Book 26 of 2026 #FruitFly by #JoshSilver its absolutely great, I am also glad its been picked up for TV. Can’t wait for book club discussion! #BookSky #QueerBookSky
(Audio) book 25 of 2026 #TheOutrage by @whusseyauthor.bsky.social. This is a listen after having read it a while back and was worth it picked up on several new themes the second time around. #BookSky #QueerBookSky
Book 24 of 2026 #LuckyDay by @chucktingle.bsky.social, I am sure there will be an interesting discussion st book club. This is not normally the type of book I personally would pick so it was good for a change. #BookSky #QueerBookSky
(Audio) book 24 of 2026 #YearOfTheRat by @harryshukman.bsky.social. He also read the audiobook. Fascinating and frightening in equal measure. Really makes you wonder how much far right lobbying in going on particularly around thinly veiled #Eugenics #BookSky
(Audio) book 23 of 2026 is “A Rebel and a Traitor” by @rorycarroll72.bsky.social. Which tells the story of #RuairíDáithíMacEasmainn /#RogerCasement. Reads like fiction but is in fact well researched and written non-fiction. #BookSky #QueerBookSky #IrishHistory
Whilst Dublin several weeks ago #RogerCasement was mentioned several times & it was suggested that he may have been gay. Today I’m listening to book about him & in his diaries he described sex with lots of men & recorded penis sizes. Not so ambiguous #IrishHistory #QueerHistory #QueerIrishHistory
(Audio) book 22 of 2026 #NobodysGirl by #VirginiaRobertsGiuffre. How brave she was to share what had happened to her. It is clear there are many powerful people involved still not held to account. #BookSky
#SomethingRotten showing at the Manchester Opera House was so fun! Would recommend if you can get yourself down before its run end here!
Book 20 of 2026 #Atmosphere by @taylorjenkinsreid.bsky.social. I enjoyed this so much more than expected as I’m not really that interested in Space or NASA. Can’t wait to discuss it at book club #BookSky #QueerBookSky
(Audio) book 18 of 2026 Chavs - The demonisation of the Working Class by @owenjones.bsky.social. Cannot believe I’d not read it before now. If it doesn’t make you feel angry I don’t know what will.
First time having Portokalopita today even with my sweet tooth it was a little too sweet but polished it off.
My #PauseForMind Pompom is rather wonky mind need to give it another go! @mind.org.uk
Really enjoyed #SettingTheStage the #Eurovision exhibition at @mediamuseum.bsky.social more photos to follow but this one was particularly fun
Correcting the wrongs of #Eurovision 2015, #JusticeForAnnSophie enjoyed Setting the Stage: 70 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest @mediamuseum.bsky.social
(Audio) book 17 of 2026 Chaos by #PatriciaCornwell. This book really required a good overview of the previous ones so zooment recommend reading it as first in the series. #BookSky
Excellent brief article on the #StarHomes that have been trailed in #Tanzania they cost $8818, were allocated by lottery and resulted in 44% less malaria on the children living in them!
Book 16 of 2026 #Deviants by #SantanuBhattacharya, can’t wait to discuss at Book club in a few weeks #BookSky #QueerBookSky
I still find it really weird that somebody thought it was a good idea to name a coworking space Colony I get it probably referring to worker bees.
UK School Report 1983 by #TamJoseph currently on display at the @wellcomecollection.bsky.social it shows a black student moving through the education system from Good at Sports , to likes music to needs surveillance. A comment on the adultification of black children #Racism #RacismInUK
Book 15 of 2026 #Valencia by @michelletea.bsky.social, finished just in time for #BookClub. Some excellent prose in this. I think the other book club I’m in is going to read it too. #BookSky #QueerBookSky
(Audio) book 14 of 2026 The Palestine-Israeli Conflict: A Beginner's Guide By Dan Cohn-Sherbok and Dawoud El-Alami. Honestly parts of it read like a timeline on Wikipedia. The discussions at the end were more interesting and would’ve been better to be integrated throughout #BookSky
(Audio) book 13 of 2026 #MontmorencyReturns by #EleanorUpdale read the original 5 in school. It is fun how the historical events are woven into the narrative #BookSky #YAFiction
(Audio) book 12 of 2026 #DepravedHeart by #PatriciaCornwell book 23 of the #Scarpetta series #Booksky
#PeterRabbit is eating long scarlet short top radishes not carrots! Makes sense that he has a radish binge!
Book 11 of 2026 #GameChanger by @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social, felt naughty to watch the series before reading so I feel I must read this before reading #HeatedRivalry. #QueerBookSky #BookSky
After the recent stories re Marmalade and the U.K.- EU trade deal, I can’t stop looking at Marmalade and lo and behold here is Marmalade in the #LakeDistrict in the U.K. that already states what fruit it is made from #Brexit #Marmalade #EU
(Audio) book 10 of 2026 #YouDontHaveToBeMadToWorkHere by Dr. #BenjiWaterhouse. Two things that stuff with me nothing to do with psychiatry but the NHS - a queue in the canteen waiting for chips and teabags literally being padlocked away.
Book 9 of 2026 re-read of Fish's Clinical #Psychopathology: Signs and Symptoms in Psychiatry - 4th edition - I didn’t realise there was a 5th until I’d finished it. Useful especially with doing the #PresentStateExam training today.
