Loved Bergen. The city is so pretty, the food is brilliant, and there is so much to see. I went worrying about the cold and came home planning my next winter break emminlondon.com/2024/01/a-wint… #Norway #Bergen #Travel #Blogger #Photography #VisitBergen #VisitNorway

@FXTWO Yes! I tried to put that in my tweet but ran out of space. The full review goes more deeply into the mindblowing stupidity of the script!

@mandyist Plus logic, Mandy. Had very little of it. Use of AI marks it down even further for me.

After too long away, I'm finally back to writing about horror this week. In order of how much I loved them: 1/4 #Horror #GFF26 #FrightFest

3. 𝗕𝝤𝝢𝗘 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗘𝗥 (FrightFest Glasgow) ★★★☆☆ I didn't love this British creature feature and I'm not sure it was film fest material. Some great cinematography but loses points for lack of originality. 🔗 addictedtomedia.net/2026/03/fright… #Horror #FrightFest #GFF26 #GFF 4/4

2. 𝗗𝝤𝗟𝗟𝗬 ★★★★☆ What is horror? What scares us or makes us recoil? Dolly chooses revulsion. Rot. Filth. Disembodied doll parts. A grotesque, silent performance from Max the Impaler that keeps me up at night 🔗 addictedtomedia.net/2026/02/horror… #horror #maxtheimpaler 3/4

Ever wondered what happens to undeliverable letters? 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙡 turns that idea into a chilling 80s-set #horror packed with obsession, possession & synths addictedtomedia.net/2025/04/horror… #HorrorFam #HorrorJunkie #HorrorFanatic #HorrorMoviesAndChill #RetroHorror #Shudder

It's #HolocaustMemorialDay, the 76th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. To commemorate, I call on everybody to read, buy for their kids or recommend one book related to the Holocaust or other genocides (because #NeverAgain should mean just that). I'll go first (thread)

New cover and interior photos for the gift edition of Thunderpaws and the Tower of London – the Italian printing is fabulous!

@timofnewbury Come to Mastodon. Your positivity would be so welcome there

It's disappointing to see people leaving Twitter especially when I'm following them. Although much of my contribution is RTs of good stuff by others I also aim to provide unique content that is helpful, especially for Newbury area people. Let's keep Twitter as a positive place.

Good day to preorder my next book from @BNBuzz. Sale goes through the 19th. I know Yoyo doesn't LOOK that thrilled about it, but I promise she is. The book comes out in October from @PenguinTeen @PhilomelBooks Link: bit.ly/3Uo6nji

@ClaymoreZA @daverade I second arch support. Helps so much with knees and hips too!! I bought a brace I could sleep with that helped a lot and also do a minute of stair / calf stretch each side twice a day

While I felt good yesterday, today I can barely walk. Plantar Fasciitis reminding me who's boss.

Delighted for #ZNation but pretty please, for the love of zombies, bring back #BlackSummer

@Jane_the_pain I have it on pre-order. Cannot wait!!

I have all the 'launch-eve' feels 🤪😱😃🫣🤩

Out tomorrow, TOXXIC by @Jane_the_pain! This sequel to 2023's smash hit dystopian novel MOTHS sees a new vaccine released into a post-pandemic world... angryrobotbooks.my.canva.site/toxxic

@LaurenMcWoof @sarahreesbrenna [insert sad face here] today I learned, at the tender age of 50...

@sarahreesbrenna I pronounced "ennui" en-you-aye on a date once in the nineties. It still smarts.

I did that. I said tropez. At a HUGE event with a hugely bestselling author. I think it was filmed. I had to pass on my own shame. 😂 I was grown!

@kelsaroniandchz Stephen swears by frost-free fridges

I have to buy a refrigerator but I don't know how or what to look for! Who buys refrigerators??? I'm just a baby.

@O2ForumKTown Do you know the planned set times and curfew for Kaizers tonight?
