Did you know that one of IQ's 'Giving Back' inspirations was Dolly Parton? It's true! Now, for every 20 books we sell through the IQ site, we donate one. IQ has donated more than 350 books (not a spot on the 200+ million of the Imagination Library, but we’d like to think that Dolly would approve!)

Happy Book Birthday to Citizen Zero, which turns 9 years old this month! 🎉 As author @man0words.bsky.social has often said... His books are meant to be dystopian *fiction*, ffs! Now, we're not saying that the Nexus bears an eerie similarity to IRL AI, but we're also not-*not* saying that, either...
Citizen Zero presents a thrilling amalgam of The Matrix and V for Vendetta, with a twist of I, Daniel Blake... Get the novel from Inspired Quill in paperback and digital editions... www.inspired-quill.com/product/citi... #BookSky #cyberpunk #fiction #scifi #dystopia @inspiredquill.bsky.social
We're more than halfway through 2026, and for someone who reads as much as Dorothy, it's high praise indeed when she already has a 'favourite book so far' in mind! Do you agree with her? What's your fave read so far this year? (IQ books don't count, we already know they're awesome. 😉) #BookSky

With infinite thanks to artist Marco Pennacchietti for the gorgeous cover, and to @dorothywinsor.bsky.social for trusting IQ to republish this fantastic piece of YA Fantasy. You can even grab it directly from the IQ (yes, even as an eBook!)
