✨CHANGE OF SERIES: The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie 🗡️🔥😈
**[The Blade Itself](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/944073.The_Blade_Itself) (The First Law #1) by Joe Abercrombie**
📖 515 pages
Genre: Fantasy • Grimdark • Epic Fantasy
**Summary:**
In a world where heroes are rare and survival often means getting your hands dirty, *The Blade Itself* throws us headfirst into the brutal reality behind epic fantasy.
We follow a cast of unforgettable characters: a crippled torturer who hates his job, a barbarian trying (and mostly failing) to be a better man, a vain nobleman desperate to prove he’s more than a pretty face, and a dangerously clever wizard with plans far bigger than anyone suspects.
Joe Abercrombie flips traditional fantasy on its head—this is a story where victories are costly, morality is murky, and violence has consequences. Sharp dialogue, dark humor, and morally grey characters drive a gripping introduction to a world teetering on the edge of war. This isn’t about chosen ones—it’s about what people are willing to become when the blade is already drawn.
***
**Join the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Series Squad! 🗡️📚**
If you’ve ever wanted to start a fantasy series but didn’t want to go it alone, this is your crew. We read one book a month together—enough time to savor the story, debate the characters, and unpack the twists without the stress.
***
**How It Works:**
🪐 **Series Focus:** We’re starting a brand-new journey with *The First Law* trilogy. This month’s read is *The Blade Itself*, Book 1 of Joe Abercrombie’s gritty fantasy saga. New world, new characters, fresh start.
🙌 **No Pressure Zone:** Didn’t finish the book? No worries. Join us anyway—we’ll dive into themes, character arcs, favorite lines, shocking moments, and whether this is a series worth continuing together.
***
📍 **Join us at the Dog in Croydon on the 25th of February 2026 at 7:00 PM**
Grab a drink, sharpen your wits, and step into a world where magic is dangerous, heroes are flawed, and the line between good and evil is anything but clear.

Shut Up & Write!® in Angel, Islington, London
**HIYA**
We’re a supportive community, and I’m here to organise this Meetup space. I’m enjoying seeing it growing and becoming a regular place for people to get-together. I also invite likemindeded people with shared interests from society. I hope this develops into a fully fledged, shared, literacy lounging experience - wether I’m here or not!
**INTRODUCTION**
Join us for some focused coworking writing or reading time. All experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing and reading done and meeting other literacy enthusiasts.
**EARLY ARRIVALS** (around 6:45pm)
When you show up, find the Literacy Lounge area to the far right and settle in. Take some time to chat with your fellow writers before the start of the session if you like.
**START OF SESSION** (around 7pm)
I’ll set timers for our no-talking and focused writing sessions (write, break, write, end).
**END OF SESSION** (around 8:30pm)
Afterward, there’s time to hang out. Perhaps chat and get to know each each other. Everyone tends to talk about their successes and challenges as writers/readers or similar interesting topics. If we don’t have time to stick around, no worries! We’re here every week anyway!!
**CLOSURE** (before 9pm)
Pleasure ensure you’ve paid for your orders with the waiters. This venue requires everyone to leave by 9pm the latest.
**FORMAT**
A note about the format: We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers andd readers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft.
**VENUE**
This is a hybrid venue, with a restaurant, lounge, and outdoors seating. The seating has been strategically placed for inclusive social gatherings and for welcoming guests (please keep them positioned). It has an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, deserts, hot and cold beverages and alcohol - for you to purchase and enjoy during your stay. A waiter/waitress will come over to take our orders.
**LOCATION & TRAVEL**
Megan's is located within a commercial and residencial complex, with four portals to arrive and leave - two are located on Upper Street opposite St Mary's Church Yard, the other two are around the sides. This venue is just a few minuets walk from the nearest bus stop, and about 10 minutes walk from the main tube and train stations, which is located in between Angel, Highbury and Islington.
**PARKING YOUR CAR**
You can pay to park your car upto 6:30pm, although it’s free parking afterwards Monday-Friday: located on adjacent roads (make sure you read the signs for parking guidelines).
**INTERNET USAGE**
For the WiFi name/password: a Megan’s sign-in link will appear on your computer’s browser.
**ABOUT ME**
I create from lived experience—woven with threads of self-care, healing, and the quiet power of connection through talk, touch, and silence. I’m here to hold space and I try to greet each soul who enters, though I may not be able to linger with everyone - even though how much i’d love to get to knoww everyonee. Still, know you’re warmly welcomed.
See you soon!
With compliments,
Sara x

Everyone is welcome! That means every skill level, gender, sexuality etc. Just gotta be over 18!
No one gets upset if we miss a pass.... or the ball altogether! Skills vary from old semi-pro players all the way to never kicked a ball. We weren’t fibbing when we said inclusive.
Please bring a BLACK and WHITE tshirt. Please aim to arrive at 10:15 (ideally 10:15am to help out in the setting up) as we want to kickoff at 10:30.
(If you arrive late after kick off, you may have to wait around half hour for the next half).

