Since last year I’ve been reading this series with my seven year old. I never read them when they first came out and I’m loving the experience, as is my seven year old

T Kingfisher does it again twisting fairy tales into something so much more than they ever were. A Sorceress comes to call is a loose retelling of the little goose girl but you can heavily see its inspiration within the book. Loved this one

Slowly building up my collection of hard back Terry Pratchett books. My favourite ones follow the witches or the nights watch. I have a special place in my heart for Granny Weatherwax.

Last night I discovered a podcast on BBC sounds called ‘Book club’ that has been going as a radio show since the 80’s. The podcast has readers and the author in the same room discussing the author’s book and there are no holds barred. The readers are critical to the authors face and the author is

If you’re afraid to write your book because you think its content stands no chance in the coming climate, Remember that banned books (and books victims thought the world would never see) are the only honest window we have into some of the darkest moments of history. Write the book. #booksky

So…I got a switch for Christmas (no I do not care that the new one is coming out) and so far I have finished Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Violet (the saddest Pokemon story I’ve ever played). I’m not sure I’m getting on with Legends of Arceus though…any tips from the Pokemon community?
