Just so you know, if you'd like a book that's not on my website, you can.

And right now, i'd REALLY appreciate it.

You can message me here.
You can DM me.
Or you can email me at biggreenbooks@gmail.com.

I can get pretty much anything.

Thanks.

The paperback of Grace's book's coming out in January '26.

Hopefully, with your help, we'll then be able to get it into loads of health centres and GP surgeries all across the UK.

Please help, if you can.

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

Good luck running vital services when locals withhold council tax, Epping Council. It’s difficult to know who’s responsible for the bullet hole in your foot when you and your racist citizens are all holding a smoking gun that you’ve loaded for them.

always good to check the edit history on Twitter as they can sometimes be revealing

What Douglas Carswell has written today is awful bad in its final form, but his original tweet was worse

He's not correcting a typo
"From Epping to the sea, let's make England immigrant free" just showed his hand

My brother in law was very pleased with the North York Moors print I gave him for his birthday. Gail's frames are also worth the extra money vs somewhere like ikea bc a) the prints then come framed so you don't have to do anything and b) they're much higher quality than ones I buy myself 🤦

The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers. They shape us at the deepest levels, and they stay with us forever. So whatever else you do - please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. Please never stop changing lives! #literacy

I see Donald Trump and our version, Boris Johnson, are trying to out-stupid each other. So far, the scores are:
Ridiculous hair: 1-1
Narcissism: 1-1
Pompous bloviating: 1-1
Fucking stupid cult following: 1-1
Utter incompetence as leader: 2-1 to Trump, giving Trump a slight lead. More as we get it.

@eurovision.tv I’ll be turning over when a certain country performs. My son refuses to watch because of your flag rules. No idea what you think you’re doing but it’s not a good look.

I enjoyed Vance and Rubio listening and watching with sneaking admiration to a dignified, measured, informed and intelligent Mark Carney responding to Trump’s lies and arrogant bullshit and realising what a monstrous moron they’ve sold their withered souls to. I hope they can’t sleep at night.

Did anyone else watch stunningly colourful shows like Pot Black, Come Dancing and The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau in glorious black and white?

My adult son asked the order of the colours in snooker at the weekend and I reeled them off. How had I learned them? The honest answer is from Snooker Loopy by Chas & Dave.
