Would much prefer to read books than be force-fed updates on the Orange Narcissist so it's time to say goodbye to Twitter.

Join us at this event. Our talk is called 'A Tale of Two Comics'.

"The rise of crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter has made it much easier for independent creators to produce professional books and get them in the hands of readers without the need for the backing of a big commercial publisher." theguardian.com/books/2022/nov…

"It's my belief that a rich, spontaneous joy lies at the root of all creative expression. What is originality, after all, but the shape that results from the natural impulse to communicate to others that feeling of freedom, that unconstrained joy" Murakami theguardian.com/books/2022/nov…

Basford, Aspley and Radford libraries are safe...for now. Well done, Nottingham library campaigners. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

"A new report has recommended that the government support and modernise libraries because they are “an important part of a community’s infrastructure”, especially for those who “are digitally excluded or who live in deprived neighbourhoods”. theguardian.com/books/2022/nov…

Great name for a bookshop and bonus points for the hand-painted sign. The ever-so-lovely 'Worm Books' in Schull, Co. Cork. The nearby 'Little Way Shop' is full of many things you never realised you wanted...

BBC News - Coventry library book returned 84 years late: "If the library's current fine rate of 25p per day had been applied, the fee for the late return would have been £7,673." bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Happiness looks like this...

"Can’t believe I’m writing this, but I wonder if this winter we’ll need ‘warm banks’, the equivalent of food banks where people who can’t afford heating are invited to spend their days, at no cost, with heating eg in libraries..." theguardian.com/books/2022/oct…

"If we're talking agoraphobia, we're talking books. I slip between their covers, lose myself in the turn of one page... Reading is a game of hide-and-seek....Ask me how I am and the answer will depend on the book I am reading. On the sentence I am being fed." Graham Caveney.

Tempting reasons to return that late loaned book... theguardian.com/books/2022/sep…

Now open! Audiences are loving Adrian Scarborough and Sophie Thompson in The Clothes They Stood up In, an adaptation of Alan Bennett’s hilarious story. ‘We’ve never laughed so much at the theatre’

Some very appropriate reading at the moment.

What a great idea! 📚📖
