I've been reading Careless People. I feel sick. The people in charge of Meta are the actual scum of the earth. Thin-skinned, money-grubbing, and morally bankrupt.

I hope the entire place crashes and burns.

Baby is unsettled because Mama keeps putting everything in boxes. He doesn't know it yet but he's getting a bigger house and a new corridor of students to scare the living daylights out of.

I've been spredging #UKYABooks again! This time it's the amazing @mabennettauthor's Young Gothic series!

I have more books and more plans to come!

I'm not big on V day but this weekend I'll be digging into @helen_jcomerford's The Love Interest, it's been bumped up the tnt by the arrival of my eARC for The Hero Complex. But not until I finish The Notorious Virtues!

Author Interview: A FIX OF LIGHT by Kel Menton Interview with author Kel Menton and their upcoming debut A FIX OF LIGHT

It's Interview Monday! Check out our chat with Kel Menton about their debut: A FIX OF LIGHT: ukyaspotlight.co.uk/2025/02/03/a...

Please read the whole thread. Hannah makes really important points. I have refused to buy books from Amazon for a long time now. Amazon only cares about their profits & their tactics take the money from authors, self published or traditionally published. They might be easy, but they're bad for art.

Established in 2000, the Branford Boase is awarded to the author and - uniquely - the editor of the year's outstanding debut book for children and young people. It highlights the best new writers for children and puts the editor's skill in the spotlight too.

Set up in memory of award-winning author Henrietta Branford & her editor Wendy Boase, the #BranfordBoaseAward is given annually to author and editor of the year’s outstanding debut novel for children. Discover the books up for this year's award #KidLit branfordboaseaward.org.uk/2025-longlist/

Happy Birthday! You share this auspicious day with my baby brother.

Who turned 30 today but he hasn't matured any since he was 12 so 🤣

I hope the Bodelian was most excellent and I need you to release MOAR books so I can buy them.

Everyone is raving over Onyx Storm but I'm dying to get my hands on This Ends in Embers by Kamilah Cole.

My toxic trait is coveting ARCs whilst ignoring the TBR pile that has eclipsed the fireplace.

No, thank goodness. Just the endless, "this is too informal" or "Profanity is offensive, consider rephrasing."

Because apparently only formal letters maybe typed in word 🙄

I uninstalled copilot xD

I am sick to my stomach by what I saw. I'm scared and disgusted. America, I have no words.

It shouldn't have come to this and yet it has. Open, unironic Nazi Salutes by someone holding political office in a country who fought against this not 80 years ago.

God help us all.

It's MINI-SPOTLIGHT day!! Go check the spotlight on @cynthiasowrites' This Feast of a Life out on our Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DE2y_GltGA...

The Guardian view on celebrity books: call them by their names | Editorial Keira Knightley and Jamie Oliver are the latest stars to write children’s books, but too often famous names hide the talents of ghostwriters

This, 100% this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Unfortunately, I reckon this is spot on.

I'm still struggling with that after my last novel. No one wanted to even beta it. It put so much of soul into it and not one person cared to read it.

Now every word is like dragging myself through a swamp.

My cat is playing the game of how much trouble do I get into for touching the tree. He is sat next it, looking me dead in the eye as he touches the nearest bauble.

He knows what he's doing.

Reveal 2 is HERE! Go check out the HUGE giveaway @ukyaspotlight.bsky.social have going on over on Instagram so many books to win!

Conversation about how much fruit to buy for YALC weekend. Beth is exceptionally suspicious of fruit.

I have OPINIONS on fruit. And sensory issues up the wazoo.

I too got distracted xD I have 5 left because I had to go teach. I'm getting my hair cut tonight to lob and balayage again so no one will recognise me xD

I'm the same! I love this and hate it at the same time.

Just fully deactivated twitter having finally received my data download. I haven't used it since the big baby bought it so idk why it took so long xD

Bex, you never disappoint me. Make me irrationally angry and sob on the floor? Yes but never disappoint xD

My over enthusiastic face will flap in your direction on Saturday. Literally. It'll make sense on Saturday xD

Leeg xD

Láeg looks like such a cool name til I remember the time on the bad place you told us it was pronounced Lee and then all can.see in my head is Lee Evans - which is quite the mental image when reading the stories xD
