  6. Picture books are a great way for children to learn about difficult subjects through shared reading with parents or teachers. Looking forward to getting hold of the new #TomPalmer book for the school library #kidlit #iamreading

  7. Finished this. A hoot, even in translation. If you understand German politics and media from the last 40 years better than me, it'll be even funnier. #LookWhosBack #ErIstWiederDa #IAmReading #AmReading #bookstodon

  12. Dear #bookstodon-friends, I've been thinking about doing some sharepic-style mini-reviews of books (mostly #horror/ #suspense/ #litfic) that I've been reading - I tried by best with the tools available on my phone and this is the result. Pretty enough? Sufficient info? Anything else I should/could add? #frauenlesen #iamreading @bookstodon

  13. My gods, this book!

    "Embrace diversity.
    Unite--
    Or be divided,
    robbed,
    ruled,
    killed
    By those who see you as prey.
    Embrace diversity
    Or be destroyed."

  18. I am on page 21 of Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler), and I am stunned.

    It's like she's right here talking about today's political personalities mismanaging todays problems.

  20. Superb new #kidlit book for 9+ beautifully covering the reality of 1940 rural Britain from the perspective of an 11 year old and her friends. Tom Palmer has once again matched thorough research and historical accuracy with accessible and relatable charactisation for children to engage with the past and bring the emotional reality of living in war to life. A definite recommend in the classroom. #angelofgrasmere #tompalmer #iamreading

  21. @bookstodon Normal Rules Don't Apply, by #KateAtkinson, is such a satisfying read. I casually picked it up last evening and devoured the whole thing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    My #BookReview:

    This is an exceptional interconnected story collection. I picked it up because, Kate Atkinson, obvs. But the writing surprised me, and exceeded my already lofty expectations. It's wry, funny, twisty, dark, and very smartly written. Atkinson collides the world of folklore into the world of reality. You think you know how the stories are connected, but that's just on the surface. There's a deeper thread running through them, and it's deviously clever.

    The characters all experience life as a game of chance, a "choose your own adventure" based on every decision they make, or fail to make. The effects are not just individual, but rather they snowball into cosmic consequences for everyone.

    This is a treat. Highly recommend. #books #BooksWorthReading #IAmReading #bookstodon

    Oh my goodness, I just arrived here after getting hooked by #4 in this thread, and this one (#1) starts with, "Back to Barthes ...", so that's my afternoon sorted.
