My big take home from the Anarchist Bookfair yesterday was that most anarchists who dont teach in conventional schools see the word teacher and (perhaps rightly) think cop However there are many of us anarchist teachers out there trying to do better than the school system is built to allow and offer, often at great psychic cost, our students and colleagues glimpses of better alternatives to the current system from WITHIN the current system. Because, for the most part, thats where the people are. Its a constant daily battle and involves a lot of holding our noses and making compromises to balance our values with the antithetical demands of the job. But there are a lot of us out there trying to make a difference and struggling with the mental toll of it.
Thats what the book is about. And for those who are currently living it or who have lived it, it was a must-buy.
If you want it cheaper, and want a chat with me too, come get it from me in person at the Peterborough Radical Bookfair Oct 14th or Manchester & Salford Anarchist Bookfair Nov 4th

I Merciless Devil by Kylie Kent ( 2/Sons of Valentino). This bff drunk-Vegas marriage was just about a perfect mix of sexy & cute, but the MMC might be bull-headed.
Anyone remember
Well did you know, in 2012, a 29-page graphic novella was written by Terry Scott Taylor and illustrated by creator
It even came with a 19-track CD serving as the backdrop to the comic!

Picked up some weekend reads from my sorta local library.
I'm currently working my way through The Promised Neverland. I need to catch up with the anime too, but I've wanted to read the manga ever since I saw the first episode.
I'm also still making slow progress on Belladonna by Adalyn Grace. I've been listening to the audiobook, but I read better when I have the audiobook and physical text.
Did you know
actually has a 144-page graphic novel prequel.
Lovingly illustrated by the talented Chihiro Sakaida, you can find out more about it right here:
This is kinda crazy. I mean, I can download a pirated electronic copy (and it's even legal here), but I don't really want to read a whole on screen.

Just finished a really great that I highly recommend. If anyone's looking for an epic adventure, with and really smart evolutionary world building, check out Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Just to tease the main plot: what would a globe-spanning, technological society of jumping look like How would be different if ideas were heritable

Ive via Barbarian Mine by Ruby Dixon ( 4/Ice Planet Barbarians). First listen but Ive read b4. A true barbarian, Rukh is not part of the tribe & does not speak their language. Abduction fantasy.
I didn't see this one coming. I thought the series had finished, but no. We both very much like this series. Tackled by Jilly Cooper. Released 9 November. Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns!
Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated race-horse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club - a sport Rupert knows nothing about - so she can return to Rutshire with her football star husband.
Rupert's first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. But swayed by Bianca and Taggie, soon Rupert has signed the deal. As Searston's new owner, he won't stand for anything less than victory in the Premier League, despite the odds being stacked against him. With help from the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, Rupert sets out to mastermind Searston's rise to the top, starting with taking charge of the players - much to the fury of Searston's manager.
The rival football club and their corrupt dealings aren't going to make it easy for him either - and they have a history of foul play. Let the sabotage and scandal begin...

THE BULLET THAT MISSED
Richard Osman
The geriatric detective gang face unexpected consequences of how they solved their last mystery. Includes some of the enemies-turned-friends arcs that I like. There is one bit of "Knock the heroes unconscious, but they experience no long-term medical repercussions" that is my constant pet peeve. It seems especially galling when the heroes are 80+. Ah well, it's in good fun. I love hanging out with these low-key, smartass old folks.

DUST
Hugh Howey
After SHIFT, you might be surprised I read on to book 3, but the plot veered back to book 1's much more endearing characters. (Thankfully.) As usual, Howey isn't coy about doling the outlandish premise a definitive answer, even if the details strain credulity. (How long are canned vegetables still edible) There's a brief unnecessary digression into a sadistic apocalyptic cult that goes nowhere, but overall a satisfying conclusion.
SHIFT
Hugh Howey
Howey doesn't dawdle with a mystery. SHIFT lays bare the backstory of Silo's core premise. While those answers require *many* suspensions of disbelief, the greatest is that we're expected to have empathy for such a feeble, weak-willed protagonist. His milquetoast hand-wringing directly leads to the end of most life on Earth. Made even more inexplicable by the only two female characters being desperately in love with him Oy vey.
We are drowning in waste, but we can still save ourselves. A new book by journalist and activist Lucy Siegle reveals the shocking scale and impact of our global garbage problem. It also offers practical solutions and inspiring examples of how to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Murderer! No, but seriously I handle my book pretty roughly, but this is beyond even me
