Happy #FridayReads! What's everyone reading heading into the weekend? For me it's:

📗: MARS ONE by Charlotte Robinson
📱: THE CARETAKER by Marcus Kliewer
🎧: DIE TRYING by Lee Child

#FridayReads at the end of a short work week. What’s everyone reading?

📗: THE HIVE by Ronald Malfi*
📱: THE CARETAKER by Marcus Kliewer
🎧: BLACK CHERRY BLUES by James Lee Burke*

*I’ll finish these today

#FridayReads can make Good Friday a Great Friday, so tell us what you're reading going into the Easter weekend. For me it's:

📗: THE HIVE by Ronald Malfi
📱: OUTLAW PLANET by MR Carey
🎧: BLACK CHERRY BLUES by James Lee Burke

Grace by A. M. Shine (HB)

Who Will You Save by Gareth L. Powell (PB)

This Bursted Earth by Garth Marenghi (Audio)

It's that time of the week again (thankfully!). What's everyone reading for #FridayReads? Here's mine:

📗: THE HIVE by Ronald Malfi
📱: FIVE NOIR NOVELS OF THE 1950s & 60s by Jim Thompson (still on A HELL OF A WOMAN)
🎧: BLACK CHERRY BLUES by James Lee Burke

Now I'm going to wishcast something else into existence as Coogler's"Departed": Adapting the HARLEM DETECTIVES series by Chester Himes

My new novel – Model Actress Whatever – is due from @titanbooks.bsky.social in May. I’ve commissioned mock-up comic book covers from ace artist Paul McCaffrey to introduce the world of MAW. This is Poltergirl, the mind-over-matter maid …

Sinners, Weapons, Frankenstein and K-Pop Demon Hunters all won Oscars.

Marty Supreme took out its vampire attack scene, and came away empty handed.

The lesson is clear. Always bet on horror.

Happy #FridayReads day everyone! What are you reading? All-change for me this week:

📗: FEMME FERAL by Sam Beckbessinger
📱: FIVE NOIR NOVELS OF THE 1950s & 60s by Jim Thompson (currently on A HELL OF A WOMAN)
🎧: LIBERATION DAY by George Saunders

Sign me up!

I haven’t got very far with it. Lot of scene-setting so far, background that comics fans don’t really need; obviously aimed at the more general reader. Hoping it picks up soon.

BOOM!
For the first time in paperback and ebook, BLOODLINES by James A. Moore, the third book in the Black Stone Bay trilogy! Get yours now!

Friday again! Which means it's time to share your #FridayReads. Mine hasn't changed since last week, but here's a reminder:

📗: THE BOOK OF FALLEN LEAVES by AS Tamaki
📱: DAREDEVIL: ENEMY OF AN ENEMY by Alex Segura
🎧: THE LAST COYOTE by Michael Connelly

Happy #FridayReads day! What's everyone reading as we head into the weekend? Here's what's in front of my eyes this week:

📗: CRUCIBLE by John Sayles
📱: NOWHERE BURNING by Catriona Ward
🎧: RED DRAGON by Thomas Harris

Two scientist walk through a lab. One is saying: "I am a scientist, Martin. My observations must be meticulously documented, rigorously analysed and objectively verified. Haste is the enemy of wisdom!" The other asks: "But could you share a preliminary appraisal of your general thinking?" The first replies: "Well, if you insist on a crudely reductive answer, then, yes, I had a nice christmas."
