I have a brand new Loki out TOMORROW. But in the meantime, please feast your eyes on the cover of LOKI: A Bad God's Guide to Causing Chaos, coming early SEPT... #BeLEssLoki #KidLitUK @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social Preorder NOW www.walker.co.uk/978152951581... or www.pagesofhackney.co.uk/webshop/prod...
A graphic showing the cover of LOKI: A Bad God's Guide to Cauasing Chaos. It's yellow and, if you squint, shows Freyja, who we first met in the Loki World Book Day Book, Tales of a Bad God. We also see a very angry horned Hyrrokkin, a cat fighting a dog, and some random ocean creatures. Oh and Loki as a bat. I can't remember if he turns into a bat in the book I think i just thought it looked cool. Maybe I should add him as a bat, there's still time...

It's Darwin Day. And I can I heartily recommend for all your evolving middlegrade adventure requirements, the rather brilliant Darwin's Dragons by @lindsaygalvin.bsky.social @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book cover for Darwin's Dragons with an illustration of a dragon on a shore with a clutch of four gold egss, and a ship on the sea in the distance.

Children's books are not a luxury. Libraries & librarians are not a luxury. The teachers who work so hard to inspire kids to read are not a luxury. If you cut or undermine or lose these things – #literacy will cease to be a basic human right, and will become a luxury, available only to a few.

I have news that I am not sure if I have shared here! A new Loki book on March 20th! It's a book of short stories and Loki-themed activities and it features Loki shape shifting into many glorious creatures.... For the more orderly games, loki had help lokibooks.com/books/loki-a... #KidlitUK
Graphic with orange background branded #BeLessLoki and Walker Books (with their bear logo graffiti'd with horns) showing the cover of LOKI: A Bad God's Guide to Unrualy activities - 50 puzzles, games and quizzes. It has lots of doodles on the cover including Loki with his spiky black hair, a horse, a clock, a dice and a party hat. Oh and a poo. Several poos in fact.

A page from BROKEN PLACES AND OUTER SPACES (TED Books, 2019) and the inner cover of DEATH OF THE AUTHOR (HarperCollins, Jan 14, 2025). 🤖

This novel (DEATH OF THE AUTHOR) has been a long time coming.
Chapter 8 Rusting Robot I remember how I used to be. On the tennis court, there were days when I could see through time. It happened most often when things got really heated. Something inside me would align. The tennis term for this heightened state of being is "treeing." It is when you are playing out of your mind, when you can do no wrong, when you can make the universe yield to your every whim. I know it sounds intense, because it is. When I treed, sometimes I could predict the future. Not that far, about one second. I'd know exactly where my opponent was going to hit the ball because I'd see it happen right before it did. It was just enough time to make use of the knowledge. Even before I began to write science fiction, though I didn't know it, I was sci-fi. In those moments, my athleticism really was a superpower. Now, when I write about characters with abilities, the gift of flight, time travel, shape-shifting, I draw from my own experiences as an incredible athlete. And for these characters' conflicts and limitations within the narrative, I draw from my experiences with and recovering from paralysis. Rusted Robots (the second cover of DEATH OF THE AUTHOR)

'The Great Phoenix of London' by @lindsaygalvin.bsky.social - To be honest, I bought this because of the cover but oh my god, what a wonderful blend of historical fiction and fantasy! I could almost feel the heat of the fire, smell the burning wood, and was rooting for main character(s) throughout!

Please, if you're able, support Independent bookshops in the run up to Christmas.

Their curation and knowledge will help you choose books that no algorithm can.

And algorithms don't smile and chat to you either.

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.
