This might even be a link to it.

I liked this week's podcast version of Proud of the BBC. Not heard it in a while, and it's good to be reminded that we should still be proud in an age of Laura K, Garage enablement and Question Time.

@aptshadow.bsky.social rather to my surprise, my seven year old daughter has changed her mind about what book to have for a bedtime story. How to train your dragon has been abandoned, she now wants Days of Shattered Faith.

Ok look. Xbox wants me to verify my age. You'd honestly think that my setting up the account to play Fallout 3 would have given them everything they needed.

A whole bunch of #UKSFFBookBargains in the Kindle daily feed today, at least some of which will probably be on Kobo.
Thread follows. Quite why my feed does not include items with a link escapes me, if anyone can explain, please help.

This is true. For now anyhow.
I think i'm right about this.
But if you post something on here & somebody "likes" it, then nobody sees it except the person who sent the post.
I think that's the default. (I'm sure you can change it, but hey)
If you really do like something on here, repost it.
Likes are nice. But reposts rock.

Very well: 5 UK/IE Kindle copies of @aptshadow.bsky.social's *excellent* (fairly-)hard SF novek, Children of Time. I love it. You *must* have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one!
I don't do UK/IE giveaways as much, but this book is *so* good.

Notice that @aptshadow.bsky.social ’s Children of Time is 99p on kindle in the UK. If you have any interest in SF and haven’t read it, this is a no-brainer.

As well as the below in #UKSFFBookBargains there is a Geoffrey McGuire sequel to Wicked, which isn't for me, might be for you and the second Jean Auel Clan of the Cave bear books. Not certain that's really Fantasy, but there used to be reader overlap.
#UKSFFBookBargains has a daily deal of Exhalation by Ted Chiang. Sorry story collection, including art least one nominated for a Hugo. Don't think it won, but a talented craftsman.

A couple of them were put into "Hide" without my action

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
