But what if I'm reading all comfy in my bed one night and get a craving for cheese, should I stop and get up and get cheese, that doesn't sound right 😜 😂

Post but Uni of Liverpool Library: This is not a bookmark.

Photo of an individually wrapped slice of cheese.

Fire on the Mountain by Terry Bisson

John Brown's body lies a-moldering in a very different grave in a very different North America.

I read a scary book and now I can't sleep. Turns out I have not changed much since I was 10! #bookstodon #BookMastodon

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books.

On the left, The Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush, showing a hardback with a two-tone black and blue cartoon illustration of a dinosaur peering into the window of an apartment building. This is a famous period engraving by Motty, published in 1886, that shows Iguanodon roaming the streets of 1880s Paris.

In the middle, Shaping Humanity, a black hardback showing a lifelike colour drawing of an ape looking directly at the viewer. The ape is reminiscent of an orangutan, except it has dark-brown to black skin and orange sclera surrounding its black pupils.

On the right, Rethinking Human Evolution, a black hardback showing a collage of fossil human skulls executed in a reddish-ochre colour.
