This is simply an appreciation for all the authors I see here posting links to Bookshop or their local indie rather than AMZ. I see it. I note it. As a reader & as a buyer for an indie bookstore, it absolutely influences my buying decisions in your favor.

There are some acts that can never truly be forgiven. It's the height of WWII, and the Nazi forces are driving through Europe.

Housing people is cheaper than treating the effects of people being unhoused

Free school lunches are cheaper than the consequences of children being hungry

Free medical care is cheaper than the costs of people being sick

Universal Basic Income increases productivity and makes people happy
So weird how as soon as the pandemic started it became very immediately clear that things like socialized medicine and giving people money so children don’t starve actually work really well but now that it’s been a couple years we have to all pretend we didn’t notice that

Woke up thinking of “WolfWalkers”, a stunningly animated take on Irish werewolf mythology, and how Cartoon Saloon deserve for their movies to be as known as Ghibli’s.

Welcome Tamsin one time bookseller and now forging ahead as an #illustrator #ukkidlit
Hello! I'm here, with hedgehogs, merfolk, inky paintings and probably some biscuits. I've no idea how this thing works but I'm sure I'll fumble my way through it.

#KickedOut by #AMDassu will be published tomorrow by #OldBarnBooks. It’s an important and empathetic story for readers of 10+, definitely one for school librarians to add to collections! #UKkidlit
