New! Out in October! Dark Reading Matter : The Last Thursday Next novel by Jasper Fforde The final novel in the highly acclaimed and beloved Thursday Next series. Will Thursday find her happy ending? Swindon-based Literary Detective Thursday Next is embarking on her eighth and final adventure: 'Dark Reading Matter' and she is well aware of the fact. The problem is, others are too. Old foes and new are plotting a terrible revenge: To disrupt the narrative and make Dark Reading Matter not just unreadable but unpublishable. Thursday can't let that happen and needs to use all her guile and narrative trickery to unmask the antagonists and guide the series to a satisfactory conclusion. It won't be easy. The Martians have broken out of their HG Wells novel and threaten both the real world and the Bookworld. Agents from a higher reality want unfettered access to the Dark Reading Matter, the realm where deleted books and unrealised literary ideas end up. A Gateway to Hell has opened up at Wantage's Shakesmania, the nation's second to worst Shakespeare theme park and the cosy world of Enid Blyton has been hi-jacked by Ultra Right Wing Nationalists. With Reality Field Distortion experiments going haywire, a partially redacted donkey, a Bookworld on the brink of losing its imaginative energy to Big Tech and a murderous stamp collector with Philaticide on their mind, Thursday has to navigate a tightrope of borderline unusable narrative devices to bring the series to a satisfactory conclusion. It's a tall order, but Thursday has a secret weapon: Her own adaptability, her husband Landen, a host of stalwart friends and ultimately the most loyal compatriots she can call upon: Her readers.

Het was een geweldige dag ondanks dat de dag begon met ingestorte tenten op het erf door de heftige regen vannacht. Maar we lieten ons niet uit het veld slaan en braken de ingestorte tent af en maakten er het beste van. Ondanks de heftige regen tot 14:00u. stroomden de mensen binnen. En wat was het gezellig en hebben we weer leuke mensen ontmoet en geweldige gesprekken gevoerd. De lootjes voor de loterij waren zowel in de ochtend al in de middag volledig uitverkocht en de prachtige prijzen vlogen eruit! Al met al weer een supergezellige Open Dag! Dankjewel lieve bezoekers om deze dag ondanks de heftige regen weer tot een succes te maken! All for the Donkeys! 🥰 #LaVieEstBelle ... ongeacht wat #OpenDag #Gezelligheid #WeerBeter

Faleceu aos 85 anos o ator de voz Peter Cullen, a lendária voz do Optimus Prime e do Ió, dois personagens que ele interpretou durante toda a carreira, os fazendo em praticamente todas as obras nas quais aparecem. No mundo dos games, ele já foi o Mario na animação de Donkey Kong (1983), participou do desenho Pac-Man (1982) e reprisou Optimus e Ió em dezenas de jogos. #PeterCullen #OptimustPrime #DesenhosAnimados

U južnoj Kataloniji, neprofitna organizacija Tivissa Donkey Firefighters koristi magarce za prirodno uklanjanje suhe vegetacije koja potiče šumske požare, što se pokazalo kao jeftinija i učinkovitija metoda od mehaničkog uklanjanja, iako sama po sebi ne može potpuno spriječiti požare. #Španjolska #požari #magarci

U Španjolskoj, gdje su požari ove godine zahvatili više od 97.000 hektara, neprofitna udruga Tivissa Donkey Firefighters koristi magarce za očišćavanje lako zapaljive vegetacije, stvarajući prirodne barijere koje usporavaju širenje požara, čime se istovremeno pomaže i zlostavljanim životinjama. #šumskiPožari #magarci #španjolska
