What a load of absolute nonsense.
The only thing Israel has done to these ridiculous 'useful idiots' performing propaganda clowns is put them on planes to their home countries. Personally I would’ve recommended dropping them off in Gaza, FAFO

Brilliant…funny and smart, full of science, longing and adventure (Ann Patchett)
Set in Ukraine, I highly recommend this, it’s a delight 🐌 #booksky 📚💙 #books

Just read this superb book, longlisted for the Booker Prize 2025.
It’s a devastating heartbreaker, the inhumanity of depriving a hapless innocent newborn of a home and family, in order for everyone involved to save face, finished me #Booksky📚 #books

I have just discovered the existence of Silent Companions: wooden cut-outs of people painted to look real and ...keep you company? Georgian or older. They're giving haunted/uncanny and making me think about AI companions etc. Some sort of ever-present need. holtantiquefurniture.com/products/a-p...

When I go to graveyards I try to find a grave where the person died on the date I was born. I've been doing this for years but not found a single one. The search continues.

Superb!

Most anticipated upcoming releases announced for 2026:
So excited for a new Gabriel Tallent and Kathryn Stockett Novel. I know I'm gonna love the new Meg Shaffer. Wasn't planning on reading more Klune, but that synopsis is just too good.
Also hoping for a Donna Tartt announcement 🤞

I believe it!

You may have heard a rumor that the forest will swallow you whole and spit out your bones.
This is not true.
The forest will also devour your bones, as they are quite delicious.

Thank you

Is there a sample or excerpt available somewhere of Kiran Desai’s novel
The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny?
I see it’s about two months before it’s published 😩

Wow #BookSky 📚💙

There’s a third updated edition out now, going from the Middle Ages to the Falun Gong

In times of strife, it's good to remember that you're not alone.
There are many other fog goblins, twig witches, dark fairies, and other moss draped horrors out here shambling along as best we can.
Take comfort in that.

This used to be Serebrianskyi forest. It is the frontline now.

Scorched earth instead of a vibrant living ecosystem.

It is very painful to see our beautiful #Ukraine destroyed by Russia.

Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires by Richard Sugg. Historical non-fiction.

This is astounding! Well researched too. Published in 2015 and it is available in the UK. Highly recommend.

Found this astonishing book posted by IG twicesoldtales
Holy shitballs !! ☠️
morbidly fascinating, seems life in early London was a gungy grisly abomination 📚💙 #BookSky

How do you suggest they defeat terrorists who hide in tunnels under hospitals, schools, homes and get the hostages back? When Hamas/Qatar/Iran have rejected/reneged on every ceasefire deal proposed?
Think they’re just putting their IDF soldiers at mortal risk to 'punish' naughty Gazans? Seriously?

Not once did the writer mention Israel is STILL trying to get back all hostages after it’s released 1000s of convicted criminals/terrorists. And that Israel/US have supplied tons of aid to an enemy who viciously attacked their civilians
Surrender, return hostages,
then WAR not ‘genocide' 🙄 is over

Yes indeed! 📚💙 #BookSky

What is imagination for a writer?
Just open a window, and suddenly you're seeing castles, galaxies, or anything you can dream of.

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social
