Finished reading #Jitterbug yesterday - a fun frolic through what's left of the solar system - by @garethlpowell.bsky.social

It reminded me so much of #Firefly that I decided to read #BigDamnHero, which has been sitting on my shelf for a while and I thought now would be a good time

Not many photos of me survive from the 1990s. Here’s my student union ID card picture from 1992.

No spoilers, but pleased to say I thought the final episode of Starfleet Academy stuck the landing and nicely wrapped an enjoyable series.

The cover of WHO WILL YOU SAVE? by Gareth L Powell. It shows a figure on an alien landscape reaching up to a figure standing on an upside down reflection of the landscape above.

The cover of JITTERBUG by Gareth L Powell features a stylised rocket silhouette at the centre of an orrery, with a space suited figure dangling in its wake

Here I am with the books of the moment! The BSFA Award-shortlisted collection WHO WILL YOU SAVE? and the newly released novel JITTERBUG. They pair nicely together for anyone who likes imaginative fiction with great characters.
Get them now from @titanbooks.bsky.social and all good booksellers.

It’s the boss’s playlist. Lots of soul music.

My morning routine in the bookshop: unlock the door, log into the tills and stock system, tidy the shelves, sweep the floors, fire up the cappuccino machine, start playing the shop playlist, unpack and sort deliveries, make a coffee, turn on window lights and switch the sign from closed to open…

That must be an Atlantic bluefin tuba, which averages 2 m and is believed to live up to 50 years.
