Winter has come. FatBrian’s neck has gone into hibernation.

I don’t mean to brag but you’ll never find me near a gym. And as it’s currently 0C, with no less than 7 layers. FatBrian isn’t for such content either.

Suspect by Robert Crais. Published in 2013. Currently has so many reservations at the library it’s not available until September 2028. I’m sure I’ve read it when it came out, but I’m curious as to why it’s so in demand at Wigan Libraries?

Octobers reads. There are also a load of books I’ve started but not yet finished. Quite a few re-reads this month as my brain has been in a bad bad place and needed the comfort of familiarity 📚💙⚡️ #booksky
