Late to this one, just finished it. Wonderful. 5/5

Yet again that oaf has destroyed my day.

One of my favourite books I read recently.

Agreed. But, under whose orders?

ZZ Top, mid-80’s

Hey, whatever it takes to get more folk reading. Who knows, they may be persuaded to give Cormac McC a go after Brad Thor, then move onto other adjacent genres. It’s how I started reading - was crazy into horror as a young teen (still am tbh) then got into Wilde via Dorian Grey and Welles (SF).

Mr David Byrne in concert in Cardiff, Wales. Superb production.

Currently reading. It’s an amazing alt history horror novel.

…say…

John Connolly
Martha Wells
Stephen King
Jodi Taylor
Arthur Conan Doyle

Been using them for years, excellent products, fast delivery and super after sales service.

Fellow readers! What’s the obsession with counting the number of books read in a given time or to be read? I don’t understand.

It is. Read one yesterday in an otherwise great book by a fabulous author. “..he wretched, but little but bile came up. “

Just finished this book. Excellent. Be sure to read the introduction and author’s note at the end.

Like under 5’?

Reading the new AXL Prendergast - it’s cozy.

Devouring Rachel Harrison’s ‘So Thirsty’ at the moment, hot on the heels of ‘Cackle’, which I loved. ST is a great take on the vampire mythology. Recommended.

Just did exactly this too. Started Earthlings last night, I’ve had it for months, and wow already.

Great new piece about ableism on in Wexford, Ireland.

It’s edit, spell & grammar check the new play script day. Almost cast the play, onto first rehearsal on Wednesday. Excited!

Just finished The Unkillable Frank Lightening by Josh Rountree. What a wonderful trip back to the (more recent) Old West. Horror/Western mash up, very well written with great characters, some nasty, some lost. 4.5*

Well deserved as is Judith S

Timely reminder

I dnfed many this year, some were lauded by many others, but reading - it’s like film, art, music, it’s a personal thing. Colleen Hoover would not be my bag nor Jeffrey Archer, but they bring joy to many others and I admire them for that.

Yep, last night was Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me?”

You raise our hopes philsmithcross, you toy with our dreams and desires Sir!

I directed two stage plays and one short film: all written and starring young people. Looked after a dog whose brother was dying, arranged artists to visit and work with kids in schools and read a shit ton of books!!

Apples by Sun’s Signature (Liz Fraser)

It’s filthy, dangerous and just generally unpleasant. I grew up in Sutton and went to university in town - great times. My friends who still live there say they now totally avoid town. When I visit, I do my thing and leave sharpish. Lived in London for years, never felt uncomfortable but Dublin now…
