Yes, that reading for pleasure can include oral, whether read to them, audio books or even a video of someone sharing a book. That it doesn't matter if its non-fiction or fiction, it's about finding pleasure in it.

Come on people, I will be checking up later. 😀
Tadpoles in November?

These little wrigglers were spotted on Dartmoor in a pond created for natural flood management under our RRC project. While they might overwinter, we think they’re more likely to become a winter snack for local wildlife!

Ethereal. Almost unreal. And yet somehow realer than almost anything you can imagine.

Aww, cute. 😍
My cape might not be big enough for me to disappear into the woodlands yet, but Boofle already fancies himself as a tree elf. #naturecrochet

Dick Dastardly's dog wasn't well so he borrowed another one. It wasn't *exactly* the same, but it was a proxy Muttley.

Just gasped audibly at "a spoonful of laughter"
What a lovely turn of phrase.

No idea. Series looks interesting though.
Can anyone who's read (as opposed to listened, like me) Brigands & Breadknives tell me how to spell the name of the city they're headed to?

The main improvement needed is to open the doors and release everyone held there. Same for every other one of these Nazi internment camps.
Bring everyone back to their families and lock the Nazis up instead.

If you’re on Twitter… well, don’t be on Twitter. Even his cars are infected with his AI. The world doesn’t need the influence of this pathetic, evil thing
The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Artwork for a book I am writing.
Slowly building up the adventuring party for "The Chosen One"
Two sketches of the mare, Conker, because the artist did a second sketch following feedback. Opinions welcome. Info in #AltText

Dear manufacturers
Please be more specific...
SPICE doesn't help.
Cloves make my throat close up.
Cinnamon makes my lips tingle.
Ginger is a different reaction.
(I think! They're often together, especially at Christmas.)

There is a difference.

Had a dream that I paid for an advert for Grandad Pigeon by Paul Gunning and somehow the link went to a new hardback edition of The House at Pooh Corner.
Who can I sue?

A new account with news about books and writing plans. Good work in progress (short stories/2 novels) + new editions of existing novels soon.

A break from socials gave me time to breathe… thought I’d stay away forever. But some sort of presence makes sense. #noteworthybooks #books #writing

Just want to say, my admiration for Dara O Briain was already about as high as it can go, but it just went up another notch. Just a personal thing , nothing in the news. 🙂

Vicious and cowardly. Mobs of terrorists in body armour assaulting innocent citizens exercising their right to peaceful protest.
Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

news.sky.com/story/the-x-... This is an excellent piece of work by the Sky News team which needs to be amplified. Not only our politicians but our journalists need to get off X. It was obvious to many of us much sooner. I hope @news.sky.com will feature their report heavily over the next week.
