Book 3 of the year: Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney. Absolute page turner, story drew me in, writing and plot was great. Until it wasn’t. The twist didn’t land for me but I know tons of others loved it

Spotted this in Leeds last night. I was initially confused until it twigged. Someone at Everyman is *very* pleased with themselves.

Also picked up the signed indie bookshop edition of @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social's fabulous Quantum of Menace from @bforbutterflybooks.bsky.social . Q is out of MI6, but has his own mystery to solve. A must for any #JamesBond fan!

Super excited to get an email about Jennie Godfrey's new book being up on NetGalley, especially when it started with "you're invited to..."
Alas, it was just part of the blurb! Requested, with fingers and toes crossed!
