I am enjoying an absolutely lovely coffee from the Costa Rican farm of Aquiares, with a really inspiring story behind it. They've basically built a town around this farm, where the labourers are treated as skilled workers and own their houses. Well worth a read: www.skylark.coffee/collections/...

Thanks tremendously Phil; please check out his thorough and superb review of The Worst Survive!
𝒫𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒫𝒶𝓇𝓀ℯ𝓇My review of The Worst Survive by @fantasticphil.bsky.social A mix of Judge Dredd, Mad Max and BladeRunner, this is a tale told by an idiot, a drunken one who holds the fate of the world in his trembling grasp! Spoiler - I LOVED IT!! www.patreon.com/SpotlightInd...

Amazon Sign-InSomething went wrong. Please sign-in another way or follow any instructions provided by your device.www.amazon.co.uk100% on all this. There's long been a race to the bottom in book pricing, and I'd add that it's in no small part been fed into by Amazon's royalty structure, which essentially capped indie prices at $9.99 for about 15 years.
Patrick Samphire 🏴Here's my argument: Self-published books are underpriced. The ebook versions, anyway. It's still not unusual to see a full-length self-published novel sold for $3.99 or even less. There might have been a time when this made sense. $3.99 bought you a lot more. 1/
The first three Blood Scouts books are now available on itch, finally got around to starting up my store there - in case anyone's looking for another place to buy them! rumian-productions.itch.io/however-many...
Yikes. When I was a kid, I read The Hobbit to my younger siblings. We all enjoyed it.
Lincoln MichelThe big literary discourse on twitter right now is whether The Hobbit—a children’s book that won children’s lit awards and was literally written for the author’s children—is appropriate reading for children or in fact such a difficult book most adults can’t “get their head around” it.
Thanks so much to Julia for this lovely review of my horrible book! Check it out!
