Can you recommend any classic books I must read?
Or your fave book that you want me to discover?
I'm trying to create a reading challenge of 50 or 100 books I've not read before to kick my reading year off and give me a goal for 2025. All suggestions welcome!

Woke up this morning with this guy on my mind and thought "I simply must cross stitch him" and so, hours later, here he is.

A reminder to anyone trapped in an airport due to weather conditions right now:

You have a right to stay in a nearby picturesque village while the airline sorts out a rebooked flight for the 27th. They also have to provide a widowed lumberjack for you to fall in love with.

Know your rights.

If we live in The Lion King universe, this must be the bit where Hunter Biden goes for some adventures in the wilderness before coming back when everyone is starving to defeat Trump in battle while the wilderness burns around them?

I don’t want to force anybody into anything, but it’s a great time for Jason Segel to release a full length puppet-led vampire musical.

There's a whole lot of hooray there. New people in my life, collaborations, fab co-conspirators rah ha ha - and it's brilliant. Also, I'm 8 years in and feel like I just got started. No 2 routes, styles, levels of productivity are the same, but I hope the overall picture is interesting & encouraging

Wonky books are back!

We sell books that get returned to us by retailers such as Amazon, which have become dented, torn and/or dirty, as well as some spectacular misprints, all at over 50% off. It means we're not pulping and our authors aren't missing out on royalties.

I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding. I unclenched my jaw I didn't know I'd been clenching. I relaxed my tongue I didn't know was taut. I relaxed my shoulders that were up to my ears.

I love a Penguin Clothbound Classic and have been slowly expanding my collection over the last few years. I'm also partial to a Virago Modern Classic. This is my favourite bookcase in the house to gaze at for obvious reasons then! 😁
Do you have book any pretty book editions that you collect? 💙📚

Blows my mind that Tacitus’ Annals only survived thanks to a single manuscript. Or rather two. The only copy of the first half was saved in a monastery in Germany and the only copy of the second half was in Monte Cassino. That’s how fine the thread that links us to our history.

I’ve seen a few posts recently arguing whether audiobooks count as reading. For me, the important thing is people are able to access books in the way that best suits them, be it ebooks, audiobooks or physical books. Some people don’t get that access at all and we that do are the lucky ones.
