“Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
Virginia Woolf, born 25th January 1882
Here's 9 of my most liked photos of 2024. I can't believe how @hullimages has taken off with over 15k followers across Instagram, X, and Bluesky. I just want to thank you all so much for following me and liking my posts. I wish you all a happy 2025.

Congratulations on surviving #TheGrimList2024🎖️😰
Despite over 100 posts, I will not have thanked everyone who should have been thanked and omitted some of the year’s most stunning contributions, so huge apologies for that 🙏🏻😔
Nevertheless, it’s a failure that also highlights the robust health of our little group and the values which hopefully keep folk joining in and connecting with each other.
I’ll now be spending some time catching up with your comments and kind contributions and you will be relieved to hear that I’m ceasing the heavy bombardment of your feeds until we approach New Year, so feel free to kick a footy around in ‘No Man’s Land’. 😉
I’ll take this opportunity then, to wish you all the happiest of times over the next few days along with my heartfelt thanks for keeping it all going … it’s still fun isn’t it 🥳
Best Regards
Tony @GrimArtGroup

How to Know a Crow by Candace Savage and Rachel Hudson from @GreystoneKids is an in-depth read and you will definitely be fascinated by crows by the time you finish reading. My review for @imaginecentre here:

I am really sad to hear that John Prescott has passed away.
John was a huge figure and personality, from his seafaring union days to the highest offices in Government.
I will be forever grateful for his personal and political support in the 2017 and 2019 elections. His endless warmth and iconic wit were loved on the campaign trail.
My deepest sympathies to John’s family at their loss. He will be greatly missed.
The children's book community on here is a group full of positivity and hope. This wonderful thread by @OctoberJonesCo is a shining example of what can be achieved.
