It's publication day @bloodhoundbooks.bsky.social for @fredrikpwinter.bsky.social's breathtaking psychological thriller 'The Badger' in my translation. I'm delighted to see this unmissable page-turner out in the wild once and for all. #psychthriller #thriller #tripfiction #Gothenburg #swedishbooks

This is my first semla of the year. It will not be my last. And I want no instruction how to eat it.

Uninstalled it. Reinstalled it. Still hate it. It was much better before. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Delighted to see 'Wild Boar' by Hannah Lutz as one of the VOCE BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2025. Published @theemmapress.bsky.social, available @vocebooks.bsky.social and translated by me.

I devoured this compelling novella in a single sitting. Hannah Lutzโ€™s โ€˜Wild Boarโ€™ (trans. from Swedish by Andy Turner) is dark, poetic, and unsettling. I loved the layers of voices all responding in different ways to the illusive wild boar as they move beyond the forests.

Thank you, that's good to hear. Fingers crossed. It was a useful feature on the Suffolk libraries app when I was a member there.

@edinburghlibraries.bsky.social is there a way I can view my loan history on your app? Rather than having to go onto the website, this would make for easier access.

Yeah, saw that one too. My immediate thought was why not go and ask a member of staff? You know, like a normal person.

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 ofโ€ฆ something - it is a quest.
