Good wuestion! I’m a teacher. I get multiple copies so kids can do buddy or group reads.

I nearly sent that ‘bunnies on a trampoline’ clip to someone but then I got a whiff of AI and after watching it another ten times I spotted the tells. It is AI. The spin offs too. But it all slips through doesn’t it, filters into our general gloop like a poison.

Such a great story teller. I also loved Rebel. 😍

NOPE

Just finished this curious little novella by Susanna Clarke. I think I sometimes live in the same city as Merowdis. ‘The King’s capital of Newcastle. But not that Newcastle. The other one.’ Stunning illustrations. #amreading

Three books published by Nosy Crow. Murder at Wintertide, Murder in Midwinter and Murder at Snowfall. They aren't a series. Different protagonists in each one.

I'm going to try a Bluesky giveaway.
Don't know how it's going to go - but I'm giving all three of these books to a school or a family. Cozy crime for 9 - 13 year olds.
One winner, UK only.
