Did I buy this book based entirely on its title? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Also yes. Do I feel like I'm being tricked into reading more body horror than I'm comfortable with this year? Hmmm... (see also: Heather Parry's Carrion Crow). @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @annedemarcken.com #booksky

1. Many here seem bemused by the anger and disappointment this government attracts. Please bear with me while I try to explain it. Let’s begin with Gaza. Starmer’s complicity is one of the major reasons so many people are disillusioned. rethinkingsecurityorguk.wpcomstaging.com/2025/10/07/i... 🧵

It feels like I'm not reading as much translation as I once did. This book is a great reminder to do so more often. #WomenInTranslation #booksky

I never read gothic fiction/horror, but this was so good! Finished it in two days, very glad that this was put on my radar by the Lecker podcast and that my local #library stocked a copy. #booksky

Can't really afford to buy books or travel at the moment so I've decided the next best thing to do is to borrow books about travel from my local library. Tip top reading to start the year ✨ #booksky @monisharajesh.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Damn - the first week of January isn't over yet and I'm pretty sure this will be my best book of 2026. Setting the bar high! #booksky

The 8 billionaires are: Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, Huang, Ballmer. Each one saw their wealth explode as a direct result of the massive and unsustainable AI bubble. Let's resolve to remember that when their bubble bursts all over working people in 2026. Happy New Year!

"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

Swifts have declined 70% since 1994. They fly from Africa to breed here, only to find we've blocked their nest sites. A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings. The construction industry lobbied Labour to block it. Biodiversity sustains life. Labour sustains economic power.

Please save this, read it, feel it. Shame on all those who do not see our children!!

Always a good day when my drink matches my book 🥂 @canongate.co.uk #booksky

As the predictable calls for “restraint by both sides” are rolled out by Western politicians and officials, let us be clear that Israel’s latest attack against Iran could not, and would not, have happened without the support that those same politicians. OPINION by Ibrahim Hewitt

If, like me, you've only ever eaten Chinese food in the West, this book will blow your mind. Fuchsia Dunlop does a brilliant job of explaining the exquisite intricacy of Chinese cuisine and its infinite declinations. An instant favourite, chuffed I could borrow this from my local library. #booksky

OMG this book 😭 #booksky

Unintended theme in the last 4 books I read: (too) bright things #booksky @faberbooks.bsky.social @canongate.co.uk

This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.

Drastic cuts to PIP will affect as many as 1 million disabled and ill people, pushing them into severe hardship, worsening physical and mental health, and isolation. There is no credible argument for pulling help from people shouldering the high costs of disability. Cruelty dressed up as reform.

Labour MPs saying “the clue is in the name” to justify benefit cuts is wildly disingenuous. It co-opts Labour’s history to imply all those that cannot physically labour are somehow excluded from the cause. Being pro-worker does not require being anti-unemployed or anti-disabled. It never did.

Palestine is a feminist issue. None of us is free until all of us are free.

"Palestinian women stand at the heart of the struggle for survival." The Palestinian Authority has urged on International Women’s Day that the international community take responsibility for ensuring protection for Palestinian women. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/95lc11

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law. There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.

I believe there's a time and mood for every book and while I don't tend to have dozens of unread books at home, I also don't feel bad about leaving some unread for a while, waiting for me to be in the right mood for them. #booksky
