I've almost finished this, and gosh I'm having so much fun! I'm so intrigued by the background world-building.

I'd like more of a balance between staff/prees/naughty Middles (a key feature of the Chalet School imo), but the peril is top notch and I'm definitely up for reading more.

Are you a fan yet? Chaz Brenchley's Crater School books are a perfect recreation of the classic girls' boarding school tales such as the Chalet School series. There's just one twist: the school is on Mars! The first book in the series is Three Twins at the Crater School.

Cover of Three Twins at the Crater School by Chaz Brenchley. Art by Ben Baldwin. Three young girls in green school uniforms cower back at the edge of a lake. From the waters emerges a giant Martian creature: part-insect, part-lobster. The Crater School buildings can be seen in the background.

Just finished before my lunch today. Two quite different but enjoyable stories.
One of which makes me wonder if a future world all now celebrates Halloween on the last Friday of October thanks to Killie's prominence.

Love novellas? How about two in one book? In Wiz Duo 2, Juliet Kemp sends a reluctant knight on a quest, while E M Faulds gives her heroine a superpower that totally sucks.

Someone spreading misinformation on the internet to influence the US presidential election? Who would ever have thought of that? Lyda Morehouse did, 25 years ago. The first book in the AngeLINK series is Archangel Protocol.

Presumably the Musk Rat thinks that Welsh people are Black.
alanlester.bsky.social Alan Lester @alanlester.bsky.social · 1d
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

I devoured this book series in little more than a week. They were hard to put down, so I didn't.
My only problem is that now I have to wait for the next one.

New post: LABOUR'S SECTION 28 IS HERE - ACT NOW.

I explain how the Labour government's proposed revisions to the guidance on "keeping children in education" are designed to erase trans children in England. But it's not a done deal - there is plenty we can do to oppose this.
Labour’s Section 28 is here – act now
In May 1988, the Conservative government introduced Section 28. This legal measure outlawed support for “homosexuality as a pretended family relationship” across Britain, especially in …

Senior Reform UK figures attend launch of "How to Launder Money" book

They're not even trying to hide it, relying on low-information voters and racism.

BBC just did a tribute to John Curry without mentioning that he was killed prematurely by AIDS like so many gay men in the late 20th century, especially those who felt they had to hide their sexuality. Never forget.