Some important information:
• Age 18+
• Terrible Football meet-ups are extremely popular but unfortunately we have limited spaces. If you end up on the waiting list, please wait and see if a spot becomes available. We will have to check who has RSVP-ed if too many show up and will have to turn people away if they’re not on the list.
• Please show up on time! If you have RSVP-ed but don’t show up on time, we will have to give your spot to someone else! If you show up after we have started playing, and no one else has taken your spot, you might still be asked to sit the first half out in order to prevent confusion.

Queer Spirit Full Moon Imbolc Circle
Radical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London just before the Virgo full moon, the last full moon of winter!
This month we celebrate London's gay history - and specifically the spirit of the Mollies: 300 years ago London's queer subculture was already developing (and maybe had been for much longer). In February 1726 London's molly houses were raided, mollies arrested, tried and 3 men were sent to the gallows.
Mother Clap's molly house in Holborn was one of several establishments raided after an undercover surveillance operation by members of the Society for the Reformation of Manners, which had been exposing the existence of mollies since the start of the century - describing a scene that was already well formed: groups of men met regularly at molly ‘clubs’ where they used ‘maiden’ nicknames for one another, danced together, camped it up, sometimes dressed in drag on special ‘festival nights’, and had a specialized molly slang.
"Most of the sodomites convicted from 1698 through 1709 were entrapped due to the zeal of one man, Rev William Bray, the leading organizer of the Society for the Reformation of Manners. Most of the raids on molly houses through the 1720s were lead by six members of the Society who infiltrated the molly houses. The founding leaders of the Societies, such as Rev Bray, were dead by 1730, and due to a financial scandal the Societies formally disbanded in 1738. Relatively little is known about the queer subculture after that date: not because queers went underground, but because specific groups of moral reformers no longer worked actively to reveal them." Rictor Norton, A Critique of Social Constructionism and Postmodern Queer Theory, "Queer Subcultures," 24 October 2002, updated 19 June 2008 <[http://www.rictornorton.co.uk/social27.htm](http://www.rictornorton.co.uk/social27.htm?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMVJ1VUZJR1R1aFdRSzVYanNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7SsobcBWG67Bf1RdAuXPZ0xi6jsMd6mDmb932Wf9OAjUltFUCcDSNi6EUcIA_aem_7xebGXzZ_tJ_GtfA3zScoQ)>
You are invited to dress to express your Faerie or indeed your MOLLY spirit!
We gather from 7 to set up the space and cast circle around 8pm, then drum, dance and socialise through the evening.
There are lots of drums and percussion to use. you can also bring your own.
also welcome to bring snacks to share and your own liquid refreshments
donation requested to cover venue hire. £5/£10 as you can afford, cash on door or PayPal to [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMVJ1VUZJR1R1aFdRSzVYanNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6c84ENQfMCU7sPA0inMEWS5-VmzxHOqevR-gtWCoHZsBKOKN7q7uX2yoDrZQ_aem_pTBBSwXyCNNdE92ZMK0zpQ)

February's second Science Fiction & Fantasy meetup.
Would you enjoy a relaxed evening chatting about distant galaxies, epic quests, and everything in between? If so, we’d love to meet you.
Our next gathering takes place on **Saturday 28th February from 6pm** at **The Mad Hatter**, just by Blackfriars Bridge. Drop in, say hello, and join us for a drink.
We’re a long‑running group that’s been meeting since **1998**—long before meetup sites were wven a thing. Over the years we’ve done it all: celebrity meet‑and‑greets, convention trips, RPG campaigns, cinema outings, LARPs, and plenty more.
These pub nights are all about easygoing conversation and connecting with fellow Sci‑Fi and Fantasy fans. To help break the ice, we’ll be running a light‑hearted team quiz at **8.30pm**.
There’s no fee to attend—just pay for whatever food or drink you order at the venue.
