Sally, you are in for a treat!

I can’t do October either. We always used to say October half term but if it carries on like this I’ll crack

Ooooh!

I think you’ll find it was due to me having a hot water bottle to bed on Wednesday!

I think I need you to add this to the website @bertsbooks.bsky.social !!

well this is exciting news to see today! A new novel from ML Stedman coming in Feb next year!

What a book, what a writer. Having adored About A son I knew I would love this too. 200 pages of such eloquent thoughtful prose. What starts with trying to find out what has happened to a woman missing for the last 13 years becomes so much more. A study in love and loss and dealing with grief.

It’s my birthday and I’ll give away books if I want to.

Spend £20 on books at bertsbooks.co.uk today and I’ll send you a paperback I think you’ll love - at no extra cost!

Excludes subscriptions, UK only.

I am going to say "The Accidental Soldier" as my Non-Fiction pick - picture if Adam Kay had been in the Army instead of the NHS.
And fiction - Claire Gleeson - Show me where it hurts. Extraordinarily moving, devastating, yet filled with real hope.

When I read The Salt Path a couple of years ago I never bought the backstory and seemed to be one of the few at the time that didn’t love the book. A great piece of journalism.

I had already signed, but think encouraging sharing of the link is the big thing, and people getting family and friends to sign.

780 here but on the free version with the stupid energy and it’s enough to make me not care now either

Ooooh! Thanks @bertsbooks.bsky.social and especially all those who recommended this one

I have never read VF however @sarramanning.bsky.social s modern day retelling is superb! ( and def didn’t take 3 months to read or need any further writing!)

I haven't raved about it enough this year - but without question "The Fact of a Body" by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich

You’ll be glad to know I ditched the winter duvet this past weekend!

Heard about this via @trientertainment.bsky.social and Marina Hydes praise. Loved loved loved. Laughed out loud . If Adam Kay did the Army. This is the book.

NHS calls for 200,000 new blood donors as supplies run low The health service issued an

Very proud to be one of the 2%. Just 2% of the population keep the nation's blood stocks afloat by donating. Please consider it if you aren't a donor. regularlyhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98p0pj7dypo

Duolingo is now an utter shit show if you are on the free version. hearts replaced with energy that runs out regardless of whether you get answers right or not. Dutch course so short that is not vaguely worth the subscription.

A picture of the book “when the cranes fly south”

The most wonderful emotional book I have read in quite some time. A story of aging, and coming to terms with it. A must read.

Given I abandoned fundamentally, I think I can safely say his years womens prize is not for me!

Have always loved @barristersecret.bsky.social on social, as well as their non fiction writing, so have very much enjoyed this first foray into fiction which is published in August this year! A murder trial narrated by two of the co-defendants, the prosecutor, one defence barrister and the judge. 👏🏻

Uh yeah I should have warned you all our new garden furniture has just arrived and the peonies are just blooming so this is standard.

I’m with Pedro

But that's a good thing - you haven't peaked yet!

House is 17 during the day and dips to about 15 at night. I need that winter duvet!

Yes, but I only have winter and summer despite every year promising this will be the year I invest in an all seasons.
I have switched the heating off till October though…
