Just finished this fantastic book by @dorianlynskey.bsky.social . Firstly, I have now come away with a vast secondary reading and watch list about the end of the world. Secondly, it has only confirmed my opinion that HG Wells deserves an Origin Story at some point? @iandunt.bsky.social

The Brittas Empire. I love it as a vehicle for Chris Barrie but I would never argue it is an actually good sitcom.

Just about to start this masterful tome by @alanallport.bsky.social . I adored the first book when I first read it a few years ago I have no doubt this will be just as good. Also, lovely to read a historian whose politics I don't find highly questionable 😂

A genuinely fantastic book that lives up to its mighty predecessor trilogy. I particularly loved how Todd and Viola are written as parents with their aging feeling very natural and real. Also, Max and Ben are great new protagonists. Thank you @patricknessbooks.bsky.social

Aww such a precious boy. Our four pet ones were the most precious of animals but I couldn't deal with their combination of big personalities and short life spaces. Far too emotionally devastating when they shuffled off the mortal coil.

The toys are getting more fun to play with. I give you the Battlestar Duplo - so say we all.

Book number 60 of the year and the best non-fiction one. An excoriating book on the failings of many aspects of our state and practical solutions to accompany them. A rare book that lived up to the hype. Thanks @samfr.bsky.social and it is only more depressing 18 months after publication.

I fear the slow collapse of the Remainiac's car sticker and the Peace, Love and Understanding one might be an unsubtle comment on the state of the world @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social

Quite literally the smile of this Clive Barker villain Mr Rictus.

Looking forward to starting this as I remember it being the best of the first four books. Sadly, they have not aged as well I hoped that would so far.

Just finished this wonderful historical mystery by @emcarrollauthor.bsky.social. I can't wait to read it to my Year 5 class.

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social @originstorypodcast.bsky.social I searched for Dorian's net worth as suggested in the Daily Mail episode and the first article is seemingly Ian complaining about poverty in the Mail which amuses me.

The challenge is to choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.
