Was this chapter section actually as bad as I remember it or was I just being a smidge dramatic: a story about revisions.

I'm very happy to see another project come to fruition with Apardjón. A massive shout out to not only Christopher but also the editorial team - without them this wouldn't exist (ESPECIALLY @blaketjuguskegg.bsky.social). 2026, the year of epic special issues. 💪🏻 #medievalsky

We (and by we I mean my dad while I sat and watched) planted lavender in the garden a few summers ago and it's since grown quite large. Lots of bee action! 🐝

This very happy bookseller spent her Easter tearing through Henry Power's "Homer-Haunted", due to be published in July. This is a lesson in excellence. Power skilfully guides us through the many individuals fascinated by the work of Homer, tying his assessment into the Iliad and Odyssey. ⭐

Finally got my hands on @norseincork.bsky.social's lovely new book. 📚 Time for a deep dive into runes. 😁 #medievalsky

A small white hardback book. the cover has an engraved standing stone with Norse futhark runes which are carved across the body of a snake figure. The book is called Runes: A Concise History and is written by Tom Birkett.

Proud and excited to present Apardjón's latest special volume. Connections and the Church in Late Norse Scotland is a fantastic exploration of the influences on Norse Scotland at the time of Bishop Adam. Incredible work from our guest editors and contributing authors. 💪🏻 #MedievalSky

I started my new year reading with some magnificent Welsh folk horror. It follows Carwyn and Rhian, dealing with a brutal year in their isolated sheep farm. When Carwyn discovers a stone circle on their land, he becomes obsessed - while his wife Rhian, watches her husband become a stranger. #BookSky

Naomi Mitchison's Travel Light is being republished in March as a Virago Modern Classic. She weaves Norse myth into a fun adventure that touches on lessons of greed. I really enjoyed reading this! #BookSky #MedievalSky

A new retelling of Bisclavret: a lord trapped in lupine form. 12th century Brittany! Shout out to Hachette for spoiling booksellers like myself. 😁 So excited to dive into this! #BookSky #MedievalSky

A hardback copy of The Wolf and his King by Finn Longman. The cover is colourful, a blue background with stars. A gold crown in the forefront with a wolf standing over it.

It's a weird and embarrassing hill to die on, that your reason for thinking the new Frankenstein is bad is because it's faithful to the novel? Jesus wept. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Jacob Elordi is a very sympathetic monster in this visually stunning but thematically lacking film, which co-stars Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth
