Priest of Bones, by @petemc666.bsky.social, is an excellent grimdark novel that I deeply regret not having read before; Tomas Piety might be one of my favourite main characters in a time, especially because of how deeply complex he is.

06.01.2026 22:28 — 👍 10 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0I was in the city office today. Mid-afternoon I fancied a snack, so I went to the office campus coffee shop to get one. They do not take cash, at all. Strictly card only. The delicious stupity of having to use a Platinum credit card to buy a 90p KitKat has kept me smiling for the rest of the day.

Have you ever grown out of an aspiration?
When I was younger and in sales and a bit of a clothes horse I used to really want a Rolex watch. Now I can (just about) afford one I just... don't want one any more. Weird or normal?

I'm currently on a historical fiction kick and bought all three of The Henrician Chronicles (Henry VIII) by @jarnopp.bsky.social to see me through my holiday next week. Have already smashed book one in two days flat.
Marvelous stuff, but I'm going to need to buy more books 😀
World events sapped my reviewing mojo for a while, but there are few better ways to escape than with a good book.
'Paved With Good Intentions' by @petemc666.bsky.social is an excellent place to hide. My review is up now geekdad.com/2025/06/pave... #booksky #fantasy from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social
Gosh, what a shock revelation! 😂
