All the good men and all the gods, plus the streetwise Hercules who fights the rising odds. (Really, there is a lot of missing folk!)

Read Elena Ferrante’s “My Brilliant Friend” for work (supervising a thesis) and by the end I would describe myself as being reluctantly intrigued. Now in the middle of and enjoying much more “The Story Of A New Name” 💙📚 #Booksky #reading

I’d say 2-3 - if there’s more than than 3-4, I’d say it’s a style tic or the writer is using them as a crutch (e.g. asking the question to avoid staking a claim, or even to obscure the fact they they don’t have an answer but heh, never mind, look at this shiny rhetorical question! ⁉️ 👀)

#Reading Once Was Willem by M. R. Carey - took me a while to get into the world (medieval fantasy) but story has me hooked now. #BookSky 📚 💙

Following a strongly-worded recommendation (😆) I am just starting to read Tokarczuk’s “Drive your plough over the bones of the dead” 📚 💙 #BookSky #reading

I just had the pleasure of introducing my family to Col Brandon and the Dashwoods! Great Saturday Christmassy TV.
