Yes I've succumbed to the hype as I spotted this in my local #library today. Squeezing it in between my #Booker challenge! #Yesteryear #BookSky💙📚
I bought books. Intrigued by all three of these ... @thebookerprizes.com #BookSky💙📚
Completely in love with this one already... #MarlonJames #TheDisappearers #amreading @thebookerprizes.com #BookSky💙📚
It's my birthday today. I will be taking no age-related questions at this time.🎉
And so my @thebookerprizes.com longlist reading begins! Already read a few of these so will reveal my final thoughts when I've read them all, but can exclusively reveal that one of them I disliked with every fibre of my being... 😂😂😂 Right, let's get reading... ❤📚
The man who totally inspired me as a child and instilled my passion for birds and wildlife. He will be very sadly missed. 😢 #RIPBill
Absolutely rubbish at predicting the @thebookerprizes.com longlist so let's just go with books I loved. Obviously would be thrilled if some of these make the list! 👏
#NewBookDay A phenomenally good series so know this will lift me out of my reading slump! @dougjohnstone.bsky.social @orendabooks.bsky.social #Skelfs #BookSky💙📚
I have conceded defeat in locating my copy of White River Crossing by #IanMcGuire which should have been in the Booker pile too!
The @thebookerprizes.com long list is coming soon! Would be thrilled if any of these make the list! #GraemeMacraeBurnet #DouglasStuart #MarlonJames #BrandonTaylor #PatmeenaSabit #YannMartel #RahulBattacharya #books #BookerPrize
A super summer publishing day! Feast your eyes on these brilliant books- all out now! #BookSky 💙📚
A priority purchase today. A rediscovered novel from the late, great #HenningMankell... #TheMadman @mountainleopard.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚 #books
Raven's June Reads. As it was #NationalCrimeReadingMonth and #PrideMonth I think I met the brief!
#NewBookDay Winner of the Edogawa Rampo Prize #MurderAtTheEndOfTheWorld #AkaneAraki A bizarre premise and pitch black humour. Loving it already! @pushkinpress.com
Getting the feeling that I am becoming addicted to these bijou and beautiful #BriefEncounters series from @vintagebooks.bsky.social . Such a wonderful collection of eclectic reads from across the years. Go and check them all out! #BookSky 💙📚
#NewBookDay Bit of a controversial pick this one due to his stance on using AI. Let's see... #JamesFrey #NextToHeaven #BookSky 💙📚
#CharityShop book haul. Have done very well this week and particularly thrilled with the hardbacks! #BookSky 💙📚
An enormous THANK YOU to @orionbooks.bsky.social for this very swish ARC of @ianrankin1.bsky.social #TheHeights Have rapidly moved to the pinnacle of the #TBR 😘
It's #EddieFlynn time! Only 40 pages in and already in OMG 😱mode. Love this series! ❤️ @stevecavanagh.bsky.social Big thanks to @headlinebooks.bsky.social for the ARC. #BookSky 💙📚
Happy #Pinnacle Publication Day @radiomukhers.bsky.social! Looking resplendent atop the Tower Of Mukherjee! #BookSky 💙📚

I bought some excellent books this week! @gretchenmcneil.bsky.social @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social #MaxFrancis @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social @ceejthemoment.bsky.social @tornightfire.bsky.social #BookSky 💙📚
Seeing as this series is so wildly popular at the moment, a bookseller chum has lent me their copy for a look see. 50 page trial has begun!
As it's #NationalCrimeReadingMonth and #PrideMonth🌈 my next read fits the brief perfectly! #RobertHoltom #AMorbidPassion (Thanks to @titanbooks.bsky.social for the ARC) #BookSky 💙📚
Wow! A perfectly executed standalone thriller. Read this in as much as a vacuum as you possibly can. For this reason I am assiduously avoiding any spoilers so you can have your own socks blown off too! A masterclass in crime writing from #ChrisCarter & an absolute ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ @simonschusteruk.bsky.social
Need to fill the gaping #HeatedRivalry void in your life? Look no further... #TheOpenEra @edwardschmit.bsky.social 🌈🎾❤️ #BookSky 💙📚
