About 150 people were sheltering in the Beit Lahiya building Israel bombed today. About 100 of them were killed in the attack. Whoever gave the order to bomb a building where sheltering civilians were gathered is a war criminal. Whoever carried out this patently unlawful order

I think I've contacted each author who has pledged to donate their books to Spellow Hub library, trashed by far-right rioters. If I've missed you, tweet me. If you'd still like to donate - the more bestsellers the better - tweet or DM me. #ReadingNotRioting

Born on this day in 1859, the founder of the feast, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (May 22, 1859 - July 7, 1930). Raise a glass today to the memory of the man who gave the world Sherlock Holmes, Professor George Edward Challenger, Brigadier Gerard and so very many hours of fine reading.
