Sunday reading. Giving my brain a day off with The Hunter by Tana French. Mart, as usual, is philosophising: ‘That’s disco behaviour, is what that is. That’s what you get when there’s women in. They oughta have pubs of their own, so they can have their pint in peace..." #booksky
Thanks to the @clarkeaward.bsky.social Submissions list! Without it I'm not sure I wouldn't have encountered A Line You Have Traced @roisinmcd.bsky.social and it has turned out to be the loveliest surprise 💜
I was googling to see what shortlists/longlists The Book of Records had made so when I found the Ondaatje I also found this. I'd never heard of it and again it's a lovely selection
I've been listening to this glorious, funny novella, MAGNIFICENTLY narrated by Moira Quirk and someone needs to make Tamsyn a very big offer to get it published again (currently £538 for the hardback) #booksky #tamsynmuir
Morning Womble, I've got about 50 pages left of Bianca Torres is Afraid of Everything, a YA comedy/mystery with a brilliant nonbinary lesbian protagonist and then I'm going to lie around in the sun with Caitlin Starling's new book The Starving Saints. Enjoy your day with Helen Marshall! 🌞🛸
Morning Womble, I'm reading The Coin by Yasmin Zaher. Hope you have a good day 🌳🌻
Morning Womble! I'm reading The Etched City by K. J. Bishop so I can listen to the latest Starship Alexandria podcast. The first section made me think of Sam Peckinpah films and then the next part in the city has me all discombobulated. It's great 😁 Have a fab day of reading! 🌻🚀💜
Love this! It reminded me of a spring display I did without really understanding what I was creating: it became a weird concoction of a (my) disturbed mind(!?) - part Klimt, part Aliya Whiteley & part Wizard of Oz. I added a quote in the sky: “I could while away the hours, talking to the flowers”
Morning Womble, I'm reading Exhalation for the first time(!) and alternating stories with chapters of The Clinking by Susie Greenhill. 🌻🚀☀️
I love a pre-ordered book that arrives on my ereader overnight. Happy publication day to The Starving Saints @caitlinstarling.com "medieval horror" & "bacchanalian madness" - yes please! 💜 #booksky #reading
Morning Womble, I'm finally reading C. L. Clark's The Unbroken. Hope you have a good day 💜
Woodworking @emilystjams.bsky.social is one of my fave books of '25: life-giving, funny, exuberant. At times incredibly sad & rage-inducing - requiring us to confront injustice & cruelty. I LOVED it: its characters, confident structure & moments of the uncanny. Read it, share it 💜🩷🩵 #booksky #lgbtq+
Finished The Wilding @ianmcdonald.bsky.social - a fantastic folk horror adventure with brilliant characters, prose to die for(!) and the best use (& love) of Yeats I've encountered for some time. The contradictions inherent in nature v human are judged perfectly 💚 #booksky #lovereading
Love it when preorders arrive on my e-reader overnight! Happy book birthday to The Incandescent @emilytesh.net and Red Sword by Bora Chung, translated @antonhur.com #booksky #lovereading
Released today and has arrived on my eReader! Looking forward to Every Version of You @gracechanwrites.bsky.social #booksky #lovereading
