Do you prefer close up photos of birds, or more distant ones showing them in their environment?🤔
I will always photograph & share whatever I see, whether close or distant, but I wondered what you preferred?😊🐦

This is not a real person! There are THIRTY TWO books here that 'Andrew V. Smith' has shat out in the last year alone, all of which have AI-generated covers and most borrow or straight up rip off titles from other more popular (and more importantly: human) works like my own

To live a meaningful life in the modern age we need to be able to understand and reckon with our most primal instincts. And then try to rise above them to something better.

Oh this can just fuck off

An AI-'written' complete copy of my own book is now on Amazon; same title, more-or-less the same blurb, and exactly the same impetus.

Reviewers of Amazon, I urge you to absolutely dive-bomb this plagiaristic piece of shit: www.amazon.co.uk/FORGOTTEN-VI...

I have another #buyastrangerabook day offer for you lovely people.

@cloakyfat.bsky.social has bought a copy of "The Machine Gunners" by Robert Westall for me to give away.

An absolute classic!

If you'd like a copy, just get in touch.

UK only.
Celebrate 50 years of adventure in Carnegie Medal-winner Robert Westall's compelling first novel for children set during World War Two, with a powerful introduction by Michael Morpurgo. 'Fifty Years on this remains the greatest WW2 novel ever penned.' Phil EarleChas McGill has the second-best collection of war souvenirs in Garmouth but wants it to be the best. When he stumbles across the wreckage of a downed German bomber, he finds the ultimate trophy – a working machine gun. Hiding his discovery from the local police, Chas recruits his friends and together they build a fortress for their prize. But war is not a game and soon both friendships and loyalties are tested when the gang's actions have dangerous consequences. Robert Westall wrote The Machine Gunners for his son, Christopher, based on his own experiences during the Second World War. A modern classic of children's fiction, it went on to win the CILIP Carnegie Medal in 1975 and has been in print ever since.

If you are on Facebook or instagram (this does not work on bluesky, sadly) there is an easy and free way you can donate money to New England animal shelters right now! Just post a photo of your pet with the hashtag #SNELovesPets. That's it. Subaru of New England does this every October. 💵
Screenshot of text that says "This October you can help animal shelters in New England raise thousands of dollars just by posting a picture of your pet! Something we all love to do anyway! Every October Subaru of New England has their hashtag s n e Loves Pets campaign. During the whole month, every time someone posts a pet photo with the s n e loves pets hashtag , Subaru of New England will donate $10 (up to $75,000) to twelve New England animal shelters, including my local Vermont shelter the humane society of Chittenden County. Please share your love of your pet and help shelter animals by posting photos of your little friends with the hashtag s n e loves pets this month! photo of my one-eyed black and white tuxedo cat marcel lying on his side on a beige velvet blanket, looking thoughtfully into the distance.

It's #buyastrangerabook day and here's an offer from
@sarahalba.bsky.social

Sarah is offering to buy someone a copy of Needfire by MK Hardy

Check out the description and get in touch if you'd like a copy.

UK only
Norah seeks a fresh start in the halls of Corrain House. What she finds are dark secrets that will haunt her every step. You are afraid of the border places. You are afraid of the fork in the road. Fleeing her mistakes in Glasgow for a marriage of convenience, Norah Mackenzie's new home on an estate far in the north of Scotland is a chance for freedom, a fresh start. But in the dim corridors of Corrain House, something is very wrong. Despite their warm correspondence, her distant, melancholic husband does not seem to know her. She is plagued by ghost ships on the sea, spectres at the corner of her eye, by winding, grasping roots. Her only possible companion, the housekeeper Agnes Gunn, is by turns unnerving and alluring, and harbours uncanny secrets of her own. As the foundations crumble beneath her feet, Norah must uncover the truth about Corrain House, her husband, Agnes, and herself, if she is to find the freedom she has been chasing.
