Nine Goblins by @tkingfisher.com is the most perfect start to the reading year. Short and perfectly formed. You will fall in love with the goblins.

Thank you, I know I will.

Cover of Children of Strife (ARC) by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I just love being a bookseller. Thank you @panmacmillan.bsky.social that's my weekend sorted. An upcoming addition to the Children of Time series by @aptshadow.bsky.social 🥳

Not cheese. @scalzi.com

A plate of brisket, mashed potatoes, gravy & vegetables

First brisket of the season. Not something we have every week, of course, but it felt like one of those days.

Appropriately seasonal and definitely a good romp

Good morning Mighty Womble, currently reading an ARC of the new one from Claire North-Slow Gods & listening to Ring the Bells by C K McDonnell.

Treating myself after a very hectic week.

@penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social know how to make a bookseller very happy. @caimhmc.bsky.social with Ring the Bells and Tales From The Stranger Times I have had a really enjoyable week.

A stack of Sci-Fi & Fantasy titles- Hemlock & Silver and Paladin's Hope by T. Kingfisher, Murder by Memory Olivia Waite, Everybody Wants to Rule the World Django Wexler, Blitz Daniel O'Malley. On top of Eat Yourself Health Jamie Oliver.

On my week off, I bought one or two books....and a Jellycat 😂
Visits to Waterstones York, Edinburgh West End & Durham.

Large spider chilling out between the double glazed doors

I really, really dislike spiders, but this one was just chillin' minding it's own business.

Good morning mighty book-tempter, currently reading Lake of Darkness by Adam Roberts. Not sure where it's taking me, but loving it.

Can our intrepid duo solve the mystery of the kidnapped gentleman via a series of bank robberies, and find the beagle?

Absolute genius....funny, quirky, thrilling, the Victorian age on electricity.

I have loved The Ink & Sigil series by @kevinhearne.bsky.social. Candle & Crow is a very satisfying conclusion & I will miss Al & the gang. Also took note of all the book recommendations.

Once Was Willem hard back cover, red, black & gold. Between two plants

Thank you to @orbitbooks.bsky.social for this beautiful book by M R Carey.
Not sure what I was expecting, but I loved this medieval, monstrous, magnificent seven.

Ideally paced, plenty of action & unexpectedly brave & honourable characters.

From the movie Arachnophobia, Jeff Daniels cowering against a door

I'm not a huge fan of spiders, but I love Arachnophobia.

Strange Beasts by #SusanJMorris was a lot of fun. An excellent mash-up of gothic horror & Sherlockian crime drama. Will keep you guess.

On it's way 🎉

Book cover for The Hidden Legion

I didn't realise that one of the benefits of having boiler replacement work, was having the time to finish the most excellent The Hidden Legion by @snorrikristjansson.bsky.social
Loved the premise, the setting & the eclectic cast of characters. Looking forward to picking up The Silent Emperor.

Cover of Rose/House

When you come home from work & your husband sees your new book 🙄. My TBR pile is not getting any smaller, although Rose/House is a novella, so TBR is not much taller. 😂

Book cover of The River Has Roots

Example of illustrations inside the book

Also received my copy of The River Has Roots by @amalelmohtar.com. I didn't realise there would be illustrations. A beautiful book, inside & out.

Book cover for Once Was Willem and spine of The Knight and the Moth

Excellent book post from @orbitbooks.bsky.social.

#booksky

Publishers bringing their A Game. To Cage A God looks beautiful. #booksky

The Runes of Engagement from @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social & @daveklecha.bsky.social is a hugely enjoyable mash-up of military & fantasy tropes. Action-packed, nerd reference aplenty & props for naming the British base after Commander Vimes. #booksky

Did I need more books? No.
Do I want more books? Yes.
😂 #booksky

A display of 6 new titles. Future's Edge, The Book of Love, The Butcher of the Forest, Shigidi, Tainted Cup & Greenteeth.

The joys of being a bookseller, showing off the new titles you're excited about. #booksky

I love this book. Magic, monsters & family. It was great having a heroine who was closer to my age with all the aches & pains. 😂

@garethlpowell.bsky.social Future's Edge out in the wild a little early.

Book cover. A Serpent eating it's own tail, over a knife/dagger

I must thank @scalzi.com who featured The Serpent and the Knife in Whatever.

A fun all-action ride across multiple dimensions. Espionage, smart-arse AIs & complicated relationships.

Thankfully no children here (unless you count my husband)😂
