My starter pack with Brilliant Authors of Bluesky has over 100 accounts in it now! It's a non-exhaustive list that I will continue to update to my own preferences:

Im so so sorry, I haven't got round to reading it yet via NetGalley. I spent some time in hospital and it's mucked everything up.

I just don't get it. It's outdoor swimming. It's done all over the world in mixed settings. What is suddenly the problem?

I loved that book!

What's happened? Or is it just *gestures at the world*?

Yes, but why would you want to? 🤢

In and out of hospital so disappointing total for me.

Women must look presentable, men are allowed to do whatever the fuck they like.

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 12d

I'm sure I will, I loved the previous ones!

I've just got Grapples of Wrath from NetGalley and I hope the sentence structure is slightly less bonkers than the above!

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 14d

Quick, someone get Ernie's Books and offer a partnership!

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 15d

I was agreeing with you that they have nothing to do with immigration

I've just finished binging The Newsreader series 3 on the BBC iPlayer and I cheered. It ends on the fall of the Berlin Wall which is doubly emotional for me but I just love Helen and Dale - so flawed and so human. Best character is of course powerhouse Noellene. 😍

I loved her as Anne Neville in The White Queen and Annie in Ten Pound Poms.

Is he doing that tantric Sting and Trudie stuff? I'd want a cup of tea after an hour.

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 22d

What now?

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 23d

Appletiser, green tea, orange juice, instant cappuccino, lemon squash. I live the high life.

Are there a lot of French people attending or are they just trying to be extra posh because everything sounds better en français?

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 23d

Whether it's made by an Italian or a Brit, it's always lasagne.

Beate H 💙📚🦔 @beate251.bsky.social · 26d

Yes! @netgalley.bsky.social delivered! 🚂❄️

Thank you to @themillyjohnson.bsky.social and @simonschusteruk.bsky.social !

Oh man. I loved that show. It was just the silliest fun!

I just finished @jennikeer.bsky.social's The Peculiar Incident at Thistlewick House and I'm blown away. If you loved The Ravenswood Witch, you will love this! Out 11 October.

Here's my review: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/8566...
