To celebrate the launch of his nail-biting new thriller, #NewYouForEver, bestselling author @stevecolewriter.bsky.social discusses the importance of dystopian fiction for young readers and shares some of his top picks in the genre on our blog: collins.co.uk/blogs/barrin...

The book cover of "Wolf Siren" by Beth O'Brien. The tag line says "inside every good girl is a wolf". Shows dark tree shapes in the background, in the foreground there are three huge black wolves with pointy faces and yellow eyes and in the middle there is a figure of a girl covered in a bright red cloak.

The book cover of "Ella Jones vs the Battle Noise" by Lucy Edwards. The Guardian quote says "a thrilling adventure". The cover is shiny and light blue and white. There is braille writing and a navilens code in the corner. The cover shows the main character, Ella, with red hair and a blue t-shirt; she is holding on to her guide dog's harness and dodging a bright lightning bolt shooting in the background.

This year I have been working with authors who write characters who have visual impairment. Shout out to Beth O'Brien and @lucyedwards.bsky.social I have really enjoyed Wolf Siren and the Ella Jones series! #InclusiveStoriesTour #ReadingForPleasure

A sensitive request: I'm looking to speak *anonymously* to parents or trusted adults who have supported teenage children/relatives through early relationships that showed signs of coercive control or other forms of abuse.

Very intrigued! Just reserved it with my local #library! #ReadingForPleasure

It's Monday night and it's 5pm so it's time for EPISODE SEVEN of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'

OH MY THE STREETLIGHTS ARE OFF AND IT'S LITERALLY THIS LIGHT! 💡

Thank you! 🙏

I used to work in the public libraries in Edinburgh, so interested in watching this, but the link states that the video is unavailable in my country (UK). Any other way I could watch this, please?

Yes!! This is a GREAT way to support authors-if your library doesn’t have the book, request it! Only my second year ever of PLR & it’s AMAZING to know that my books have been borrowed over 1000 times!!🥰🙏🏽 #kidlituk #ukkidlit 🐘🦜

Me and my partner work full time and rent 1-bed mid-market; it is barely affordable, I'm not even sure what that means anymore. Just because our mid-market is £200-500 less a month than some other flats in Edinburgh doesn't make ours affordable.

I've heard really good things about @molkeofficial.bsky.social

We're really proud of the platform we've built at Bold Politics in just four months and whilst we've loved having the hosts of Match of the Day and Loose Women on, it's also important that we share the stories of people without platforms too.

Love these chunky horses! 😄

They’re not doing any real brain work, real creative trial & error; they’re just making simulacrums and showing up as poseurs claiming space…look like someone who can do this thing, but really just contracted it out to a hack who copied someone else’s work…and they learned nothing, yet want credit.
