Shrimps and Sink Pits.
Book Review for “Seascraper” by Benjamin Wood. Summary: "Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach and scrape for shrimp, spending the afternoon selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and scum, pining for Joan Wyeth down the street, and rehearsing songs on his guitar.

Day 25 of #NovellasInNovember is Tove Jansson’s MOOMINLAND MIDWINTER, which sees Moomintroll unable to get back to sleep after waking up from hibernation. Adventures with Little My, Sorry-oo, and Hemulen ensue. Arguably one of Jansson’s most elegiac books #BookSky #Reading

Book review: Hard to be a God
MY VERDICT: A powerful meditation on progress, power, and the role of intellectuals that feels frighteningly relevant today.

Happy blogiversary to one of my dearest nerdiest friends! 🎉
Today is the 10th anniversary of me launching There's Always Room For One More. TEN YEARS. I might rewatch Grosse Point Blank tonight, but first: come find out how our reading tastes compare as I share 40 favourites that are standing the test of time
10 years, man. 10 YEARS
Today is the tenth anniversary of me becoming a book blogger and launching There's Always Room For One More. TEN YEARS. There's a lot of Grosse Point Blank vibes today, without the assassinations. I copied across a lot of older reviews from LiveJournal and LibraryThing, but this is the big day for this blog. I'm surprised and delighted and proud to still be here, however inconsistently, and hugely grateful to my regular readers and bookfriends who have made this such a rewarding hobby.
