I went sleep way too late and it’s all @iszi.com fault. I picked up my kids copy of her book The Cursed Tomb thinking I would just have a quick look. At 1:40am I finally put it down having devoured it cover to cover!

@iszi.com's hilarious new historical fiction title, The Domesday Cows, is Children's #IndieBookoftheMonth! Chosen by independent booksellers, it's available to buy from bookshops and online at bookshop.org. #ChooseBookshops 🐮 Happy Moo Year!

A red and blue banner with a colourful book cover on it, and the words Children's Indie book of the month, and logos for Books are my bag, go all in, bokshop.org, and a hashtag for indie book of the month. The book cover is for The Domesday Cows and has medieval-style imagery of a girl in archaic dress running in front of a red banner. A light brown cow hangs on to the pole the banner is displayed upon. Text on a blue and red background branded with children's indie book of the month logos reads: When you visit a new town, find its independent bookshop. It's often tucked between the big chains or hidden down a twisty alleyway. No two are ever alike. From the events they host to the teas they brew, every detail reflects their community. Chat to the booksellers; there’s always a story behind the shop’s name, a reason that book’s in the window and a unique recommendation. When they come together, they are an unstoppable force, driving curiosity and inspiring readers of all ages. I’m delighted Domesday Cows is Indie Book of the Month! The bright medieval-style cover of the domesday cows is visible to the left. A young girl in archaic dress runs in the foreground while a worried-looking cow hangs over the book cover.

@davehone.bsky.social @iszi.com - Listened to an old Terrible Lizards 🦖 episode this morning, which mentioned Pablo Eskobear, of course it did. It sounded hilarious, so I had a Google. It turns out there's a film about him. Did you know this? What a way to start the day!

So we're slightly late to the party given that the big news dropped a month ago, but here's a full hour of the #TerribleLizards #Podcast where @iszi.com and I talk about #Nanotyrannus and what it all means for T. rex and tyrannosaur research going forwards. terriblelizards.libsyn.com/nanotyrannus

The biggest news in palaeontology this year dropped just in time for us to miss it with last month’s episode but we’re giving it the full hour this time. The idea that there’s a miniature tyrannosaur ...

As I got older I moved on, keeping only a mild interest. Enough to watch Walking with Dinosaurs and other documentaries but not much more. That was until this year, when I stumbled upon the fantasric #TerribleLizards podcast presented by @davehone.bsky.social and @iszi.com. I back in, in a big way.

A definite highlight of this year was the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival, getting to help run a the Palaeoart Workshops and Museum quarter was a joy. Thanks to @nataliajagielska.bsky.social for the trust and opportunity, @davehone.bsky.social and @iszi.com for being wonderful and very popular!! 🦖 🎨
