I am starting a new Trollope in a few days and I am psyched!! (I’m ready the Barchester series in order, with other books between 2 volumes)

I can’t resist a book about/by #ballet dancers – and Karen Valby’s The Swans of Harlem is positively enlightening to boot

The event was terrific! Very spirited, tons of fun. And now my TBR pile is even more massive…

This one is still gloriously golden! But it’s started losing its leaves over the past few days. I’m thinking of pressing a few because they’re so beautiful

Terrific panel at the #VeniceNoir festival about how realistic murders are (and should be) in #crimefiction – featuring a legit British pathologist surrounded by lively, fiery novelists @annamazz.bsky.social @ianrankin1.bsky.social @tombenjamin.bsky.social

Like writers’ work, the work of professional translators has been pillaged by #AI companies to train #LLMmodels so it’s disheartening when a wonderful #bookfestival features an AI translator (with an awful output at that)… #VeniceNoir @annamazz.bsky.social @davidhewson.com

And my guilty pleasure is books about dance and dancers so this is perfect!

An appropriately eerie, foggy #Venice hosts the #VeniceNoir festival as of today – the Trial of Casanova panel was brilliant, both fun and thought provoking
