Artezans: The Last Spellbreaker (Artezans 3) by L.D. Lapinski Cover illustration by Joe Todd Stanton In some ways, the older I get, the more time seems to speed up. I can’t believe that my daughter will be 30 this year, because that time has rushed past…

Out 12/03, Artezans: The Last Spellbreaker by @ldlapinski.bsky.social is a fast-paced and thrilling conclusion to one of my favourite middle grade trilogies. Huge thanks to @hachettechildrens.bsky.social #NetGalley for my advance read.

Whoever is hogging the only copy of Whalefall in the Highlands, hurry up and return it to Fortrose Library. I’ve had it on hold for nearly a month now

THE BAG HAS BEEN SECURED

A beardy man (shown from the shoulders up) looking upwards as a propaganda image of a blood-soaked Cyprus is projected on him and the wall behind him.

It's finally coming to London! 🇨🇾
