I feel this would be a good way to clarify why/how I follow some people and sometimes I unfollow them. For my self if not for anyone else!

Because I take confidentiality very seriously, I never share who sells me books, who buys them, or what I learn about people from their books.
But.
Right now, I am SO tempted to make a tiny exception.
I have acquired some books that have some handwritten annotations...

I come to you today to introduce ‘Shadow of the #Minotaur’
I’ve never related to a book/myth lover nor felt so absolutely terrified for a character as uneasily yet perfectly as Phoenix.
The #cover, blurb and chapter 3 and 6 are below (there are many one-page sinister chapters)

if it was really important, they'd barge in at 2am, soaked from the rain, out of breath with an arrow in their back going "I... didn't know where else to go" before collapsing on my floor.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.
Enough to power 23 million homes!
U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

I am wondering : is there a world where people don't have conversations / negociations with their brain on a daily basis ? (I know I do, like now, where I'm on the edge of being late but my brain tells me it's soooo much more important to comment on this post than getting ready)

"In the solitude of a book, we find ourselves a little more willing to be vulnerable to having our mindset challenged." - Nick Raines
The main difference between people who want to ban books and me:
They would feel threatened by that quote.
I feel *energized* by it.
