I've just finished The Christmas Clue by Nicola Upson and started rereading You Are Here by David Nicholls.
02.03.2026 14:41 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Iβm about halfway through Mark Haddonβs latest, Leaving Home. I just finished Sarah Perryβs beautiful Death of an Ordinary Man. The memoirs describe complicated & familiar parent-child relationships & elder care situations, both (so far) are achingly honest & compassionate.

I have one big ask for all American authors, publicists and publishers.
Either stop using your silly way of writing dates or at least publish all of your books on the 13th or later of each month so I donβt miss the publication week by months.
Ooo a good pick! I'm currently reading Graft by @monstersandmaidens.bsky.social

Cover of the book βButcher's Follyβ (The Wrecking Squad Book 2) by Nick Snape

Audiobook edition of Doctor Sleep By Stephen King.
The Cold House by A.G. Slatter.
Good morning! Iβm halfway through Blood Child by Octavia Butler, and at the very end of my reread of Doctor Sleep on audio by Stephen King. About to start The Cold House by Angela Slatter as soon as I finish typing this! Happy Monday!

I finished King Sorrow and it is a hard act to follow, after starting two books I think I have settled on Great Eastern Hotel which seems substantial

Female figure hanging or climbing a rope up a cliff edge with a bird at the summit. βThe Impossible Thingβ by Belinda Bauer additional text βsheβll risk it all to stealβ
'A funny, moving and beautifully written tale Guardian A summer's evening in 1926, and six-year-old Celie Shepherd is hungry, desperate and dangling from a cliff, as she stretches out to steal something impossible. The bold theft will change Celie's life, and the lives of many others. One hundred years later, a remote home is ransacked by masked men. The only thing taken: a dusty box containing that same impossible thing. What could be so unique - and so valuable -that it is stolen again and again... and again?
Finished βspies & other godsβ last night. Good but not great, the office politics of spying was fun. A book subscription choice next (my first from @bertsbooks.bsky.social) - βThe impossible thingβ by Belinda Bauer. I know no more, so blurb on the back for reference - but looks interesting

Good morning Stephen. I'm currently finishing Paul McAuley's excellent SF thriller Fairyland and Ben Kane's Rome. I've just started something I'm hoping will be a bit of relaxing escapism, Mrs Spy by M.J. Robotham.

Now listening to book six in the After It Happened series.
Each book is only about 8 hours long so perfect for when youβre just pottering around or doing a short commute
Highly recommended if you like post apocalyptic shenanigans
