just finished @tadethompson.bsky.social 's Molly Southbourne books. It's the rare series that gets better and better as it goes on. starts out as kind of a clever gimmick and by the end it's a shattering story about childhood abuse and recovery. www.amazon.com/dp/B08L6P5G4...
itâs obvious someoneâs making a fortune out of these price hikes. Costs went up, fair enough⌠but they havenât come back down,
Feels like weâre all paying more so a handful of companies can pad their profits.
I have seen some sharper pencils in the box
Currently reading The Road to Wigan Pier is one of those books that hits with the force of reportage and the sting of autobiography. Orwell goes north in the 1930s to document workingâclass life and itâs a powerful read #book
These should be the foundation of a good library
It might seem old to some people, but it still feels brand new to me
There is an old movie called Capricorn one which was about a fake mission to Mars makes you think
Itâs on the ITV X app at the moment

In the world we work in, finding a moment to switch off isnât a luxury â itâs survival.
Taking an hour or two to reset, breathe, and just be makes everything else feel a little lighter.
Hereâs to the small pauses that keep us going, and the simple joys that help us feel human again. đ
Sounds to me like a cash grab like the upcoming updated book by one of the brothers
Unsettled Ground is a quiet gutâpunch â tender, atmospheric, and full of the fragile resilience of lives lived on the margins. A beautifully bruising read

No way there will be boots on the ground out there
Sunâscorched, tense, and quietly brutal. Emma Styles turns a coastal thriller into a characterâdriven gut punch. Two girls, one predator, and a tide of dread that never stops rising. A sharp reminder of why we read thrillers at all.

Dead Manâs Walk is a brutal, funny, dustâchoked origin story where Gus and Call stumble toward legend. Fast, fierce, and a reminder of how good it feels to get lost in a book.
This is more my style Diane spoiled me tonight with marinara chicken
A masterclass in doubt. Rachel is either danger or delusion, and Du Maurier makes you love the uncertainty. A tight, elegant reminder of the joy of books and the thrill of never knowing the truth.

Underdogs by Stephen Leather and wow â this one moves. Urban grit, highâstakes tension, and a manâandâdog duo you canât help rooting for. If you love thrillers with heart, atmosphere, and proper bite, add this to your stack

In my humble opinion it would be better with roast potatoes and gravy đ
Cthulhu and the fisherman
Decided to redo this...
There are novels that hook you with plot, and then there are novels that quietly take your hand, lead you to the edge of a cliff, and ask you to look down. Saoirse is the latter

Niamh NĂ Mhaoileoinâs Ordinary Saints is a sharp, tender debut about guilt, desire, and the stories families bury. Funny, intimate, and quietly devastating.

Every once in a while you donât know how to review comes along and such a book is Wendy Erskineâs The Benefactors is a quietly unsettling look at what happens when generosity, grief, and blurred boundaries collide

Diogenes of Sinope gets my vote but in many ways I like his style đ
Refused to bow to kings, famously telling Alexander the Great to âstand out of my sunlightâ
Bookshop, Far from the Light of Heaven
Always good to see my babies in the wild.
This one in Southend-on-Sea
No but got Jane Eyre
Not one I have read nor I am planning to do so
Definitely the clock goes backwards
I picked up a copy of the book from the library last week and need to watch the movie again years since I saw the classic
Itâs a visual experience reading the book and the drawings of the dust clouds at the start are so powerful
