NEW REVIEW: Today’s review is the latest book from Tim Lebbon, Secret Lives of the Dead. An energetic fast paced thriller with elements of horror, which as usual when I read anything by Tim Lebbon, I really enjoyed.

An Unbreakable World, by @voidcricket.bsky.social (pub by @solarisbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent character driven space opera that has an intriguing worldbuilding in the background.

Joining the #blogtour for A Lethal Legacy by
Guðrún Gúðlaugsdóttir (trans by @graskeggur.bsky.social) from @corylusbooks.bsky.social). A death on a remote farm leads journalist Alma into a complex & almost Gothic affair. #BookSky #crime #Iceland 📚💙

Blog tour poster for Icelandic crime novel A Letha Legacy by Guðrún Gúðlaugsdóttir (translated by Quentin Bates). The black and white cover image of the book, which is on the poster, shows two young girls - one with light hair, one dark - each holding a large doll. The landscape behind them is bleak and stony.

I really dig chapter titles for a whole variety of reasons (some rational and some neurotic)

I do wonder how many people are like me vs how many think I’m crazy

Here are the ones from The Light Of Kasaban—mostly because it’s my only book short enough to all fit on one page 😂
