So far the best book I have read this year is without a doubt The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social. Left me heartbroken and angry. It's not an easy read and it shouldn't be.
An instant classic.

A ★★★★ review of House (1977)
What a fucked up fever dream of a movie. Evil Dead comparisons are justified even if the vibe of the film couldn't be more different. Bizarrely brilliant throughout.

22/ Bring Her Back
I've never seen @dionisea.bsky.social react so viscerally to a horror film. Usually nothing phases her but this one really got under her skin.

A ★★★½ review of Bring Her Back (2025)
A little slow, but great concepts and some fantastic shots. Trails off a little towards the end but Sally Hawkins gives it her all throughout.

Terrible choice of movie as I was expecting loud, slasher action to stop me dozing off and instead got a series wonderful walks through the woods.

📽️ 115/ Parthenope

Evocative and enigmatic. The reviews suggest the film fails to achieve what it sets out to do for a wider audience but I find myself unable to justify a lower rating. Brought to mind Tinto Brass's Pap...

Listening to the @talkscaredpod.bsky.social episode about Weapons has made me realise that the film is absolutely saying something about school shootings.
It seems so unrealistic that the country isn't in uproar after all these kids go missing but that's exactly what happens after a school shouting

The first one that came to mind is the Monk and Robot series by @beckychb013.bsky.social

For me it would have to be @robinhobb.bsky.social's wonderful Farseer trilogy (and subsequent other books in the series).
Fitz and the Fool deserve the full HBO huge budget treatment.

If you could adapt any work of literature into a TV series (and you can only pick one), which would you pick and why?
We'll go first. Nalo Hopkinson's Midnight Robber. Seeing that world come to life with walls of Caribbean culture would be real fascinating to see on TV. So good.
Your turn!

When I read it years back I'd just started reading in English and I suppose I didn't connect with it on such a visceral level. Could have been the language barrier or could have been just the wrong time in my life, I don't know what it was but right now it is like discovering a whole new world.

I know my mum read to me as a child but I don't remember it and when she left it meant I was surrounded by people who have never voluntarily opened a book in their life.
