Am I ever going to read a five star book again, especially a thriller! I just finished Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter which I have been meaning to read for years which was very good but it didn't blow me away. I haven't had a five star read since September! #booksky #uptoolatereading

Another day another great lot of book mail! First up my first ever #chapter25bookclub book has arrived. Our first meet up is 14th April and I'm excited to be host! Fantasy is not my least favourite genre but this does sound good. Have you read it? #booksky #bookmail #uptoolatereading

Enjoy! I liked this one. I'm reading Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter as I have been meaning to read this author for years!

Yes, I felt the same. I liked that it wasn't the usual hostage/police procedural story.

That's not what would put me off, I am a regular horror reader. It is the historical aspect that is more likely to put me off.

We are so sad to see that @denzilmeyrick.bsky.social has died. He graced us with his wry humour and quick wit at the festival in 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2024. Our thoughts go to his family and friends, especially his wife, Fiona.
