Itβs a stay like no other.

#Booksky - this cult classic was legendary in the twitter lit scene back in the day and it's been out of print for ages. Fucking brilliant book from one of the most original and versatile voices on the block. You'll need to move fast if you wanna get a copy cos these aren't gonna stick around π¦©π

2nd short book of the day is wild boar by Hannah Lutz (trns Andy Turner) from @theemmapress.bsky.social bought from @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social - the wild boar in question are mostly absent from this book as 3 characters head to the Swedish countryside in search of⦠something - it is a quest.
