"Een fantastisch verhaal over je plek vinden in de wereld, zelfs als die plek daar anders over denkt"
Ik las 'De 113e assistent-bibliothecaris' geschreven door Stuart Wilson - Uitgeverij Moon. Lees hier mijn recensie graaggelezen.blogspot.com/2026/02/ik-l... @stuwilsonwrites.bsky.social
The 113th Assistant Librarian now has a friend! Lost in a Book continues Oliver and Agatha's adventures as they are confronted with a very special edition of a book that may spell doom for both Hallarum and the Shrouded Alps. More literary peril! More London! And a giant spider crab! (Shudder!)
Haha thank youuuu!
The launch for Lost in a Book is, appropriately, happening on Love Your Bookshop Day! 2pm at Readings Kids in Carlton on 11 October, hosted by the amazing Karys McEwen! Link in bio for tickets 📖🐱✨
The launch for The 113th Assistant Librarian: Lost in a Book will be held @readingskids in Carlton on 11 October 2025 at 2pm! Please, please come along and remember to book - it's free! Would love to see you there! www.readings.com.au/events/lost-...
Little bit in love with the cover design for the Russian translation of The 113th Assistant Librarian!
Fascinated by the fact that in Netflix's Fear Street: Prom Queen, every single instance of the heroine's tortured backstory is ADR dialogue delivered by someone off-camera. They changed the backstory in post! Please tell me someone else noticed this... #horrormovie
Thank you! And it's hard to think of a worse first few days on the job! 🙃
Thanks to a question from a translator, I just discovered a punchline in my published book that doesn't make sense. 🙃 Love this for me!
Strangely, and at the risk of aging myself,I still think Press Gang is the best thing he has done!
There aren't enough fingers on the planet!
It's a mess. And I used to really like Moffat's stuff!
I have lived through an era in which I had almost any information at my fingertips, where with savvy search skills I could find whatever I wanted, a facility with information Diderot would have wept to have.
I'm sixty. I remember before Google and easy reliable search. And now I have outlived it.
What do you see? Kaneda? What do you see?!
As someone who has wanted to be a writer from the earliest point I can remember, I resent the act of writing a lot. Because it’s extremely fucking hard and time-consuming and painful and oftentimes thankless. But that’s what you sign up for when you decide to write. There are no shortcuts.
Some of my favourite performances are when a "big" star does a bit part. See also Robin Williams in Dead Again.
Sidenote: my favourite Clive Owen performance!
Excellent advice. Every scene you write should contribute to developing or advancing your plot, characters or setting. Ideally, any two of the three.
Congrats!
I really like Death Magnetic (the Guitar Hero version). Also I'd include Septicflesh's Communion!
One of the best comeback albums without a doubt, IMHO

Mmm. I can't imagine that being an enjoyable task for an author a decade after releasing a book...
I'm in awe of how good the Netflix animated Asterix and the Big Fight adaptation was. All the contemporary touches felt 100% in the spirit of the original. Hope we get more books adapted!
Has this happened before? Actual rewrites for a new age bracket, rather than just new covers??
i don't need this ai bubble to pop i need it to shatter into thousands of pieces like an old thermometer, each shard lodging mercury splinters into the eyes and ears and under the nails of every linkedin grifter who used chat gpt to generate an "adapt or die" post or some banality about emdashes
Honoured that The 113th Assistant Librarian has made the 2025 KOALA awards shortlist! Ecstatic that young readers so enjoyed a book about a kid who loves books!
Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Can we add his bit part in Dead Again to that list, please?
