This is one of my Books To Buy in 2026 because who doesn’t love a mammoth? Anyway. Quite envious of @paulabooks.bsky.social for getting a sneaky peek copy.
Mammoth Rider is a breathtaking adventure full of warmth and courage. S J Poyton brings the beauty and the danger of the icy tundra to life in this tightly plotted story. Perfect for fans of Hannah Gold.
Thanks so much for the proof copy Sally Poyton.

Los libros de Kitty, de @paulabooks.bsky.social, tienen algo que los hacen diferentes de otros libros infantiles. Son preciosos, por sus ilustraciones, de Jenny Lovlie, pero también por la atmósfera hogareña, por esa ciudad que duerme mientras Kitty sale de aventura con sus amigos.

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...
