MASSIVE study by Cambridge University of over 10,000 adolescents showing children #readingforpleasure at an early age have better mental health, improved attention and less behavioural problems when they enter adolescence...

Oh wow. They keep doubling down on their yikes factor. 😬

English is widespread, but it's not the default language of 16 year olds! Monolingual English speakers have arguably the most dire need to be exposed to more languages... by *not* doing this.

... We aim to be understandable by 16 year olds. Sometimes Asian names can be confusing, so we have to be careful about using too many.

Huzzah! This is an intriguing little collection of stories (with SFF maps!)

[C Quinn (they/she/etc.) @C_Quinn_Books]

@NicoleCLindsay I both appreciate your clarification & wonder why it "needs" to matter. (like, I get that it's a rule but syntax shifts over time & the wrong way is still perfectly clear in communicating)

If *you* love a book with maps, take a stroll with The Dérive, an anthology of speculative psychogeography by @aanpress

Wowza!
I do love a book with maps...

Mapping worlds, poster illustration for @ClarionWest

This is my love letter to mapmaking, a tribute to maps as gateways to stories in different mediums—and to the writers and artists setting out to chart new worlds in new ways. We don't have to keep drawing the same maps!

@AmberlynWhite That the chemical mechanism of bioluminescence is the same across kingdoms of completely unrelated organisms, & they use it for a variety of purposes (attracting mates, prey, or *larger* predators to eat their own). Convergent evolution ftw.

[C Quinn (they/she/etc.) @C_Quinn_Books]

Love it!
