I just finished The Society of Unknowable Objects by @garethjohnbrown.bsky.social and it was an absolutely cracking read. I loved The Book of Doors and enjoyed this one just as much. I hope there will be another one coming! #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Saddened to read this today - Greg Iles was a fabulous writer. His novel
The Quiet Game is one of the best thrillers I’ve ever read.

It wasn’t - but I have seen the Lost Room since because other people have mentioned it to me, and I loved it! Can see the comparisons totally!

I’ve just finished reading an advance copy of The Salt Oracle by @rainewilson.bsky.social - this is dark academia done right! By turns haunting and horrifying, this tale is ultimately humane and hopeful. A book that deserves your attention.
