Just set out on this adventure, and it's a promising start. The cover called to me, and it's an author I so often enjoy.

In common with all the other books by Anne Tyler that I've read, I'm thoroughly enjoying The Beginner's Goodbye. Moving, enthralling, and thought-provoking, I feel as though I've met Aaron and Dorothy personally. They are becoming friends and I will miss them.

On the train travelling back from a weekend away and I've just finished The Lost Passenger by Frances Quinn. It was the perfect book to take with me. I've thoroughly enjoyed all her novels, and this one was no exception. Great characters and a compelling story well told @franquinn.bsky.social

The Frozen People by Elly Griffiths. Not totally sure about it at the moment, to be honest, but I'm sticking with it.

Reading the 1st one on the bus. On the last few chapters, now, and really enjoying it 🙂

Only a few chapters into Death in the Dordogne but enjoying it so far. It feels like a cheeky little trip to France in term time 🙂

It has been my great pleasure to read March by Geraldine Brooks this week. A moving and enlightening read, clearly well researched and closely linked to one of the books that inspired me to become both a teacher and a writer. This story will stay in my thoughts for a long time.

About to start The Kellerby Code. Looking forward to it.
26.04.2025 12:42 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0You'll have a great time! Since Lockdown, I've only travelled by train and slow-travelled my way to various European destinations. It's been fabulous - meeting people, speaking/hearing languages, experiencing cultures, appreciating the geography of the places. So much better 🙂

Having given up flying for ecological reasons and discovered the considerable joys of slow travel across Europe by train, this article resonates with me. If they found a green way to fly, I wouldn't be tempted now. Train is a far more enriching experience. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Yellow Dog by Georges Simenon. I always enjoy a Maigret story, and it's just the thing after my recent holiday in France.

We have a visit from @susiedent.com today… I’ve written the blackboard accordingly.

Learning to Swim by Clare Chambers. It's completely drawn me in. So many details in those early chapters that resonate. I find myself making predictions and, in a way, I'm desperate to know whether I'm right. On the other hand, I want to savour every step of the journey because the writing is a joy.

What a fantastic book The Other Side of the Bridge is. Mary Lawson is a truly wonderful writer. I've been intending to read her work for a few years and am so glad to be doing it now. I can't put it down but will be sad when it's done.

Only a few chapters in, but The Spirit Engineer by A. J. West has got me intrigued and a little bit spooked.

Bert’s Bell
When we hit our target, we ring the bell.
We’ve just rung the bell for the shop, but not for the website.
Anyone wanna buy a book?

You’re on a first date with someone, and they tell you the name of their favourite book. You immediately start planning the wedding. What’s the book?
Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️
