So I didn't receive any Valentines bookmail from publishers 😓

This means I can buy myself a bookish treat, right? (Suggestions welcome!) 😇

Still feeling crazy low, missing my kitty beyond words. Hiding in books.

Suddenly I get a NetGalley widget for this beauty. Thankyou SO much @hodderbooks.bsky.social - this brought on some happy tears! Book medicine in action ❤️📚

I'm reading so many indie eARCs right now - and the REALLY good ones are getting bought as physical editions. Because they're genuinely great and deserve to be on more shelves.

Watch my socials for reviews and pictures in due course! ❤️📚

Remember when we used to bind criminal trial papers in the skin of the guilty perpetrators? Good times. Anyway—

Still feeling lost in grief. But I've found a book with a cat pirate, so that's helping.

I'm not doing Words very well atm. Taking time with other people's.

Sometimes I enjoy a book so much, the eARC just doesn't cut it. I'll be grabbing a paperback this week. Another cracking yarn from Brennan ❤️👏🏻 @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social @brennanlafaro.bsky.social

What if Salem’s Lot but with a sprinkle of Dawn of the Dead and just a smidge of dark magic?

THE DENIZENS. That’s what.

News from the edge of the visible universe:

JWST has confirmed this galaxy, MoM-z14, as the most distant one yet studied. We're seeing it as it was 13.5 billion years ago, 98% of the way back to the beginning of time.

(MoM stands for "miracle or mirage.") 🧪🔭

science.nasa.gov/missions/web...
The galaxy designated MoM-z14 is currently the farthest galaxy ever detected, spotted by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and confirmed spectroscopically with its NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument. Through Webb, we are seeing this galaxy as it appeared in the distant past, only 280 million years after the universe began in the big bang. Its light has traveled through space for more than 13 billion years to reach us. Like some other galaxies Webb has discovered in the early universe, MoM-z14 is brighter, more compact, and more chemically enriched than astronomers expected to find in this early era. While it may pass out of record books quickly as the farthest galaxy, MoM-z14 will still play a role in helping astronomers and theorists reach new understanding of the earliest chapters in the universe’s story.
