I love her writing and I love Rocky so very exciting about this one.

It is sensational and actually very easy to read. Was definitely a stand out for me.

Maybe I will have to give it a go … when I retire 😉

We could always hang around if we are free on a Monday and see who is around 😁

I would but I happen to have a lot of busy Mondays in August so probably best not.

I read Ducks, Newburyport a couple of years ago which is 1200 pages of one sentence and I adored it so you never know.

It is. I really liked it but not sure I fully understand it still now #devonbookhour

I love Portrait of the artist but can’t see myself ever tackling Ulysses… too daunting. Saying that I have just bought Septology by Jon Fosse which is 700 pages of very much stream of consciousness so who knows? 😁 #devonbookhour

That is a stunning novel. One of my favourite this year and the second one is also surprisingly good

Sorry I am late (standard) but I am here. I just finished I Who Have Not Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman and I am still slightly in shock. A great novel but a strange on at the same time. Anyone else read it? #devonbookhour

Morning. I am reading The Thing About December by Donal Ryan and listening to The Children’s Beach by Helen Garner

I am a nurse and well done the RCN. She is not who we are

This is the least surprising news I have heard today. Sounds totally right.

Happy Monday. Reading The Fate of Mary Rose by Caroline Blackwood and listening to Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler.

Book 79 of 2025: The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride. There is no doubt that McBride is one of the most talented writer around but she is also not for the fainthearted. This is a hugely traumatic novel which I found difficult at times but the beauty of the writing will carry you. #booksky 💙📚

He is an absolute 🔔 end who will say anything rather than take responsibility for his actions. 🤢

Reading Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors and listening to The Lesser Bohemians by Eimer McBride.

That was so unexpected and quite shocking. Why indeed not make it fiction?

I am so pleased as I was out in the sunshine anyway ☀️. Enjoy and maybe see you next week

I just read it and I must confess I did not love it. The story is great but I struggle with the style. Glad you enjoyed it.

Ooo no I have not read that one. I will look out for it. Thank you.

OMG … I am far too squeamish for a tattoo but if I ever did have one it would be the little prince related. Love it

So glad you loved it. It is beautiful.

Honestly and of course it is always always always men … 🤬

For the love of all that is holy, if you start following me and immediately send me a private message saying asking how I am I will block you. What is wrong with everyone?

This book totally surprised me. So beautiful and powerful… the ending is superb.

Ha ha between that and giving kids gender affirming surgery you guys are very busy 😂😂

She is an awful woman and this is really tragic. I remember her diatribe against NHS workers and how this made us all feel especially at the start when we had no idea if our lives were at risk every day. Awful awful.

Book 75 of 2025: Birding by Rose Ruane. This book was quite slow to start but in the end it was much more profound than I expected and I really enjoyed it. A poignant and warm look at the impact of the post #metoo movement on women of all ages. #booksky 📚💙

All of it well deserved I must say
