. The theme was movie mayhem. Please say you can work out who I am...

Idea for a crime novel. Someone sets up a starter pack and each name on there are killed off one by one. The remaining people have to team up to work out who the killer is. 💙📚 #booksky
