Amazing work by @shirepostmint.bsky.social and @izzywilliamson.bsky.social on the Mint Coin Tarot! An entire hand designed linocut tarot deck, engraved and then pressed on solid copper coins. Absolutely beautiful.

A box of treats has arrived! Stunning copper tarot coins from @shirepostmint.bsky.social & @izzywilliamson.bsky.social. So much to explore within this beautiful box.

Properly presented physical albums hugely boost the experience. @greenlungband.bsky.social and @slipperyjack.bsky.social have proved this (again) with "Necropolitan". DAMN that's a good looking record, with a massive, proper sleeve notes booklet too. A work of art in every sense. #GreenLung

Respect AND value shall be mine, thanks to @legbootlegit.bsky.social and @shirepostmint.bsky.social and their epic thick coins! Should all coins be as hefty as their Thnickels and Thents? I think you know the answer...

There can be only one... author of definitive #Highlander books, and it's clearly @jonmelville.bsky.social! Delighted with his new "Art & Making of Highlander" book, published this coming week by @titanbooks.bsky.social. A real bonus to be able to get a signed copy direct from the man himself!

Gorgeous "Emberlings" book arrived today from @tomsbrown.bsky.social & @taliskimberley.bsky.social. Seen here with Tom's original art for the "Mudlarking" poem, which I was fortunate to acquire while the book was being written last year. A lovely project well worth the wait. Recommended!

Sharing this on the slim chance that anyone following me doesn't know about/already have this book. If you don't, then you should.

I am heartened to learn that @scalzi.com's approach to "show your planning" at school was very similar to how my essay plans and computer "pseudocode" were done.

Highly anticipated, highly recommended. Check out the wares of @tomsbrown.bsky.social & @taliskimberley.bsky.social.

I (or rather my wife, for whom it was a gift) own the original of this lovely drawing. I can't wait to have the book and see it in context with all the poetry and other pictures. I hope @tomsbrown.bsky.social and @taliskimberley.bsky.social will be offering signed copies please?

It's a great time for classic Doctor Who fans, with the @cutawaycomics.bsky.social team delivering so many brilliant projects. Don't miss their return to "Paradise Towers", with art by @silvanobeltramo.bsky.social and script by @seanmason87.bsky.social: www.kickstarter.com/projects/roo...

Important to remember that Paradise Towers owned the word "unalive" decades before internet censorship made it A Thing. Prophetic writing from @doctoryatt.bsky.social! @cutawaycomics.bsky.social projects are vital for #DoctorWho fans, and stories (like this one) have an even wider appeal.

Stephen Candy @stephencandy.co.uk · 17/05/2026

Three cheers for @cutawaycomics.bsky.social & Roundel Books for this amazing bundle of "DNA of Doctor Who" treats, including brilliance from @garethothevworp.bsky.social, @twilightstreets.bsky.social, @willbrooks1989.bsky.social and many more - as well as a gorgeous original sketch by John Ridgway!

So many classic films are cheaper to buy and own physical media than rent digitally - plus the chance for tasty special features/commentaries etc. Even if, post-watch, you immediately donate it to charity or give it away, still a win!

Finally added the original 2022 ARC of @merrowchild.bsky.social's "Sixteen Souls" to my collection! A perfect way to round off @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social. Can't recommend this book (and Rosie's other work too) enough. Hope you all found something great to read today.

It's @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social tomorrow! Here's another of my favourites, the saztaculous "Matlock the Hare" trilogy by @matlockhare.bsky.social. Well worth joining them for a majickal adventure. I'm looking forward to a busy, bookish day...

Since @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social is almost here, I'm going to revisit some recent favourite books. Here's @dannyrobins.bsky.social & Ellen Walker's "Do You Believe In Ghosts?" Just the sort of spooky book I loved as a child and still love today. A perfect supernatural primer!
