🎧📚 New Release...

I'm currently listening to 'A Case of Mice and Murder' by Sally Smith, narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies. 🐁

"A dead judge. A lawyer turned sleuth." 👨‍⚖️🤔

It's delightful! Review to follow soon!

The image us the book cover for A Case of Mice and Murder by Sally Smith. It features a London skyline in the background, a victorian archway with a gas light over the top, a knife and blood.

🌈 🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride month! 🌈 🏳️‍🌈
What's on your Pride reading list?
I've just started reading 'In Case You Read This' by Edward Underhill.
What else should I be reading? I'd love to find more positive young trans characters.

Fancy something quick and lighter than 'Possession'. Hope this fits the bill!

I know that I'm not the only one who's read Hidden Pictures.
What did you think of it? #HiddenPictures #BookSky 💙📚 #thriller #paranormal 📚👻 📚🔪
The picture is of the cover of Hidden Picures by Jason Rehulak. The background is red. There is text in crayon: "Every House has a Secret". There is a simple crayon picture of a house.

These are three books by women authors that I've enjoyed reading recently: 'Life Hacks for a Little Alien' by Alice Franklin, 'The Other Wife' by Jackie Thomas-Kennedy, and 'Weyward' by Emilia Hart.

Show me your kindle cover!

I desperately need a new one and am looking for inspiration.

Here is my current cover - I'm pretty sure that I can improve on this!

The photo shows the world's most boring kindle cover. It is grey fabric.

Back from Paris to reality this week, and finishing off 'A Moveable Feast'.
An easy non-fiction read which gives a glimpse of life for a broke writer in 1920s Paris.
Huge amounts of literary name-dropping!

I've just finished 'Babel' by R.F.Kuang. It absolutely lived up to all the hype!
Oxford is portrayed during an alternative Industrial Revolution and the Opium Wars. ⏳️📚💙
Perfect for fans of etymology and social history.
