'Unfair Play - The Battle For Womens Sport' makes the case that this callous indifference to women in sport is the latest stage in a long history of sexism on the part of sport’s higher-ups & provides the facts, science & arguments that will help us ♀️ get the justice we deserve. Image
Sharron was part of @fairplaywomen's panel 'Defending Women's Sports' at #FiLiA2022, which you can read about here:

Don't remember who suggested this, but finally it's here & I'll share my thoughts

The Laws of Human Nature by @RobertGreene

#backtoreading #BooksWorthReading #books #reading #bookthread #Thread Image
"If only we understood the roots of human behaviour" @RobertGreene
in Laws of Human Nature

Do you think we would have more protection? Against falling down or being plowed over?

An interesting argument to understand our human nature before we as a race struggle to communicate

🧵We are getting ready to listen to @glosswitch talking to @soniasodha at @Womans_Place_UK online launch of #Hags #WPUKHags - very exciting!

#WomensHistoryMonth #readwomen #BookTwitter #IWD2023 #InternationalWomensDay #WorldBookDay #booktwt Image
Victoria @glosswitch is talking first about how she got the idea for #Hags and how 2020 was named the 'Year of the Karen' and it struck her that middle-aged women were being demonised #WPUKHags
She is also talking about #feminism in the 90s as a member of #GenerationX and how she had thought that her generation would be different to her mother's generation. But then realising that our feminist experiences are the same throughout #HERstory #WPUKHags

About me: I am a bestselling author who self-published my Aestus series and am now an SFWA member (and other achievements I’m v. proud of, thank God). I learned much of this by trial/error. Thx to those who have supported me!

It's the 10 Worst Bookstores of 2022! Sadly not all independent bookstores are friendly places to find your next fave read. Some run rampant with financial fraud, sex predators, bullying, abuse & illegally cheating workers out of their wages. #brokenbooksellers #xoxobooksellinggg Image
We're making #10 a tie between Boston's Trident Booksellers and Cafe and Denver's Tattered Cover. We received stories about exploiting workers and bullying from ex-workers at both stores. Image
Toronto chain Type Books is #9 for its abusive treatment of staff, and the owners' negligence. #booktwt #brokenbooksellers Image

I think romance novel tropes are tropes because of the inherent fantasy or wish fulfillment in them. Here are my guesses about the wish fulfillment in various tropes, but I'm hoping to hear other people's thoughts!
🧵
#RomanceBooks #ThursdayThoughts #booktwitter #Booktwt
Small Town Romance - the fantasy of a big emotional support network. (The secret sauce in Hallmark movies, though when I worked at Hallmark Channel I NEVER heard anyone say this.) Your BFF wants you to be happy. So does your mom. So do ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS!
#CountdownToChristmas
Small Town Romance is also just a validation for people who live in small towns and rural areas that are often overlooked or derided ("backwater," "flyover country," etc.).

You get inspired for a brief flash of time, then...
One draft. Coffee (or something stronger).

Self-doubt.

Rewrite the entire draft from scratch.

ANYBOOKS -Best Alternative 📚

If you are a book addict like me, it's no doubt that getting the best, yet free books library like the ANYBOOKS app has been difficult since they brought down their server. Good news, I've got an alternative for you. #BookTwitter

Open thread!
There are arguably 100s of book libraries out there, which are mostly tied to subscriptions or do not allow unlimited downloads. E.g, Chapter 1 is close to any book 📚 but is limited to 3 free downloads, and to access the unlimited library, one has to subscribe.
I mean, I would recommend Chapter 1, if you have money for subscription , max of 4k naira annually.

But, If you are in need of unlimited access to books and downloads and I do not mean "Gutenberg books", #booktwt
