Can you recommend any classic books I must read? Or your fave book that you want me to discover? I'm trying to create a reading challenge of 50 or 100 books I've not read before to kick my reading year off and give me a goal for 2025. All suggestions welcome! #readingchallenge #reading #books

Woke up this morning with this guy on my mind and thought "I simply must cross stitch him" and so, hours later, here he is.

A cross stitch of convicted master felon and antagonist of Wallace and Gromit: Feathers McGraw. He is a plasticine penguin, wearing a red rubber glove as a cap to deceive people into thinking he is an innocent chicken when he is in fact a very evil and criminal penguin.

just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! many also have dvds, cds, video games, internet hot spots, grindr hookup spots, chupacabras, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, skibidi toilets, gateways to the shadow realm, and so much more! maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚❤️📚❤️📚

A reminder to anyone trapped in an airport due to weather conditions right now: You have a right to stay in a nearby picturesque village while the airline sorts out a rebooked flight for the 27th. They also have to provide a widowed lumberjack for you to fall in love with. Know your rights.

If we live in The Lion King universe, this must be the bit where Hunter Biden goes for some adventures in the wilderness before coming back when everyone is starving to defeat Trump in battle while the wilderness burns around them?

I don’t want to force anybody into anything, but it’s a great time for Jason Segel to release a full length puppet-led vampire musical.

There's a whole lot of hooray there. New people in my life, collaborations, fab co-conspirators rah ha ha - and it's brilliant. Also, I'm 8 years in and feel like I just got started. No 2 routes, styles, levels of productivity are the same, but I hope the overall picture is interesting & encouraging

I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding. I unclenched my jaw I didn't know I'd been clenching. I relaxed my tongue I didn't know was taut. I relaxed my shoulders that were up to my ears.

It’s time for my ever-growing thread of tax write-offs for authors & illustrators to keep in mind as we head into year-end. ✨ Book-related travel ✨ New computer/equipment ✨ Internet / office space ✨ Paper, office stuff, packaging items, stamps ✨ Software like Word, Scrivener, Canva Pro etc.

I love a Penguin Clothbound Classic and have been slowly expanding my collection over the last few years. I'm also partial to a Virago Modern Classic. This is my favourite bookcase in the house to gaze at for obvious reasons then! 😁 Do you have book any pretty book editions that you collect? 💙📚

A bookcase of classic books - mostly clothbound collector's editions.

Blows my mind that Tacitus’ Annals only survived thanks to a single manuscript. Or rather two. The only copy of the first half was saved in a monastery in Germany and the only copy of the second half was in Monte Cassino. That’s how fine the thread that links us to our history.

I’ve seen a few posts recently arguing whether audiobooks count as reading. For me, the important thing is people are able to access books in the way that best suits them, be it ebooks, audiobooks or physical books. Some people don’t get that access at all and we that do are the lucky ones.
