To Blackjack or to Baldwin, @michaeljecksauthor.bsky.social, that is the question...!
Two book covers. Left hand side, and man's head in chain mail - "Michael Jecks" and "The King Of Thieves". Right hand side, a man's Tudor bodice - "Michael Jecks" and "The Moorland Murders"

Thoroughly enjoyable couple of afternoons in the company of Nick Morris, thanks to @michaeljecksauthor.bsky.social A complex plot but written so it was easy to follow. Really evocative descriptions of Piacenza, characters you can visualise, and a lovely dry humour throughout.
Highly recommend!
Coffee table with a book on it - pale blue cover with an artist's palette, a fedora hat, and splash of ocre paint. At the top, in white capitals, "Michael Jecks"; at the bottom, in black capitals, "The Piazza Murders". There **may** also be a checky glass of prosecco on the table too...well, the book is set in Italy after all 😉

Please support her any way you can : via her bookshop.org page, by emailing/DMing her, or by popping in (- the coffee and cakes can now be highly recommended!).
And yes, I **may** have left with a souvenir or ten 🤭
Me and Les, the owner of the gorgeous Tell Tales books, standing by the window of her shop with the logo. The inside of the shop. Table cloth covered tables, with shelves full of books around the walls, underneath a light decorated with autumn leaves. A black dog chills on the floor by a sofa and a shelf of books. Two piles of books, five per pile, on a grey sofa against a yellow and a white cushion

Karma for @telltales.bsky.social doing the same thing to me today!
I was packing for upcoming hols, picked up my stack of Les-ordered holiday reading, and willpower failure happened. Five hours later not a thing has been packed but I can confirm that this is absolutely superbly brilliant!!
Book cover - "Pages & Co" by Anna James

A dreary, gloomy, windy Bank Holiday Sunday.
Thank goodness for @telltales.bsky.social!

When you've had a lovely long weekend away, and you get home feeling flat that it's all over...and you find a parcel of lovely books from the wonderful @telltales.bsky.social that cheers you up no end 😊
Three books : "Pages & Co" by Anna James; "The Lizzie and Belle Mysteries - Drama and Danger" by JT Williams and "The Outlaws Scarlett & Browne" by Jonathan Stroud

Bank Holiday Sunday sponsored by @telltales.bsky.social and the IPL.
A table in the foreground with a book - "Lockwood & Co - The Screaming Staircase" by Jonathan Stroud - and a glass of prosecco *; TV in the background showing a cricket match. *the glass is shamefully already half drunk!

(The cat, however, is far from impressed 🤭)
Book cover - blue background with a black labrador peeping up ftmrom the bottom; the words "More Than Just A Dog" in dark blue text. Behind the book, a white cat sits with her face turned away in disgust!

A lovely Thursday morning delivery from the fabulous @telltales.bsky.social
Some were found on her website but others I asked her to order for me. You can email or DM, and I promise you'll get the friendliest and most helpful reply...
**Whispers** You don't get that from Jeff!

Having taken me around New Zealand via Australia, including an enforced 48 hour delay in Auckland due to the Heathrow power outage, @telltales.bsky.social is hopefully going to entertain me on the way home (- with a little help from @tracyborman.bsky.social)

Quite intrigued by the two to the right...!

About to spend 22 hours in a tin can in the sky. Thank goodness @telltales.bsky.social was able to order me some in-flight entertainment!

Thank you, @telltales.bsky.social 🥰

My favourite series...
I have a literary crush on Sir Baldwin!
Book with a grey cover which has a coat of arms, with "MICHAEL JECKS" in red letters above it, "The Prophecy Of Death" in gold letters below, and "A Knights Templar Mystery" in red italics.

Have taken the Christmas decorations down, it's started to snow, so nothing else for it but to retire to the sofa with a glass of wine and my literary crush, Sir Baldwin...
Cheers @michaeljecks.bsky.social !
A glass of red wine, next to a grey book cover which has a coat of arms, with "MICHAEL JECKS" in red letters above it, "The Prophecy Of Death" in gold letters below, and "A Knights Templar Mystery" in red italics.

I had the most wonderful surprise from my husband on Christmas day. A @awatercolouraday.bsky.social original - this beautiful wren.
The posts here are stunning, but you don't appreciate the detail, colour, and delicacy of these birds until you see them for real.
I am thrilled beyond measure!

Spent a fabulous few hours in the company of the Fairway Players, courtesy of @janicehallett.bsky.social.
LOVED it! Made me chuckle, chortle, gasp, and I completely failed to work out whodunnit until it was it spelled out.
Highly highly recommended!
Background is a Christmas tree against a red-painted wall, with lots of fairy lights. Foreground is a book cover with a snow covered village scene and Christmas tree centre. Top has large capital italic letters - "The Christmas" in white with "Appeal" in red. Bottom has capitalised "Janice Hallett" in red italics.

Gosh the bots have been busy overnight.

Still reading Burke & Hare - finding it a bit heavy going tbh - but loving the final book in Kate Mosse's Joubert Family Chronicles.
Photo of two book covers side by side. The left one has a gold-bordered red cover with a grape vine growing from top to bottom, with two crossed swords at the root. White lettering "Kate Mosse" in white capital letters at the top, and "The Map Of Bones" in lower case below. The right one has the silhouette of two, one imagines shabbilly dressed men facing away from the reader, with "Burke & Hare" in large black letters at the top, and "Owen Dudley Edwards" in black letters at the bottom.

Hope you're on the mend soon.
As always, I've got a fiction and nonfiction on the go...

The left one has the silhouette of two, one imagines shabbilly dressed men facing away from the reader, with "Burke & Hare" in large black letters at the top, and "Owen Dudley Edwards" in black letters at the bottom. The right one had a dark bluey-grey imagine of two door knockers with hands holding the ring of the knocker, with the words "Preston & Child The Cabinet Of Curiosities" in white lettering at the bottom.

Lock screen thread.
A black collie dog - head, shoulders and front legs only - on the left hand side of the screen, looking forward. Ears pricked up, mouth slightly open showing tongue and teeth. A flowering rose behind him, with blue sky. He's standing on square slate slabs.

A white cat with tabby patches is lying on a blue and white patterned patchwork quilt. He is twisted on his side, white fluffy belly in the air, and his front right paw is over his face.
