Read this one again last week. I still love that Agent Roach scene!

Sharing this. I also put a post out on Threads because I had heard bookshops were suffering and wanted to try to support them. So now there's a whole load of tags and links to those on the ground who need our help! You can find them in the replies here:

Absolutely. The guy just wants to make sure people are okay.

I am! Although considering everything else that happens in the book, I'm grateful it wasn't worse.

Not only is Stringers utterly brilliant - and funny - but I'm forever immortalised in the story as an alien!

I still have yet to return the favour for @scribeofhades.bsky.social

The cover of Loki A Bad God's Guide To Being Good by Louie Stowell, with an orange cover, a black circle surrounded by runes with horns, and lots of pictures such as a devil, a snake, a hammer, a sword, a chicken, a house, a pencil, a book

For anyone who may be hastily returning certain books they bought as Christmas presents, here's a thread of excellent children's books I highly recommend you buy instead:

Funny, chaotic and a little bit naughty
okay, a lot naughty

Well, that's it for tonight, we hope to be a little bit more present next year than we've been now (*life* came in the way...). As always, you've all been brilliant, thank you so much for participating!! πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸŽƒπŸ“šπŸπŸ‚πŸ’•

I figured I’d read the book before the movie and already I don’t know how they did the movie! So different but so good.

I’m still reading The Talisman, but I am a third of the way through The Life Of Chuck as well and it’s gorgeously heartbreaking so far!

I have too many on my TBR to read already, so not sure I’m going to wish for more (lol I absolutely will) but I’m excited to get to Shitshow by Chris Panatier!

I do think that book I recommended in my last post - Fractured Echoes - would make a great limited series. Spooky stuff in Blackpool? That could be done so well!

My answer to this one is YES I have read a couple of fab spooky reads from clients, one of which is now out. Highly recommend this awesome story set in Blackpool called Fractured Echoes by JJ Noad: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FGY7RZ9...
