Hardback copy of Free Agents lying on a desk. The title and author’s name (Kevin J Mitchell) are visible on the front and spine.
4th Thinking about thinking usually makes my brain hurt but @wiringthebrain.bsky.social writes with such clarity & authority that ‘Free Agents’ – his account of how evolution delivered up free will – was immensely rewarding. Recommend you freely choose to read it! #BooksOf2026
A Kindle showing the cover of ‘Ends of the Earth’ by Neil Shubin.
5- A semi-hopeful look at the science taking place in the polar regions, and what this means for us living with the consequences of a warming world. Not my usual type of read but I did enjoy it @neilshubin.bsky.social #BookSky💙📚 #BooksOf2026
The hardback cover of Dirty Kitchen by Jill Damatac
#Booksof2026 13 - Dirty Kitchen by Jill Damatac. It details her life as an undocumented child migrant in the USA. What struck me was her sense of grace and forgiveness towards her parents who were pretty horrible to her.

A Family Matter by Claire Lynch
WOW!
Devoured this in a day, a quietly devastating novel that should be a set text.
Buy it or borrow it from your local library.
#BooksOf2026 Book number 23
Fatale by Jean-Patrick Manchette
Picked this on impulse in @waterstones.bsky.social , then it was a recommendation in the latest edition of @strongwordsmag.bsky.social.
We are obviously now ‘Simpatico‘ !

The Barbecue At No. 9 by Jennie Godfrey
I didn’t think that Jennie could top her debut novel “The List of Suspicious Things” , but by Jove she did!

#Booksof2026 - 12 The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe
Four young women building their lives and careers in 1950s New York. Office romances, dodgy boyfriends, abortion, etc. It is pretty good, but does tail off towards the end.

Book 5. This is the cliffs notes version of half a dozen events and people that would have otherwise been more interesting reading about individually. But Drake was kind of a badass.
An image of a bright red book with a black skull - The Skeleton Army by Alis Hawkins, set against a background illustration of Victorian Oxford and with flames and illustrations of the Salvation Army and Skeleton Army over the top of the bottom corner.
