This is your Black Friday reminder that actual book shops can't afford to discount like Amazon and supermarkets do. If you can, get full price books but also a full heart.

A brown old vellum book in a colden cabinet

Yesterday I got to lay eyes on the one and only Codex Regius Poetic Edda.

This little book is by far the most valuable book in Iceland, and arguably for the whole of Northern Europe. It was written during the 1270s and it is the sole source of so much that we know about Norse Mythology.

I am so jealous!!! 😍😍😍😍

I mean, it's all one big story, right? 🤣 #slightlycheating

The Fated Sky (Tor Books — August 21, 2018) Continuing the grand sweep of alternate history laid out in The Calculating Stars, The Fated Sky looks forward to 1961, when mankind is well-estab…

“Politics is what comes out the asshole, wouldn’t you rather be upfront feeding the horse” -

Logan Roy

If you've not read this, folks, you really should!

Criminally underrated 📚💙

I'll swap you 😆

A picture of a spider in a web with the following text: Your daemon would take the form of an arachnid! Those who have arachnid daemons are both gentle and strong people who are perfectionists in all they do. They are quiet individuals who hold themselves to their own standards, unafraid of change and willing to start over if something in their life isn't working out quite right.

I was not expecting mine either 🤣

The cover of Scepticism Inc by Bo Fowler. Features a large black question mark on a background of a bright blue but cloudy sky, with the title and author name in between the question mark and the dot of the mark
