I have the audiobook of Blood Covenant by Alan Baxter on the go as well as the first volume of Mike Carey’s Lucifer comic series.

Cover of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, depicting a woman caught between neon lights, her face fracturing into reflections of itself. Beneath the title is a quote from Rachel Harrison calling the novel "Blissfully twisted and genuinely heartfelt."

Cover reveal day!

I'm thrilled to announce my new novel coming from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT

Alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what we become when our worst enemies are ourselves.

Light your skies, October 27th 🛸

The Library by Bella Osborne

I've just finished Strangerland by Monika Radojevic - really loved it, review coming soon!

Love to see it! I spot DDR, so: newish books confirmed.

Half way through The Spy In The Archive by @gordoncorera.bsky.social (excellent) and started to read Martin Esslin's The Theatre Of The Absurd which I first read bits of in 1976!

Finished “The Starving Saints” and switched to Lapvona cause I love a good medieval horror.

Didn’t anticipate both would feature cannibalism but here we are.

I just finished Lady Eve's Last Con by @rebeccafraimow.bsky.social - it's a witty and stylish delight about a con artist trying to fool a wealthy heir into marrying her on a swanky satellite base. Really fun!

Reading 'The Proof of my Innocence' by Jonathan Coe, reserving judgement so far, not my usual kind of thing but my mum sent it for my birthday🤔

Good morning!
I have a few going this week:

The Kingsport Metamorphosis: An Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook by Jonathan Green

Happy reading!

The Secret History, Donna Tartt

Book cover image, title in block capital red at the top on dun background, author name in small block capital white on black at the bottom. Main image of a silhouetted water tower and trees with birds flying around them against a red and white background

Enjoying Leepus: Dizzy by @jamiedelano.bsky.social of Hellblazer fame. In the ever-present tense of 'Inglund', and the dystopian aftermath of The Reduction, our hero fields unexpected challenges from nearly all remaining powers that be - to his friends, his home, possibly to his own identity...

Role Model by Rachel Reid (second run through these books)

or need to if public transport did what it was meant to

got to love public transport...

Happy birthday and I hope it all goes well for you 🫶

The second book of Pat Barker's 'Regeneration' trilogy - The Eye In The Door.

I'm in my 70s and enjoying rereading books I read many years ago.

Currently reading Matt Parker’s Love Triangle, about the life-changing magic of Trigonometry.

I’m reading MurderBimbo. It has been really good so far.

A drop of blood falling onto 2 distant figures in silhouette. “Pagans” in red text, “two cops, one killer, hundreds of gods”. Author James Alistair Henry

Good afternoon - been a bit slow, but changed last weeks pick to “Pagans” by James Alistair Henry - it had been on my TBR for a while and someone on here reminded me of it. Thanks for that …excellent read so far and enjoying very much
