This book is sublime and one I regularly recommend. The scene in the model village is comedy gold!

A very satisfying September on the reading front. Round up on its way...

September Summary and Settling In Well, it’s been a busy and dramatic month, and here I am with a new flat, a new hometown and lots of new friends and activities too. A quick glimpse into the room I used to consider my favour…

Finally a new blog post from me, despite still having no Internet at home

Blog tour poster for Icelandic crime novel A Letha Legacy by Guðrún Gúðlaugsdóttir (translated by Quentin Bates). The black and white cover image of the book, which is on the poster, shows two young girls - one with light hair, one dark - each holding a large doll. The landscape behind them is bleak and stony.

You were right. It did. 💔

#NewBookDay Absolutely loved #TheSongOfAchilles ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and have now started #Ithaca #ClaireNorth on the recommendation of a bookseller pal!

#Booksky 💙📚

#NewBookDay Yes, I know I should have read this by now but never one to follow the crowd!
#MadelineMiller #TheSongOfAchilles

Absolutely adored Seascraper ❤

Very mixed feelings about this one. Enjoyed some of the imagery and how Miller rooted us very firmly in this period, but confess to finding it a bit of a slog. Wasn't completely convinced by some characters and the dialogue seemed forced in parts. ⭐⭐⭐

This thread wins the internet today, it's absolute solid gold bonkers hilarity <doffs cap to the creator of this thread>

#BookSky 📚💙

Happy days!

Dear @thebookerprizes.com Please can we have a People's Choice award for Seascraper, as the support and love for this book is immense?
Yours,
Readers and booksellers across the UK.

#NewBookDay To assuage my grief of #Seascraper not being on the Booker shortlist, I'm reading this one, which may ease some of the disappointment!

Somewhat bemused that this book didn't make the Booker shortlist, so wanted to spread some additional love for this beautiful and quietly powerful read. ❤
