I have some copies of A Con Affair and Crisis of Infinite Boyfriends still, so if you’d like some signed, spicy sweet gay romance, now’s a great time to get them!

This is a really interesting reinflection of reading survey data - a welcome move away from the endless doomsaying of decreasing numbers
77% of people who don’t call themselves readers read every week.

Britain doesn’t have a shortage of readers. We have a shortage of people who feel like readers.

It’s time to #RedefineReading.

This text used to read "Megakles kalos" (Megakles is really hot), but it was changed to read "Glauketes kalos" 😳

I'm aware about actors acting and all that but it's come to my attention that the same actor plays Mercutio in Romeo+Juliet is also Link in The Matrix: Reloaded. The range etc etc. My mind, it is blown.
