Finished! The second Charles Stross book Iron Sunrise. Some of the same characters and worlds as the first book. Less military talk and further new ideas. Good fun. #booksky #sff

Sorry, do try to get your tickets soon - I know 1st October may seem a long way out but tickets are limited! (Also, sorry it is Marvellous Michael Anson) But to hear these authors chatting about Folklore will be wonderful! #booksky #sff #forbiddenplanet #London

Finished another Alastair Reynolds! Chasm City. This one was also fun, and it was good to see some of the themes of the Revelation Space world popping up and find out how Chasm City fared (not well). Great characters and a really good plot. #booksky #sff

Finished Pushing Ice. Loved it! Am on a bit of an Alastair Reynolds hit at the moment. This is as always full of brilliant ideas, and also great plot, characters and is fun to read. Highly recommended if you like space opera. #booksky 📚💙

Finished Blue Remembered Earth by Alastair Reynolds. As always lots of really good ideas! Sometimes feel the characters are behaving strangely but that could be just me (or what the future does to us!) fun to read. #booksky #sff 📚💙

Happy pride month! 🩷🌈 If you like Queer normal fantasy, try Princeweaver. Full of myth, magic and murder... and a slow burn MM romance in the mix. Author is queer and definitely no AI in the book or any of the artwork...and it's brilliant! #booksky 📚💙 #sff #pridemonth #queerfantasy

Why would you not want these beautiful blue flowers in your lawn? They are speedwell and really lovely, yet the first thing the Ai says us it is invasive and then says resistant to weed killers...indicates some have tried to kill it! Wildlife Trust says great for pollinators. #gardening

It is one if those books that really stays in your head, along with the main characters and the world itself. To me that really demonstrates the strength of a book, and the author. #booksky #sff #Princeweaver

Finished reading In Ascension. I can see why the reviews on Goodreads suggest 'marmite'. It is not quite what I expected, but I did enjoy most of it. Very focused on family and childhood memories for a sci fi as well as the ocean, space, etc. Has anyone else read it? #booksky #sff

Please be careful if tidying your garden. Here is a little european frog hiding under a tub. I put the tub back down straight away. They eat lots of things you don't want in the garden including slugs, so give them space. #mygarden #frogs

On world book day. Reflections on human books not AI, part 2. All the research, development and care that clearly shows through. Princeweaver for example, the author is half Welsh and brought up on the myths, yet researched so many books and articles. I know not all do this, but it does show.

On world book day, reflections on why I want books by real people not AI. Part 1. The books that really make me think, keep me returning in my mind to the world created always show the essence of the person writing it. Experiences, knowledge and skills.

Happy Earth day! Our garden is blooming with Wildflowers and cultivated, a mix is apparently best. Have really let it bloom since we moved here 6 years ago and it shows. No insecticides, leave most of the lawn to grow, welcome 'weeds' especially dandelions, and look! #wildflowers #my garden

Just finished Children of Strife. Absolutely love it. So good to be back in the world (if you are scared of spiders these will make you less so I think). An excellent follow up to the first 3 books. Worryingly true about how certain people would behave... Thanks @aptshadow.bsky.social

Princeweaver is now officially launched in US and ROW. I just so love this book I hope it does well. It deserves to be loved by many. Did you know that in Welsh Mythology, the fox is a reminder to think fast, a shape shifter, a guide to the otherworld and an omen of death. Very fitting! #booksky

You wouldn’t fill a wine cellar with the empty bottles of wines you’d already enjoyed; similarly, bookshelves shouldn’t consist solely of #books you’ve already read. It’s important to have a good selection of new reads for every occasion.

Cloud Atlas is indeed brilliant, my vote would go for Arrival, an excellent film made from just a short story - if that's allowed! So imaginative and I really love the bit where she is explaining how difficult it is to understand aliens language/each other. 👽 #booksky #book-to-film
