Thank you @bookouture.bsky.social /Verity Bright for inviting me to be part of the #booktour for the newest #ladyeleanorswift story! Murder At The Royal Palace is another great addition to the series & I love seeing our beloved crew having new adventures. #booktour #bookouturebooktour

Thank the lord for that Europe won so I can go to sleep now!

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I either have stress at the start of a day to London or on the way home. Today it was on the way home. Made my train with 2 mins to spare. Me right now...

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

They were back again yesterday, except this time they had a new sign reading protect our kids. But today there was another, larger group of people with a sign reading Educators Against The Far Right. So we beeped them and shouted good for you. Large police presence there. Hadn't seen them before.

August 2025 reading month is done! Only 2 x 5* reads but a really great collection of 4 star+ Books. Top 2 reads of the month were #allthesinnersbleed and #brigandsandbreadknives with a really great mix of other enjoyable reads.

Still believe that Mitch will turn out to be at the heart of Las Vegas crime.

This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.

Best boys and girls.

So @popsiwinkle.bsky.social and I have marathoned CSI these last few months and we finally finished it tonight. Always feel a bit bereft sfter finishing a project especially as 'Mitch Watch' has been such a fun part of the marathoning experience. csi.fandom.com/wiki/Officer...

Labour are cowards and much like the Lib Dems did, have lost my vote forever.

More of them were back today but closer to the hotel on a roundabout. So I slowed and rolled my window down. And from the bottom of my soul and at the top of my lungs i bellowed "fuck you" at them. They'd been smiling when I rolled my window down, but that changed quickly.

Having a bad day? Have you tried Too Much Pasta™? Solve none of your problems and feel uncomfortably full with Too Much Pasta™!

The world's greatest picture of Fuji.

Watching Japan videos obsessively since we're going back next year and one talked about a great view of Mt Fuji from a certain location. This of course, as always brought to mind my great view of Fuji-san during @popsiwinkle.bsky.social 2010 visit. Couldn't have taken a better picture if I'd tried..

I'm so fucking tired of this. So tired.

oh my god this is some of the greatest Dumb Guy writing I've ever seen, I'm riveted, it's so stupid

BOOK TOUR POST!! Thank you @bookouture.bsky.social and Helena Dixon for inviting me to be a part of the #booktour for #MurderinParis the 21st instalment in the #missunderhay #cozymysteryseries I love this series and always eagerly await the next addition as soon as I finish my current read!

He's such a sweetheart and has zero filters like most 3 years old!

Saw two cunts with welsh flags on the side of a local road earlier with signs reading: housing for the Welsh, not for the world.

This poor poor person having to deal with all this.

Crisp Rat can pipe the fuck down. (Worst Chris).

Forever Bernadette. Fucking Fabulous.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Whatever your version of this is, do it for somebody else and you're making the world 1% better ♥️

For fucks sake.

Looking forward to seeing what magic shit we can get from Japan next year

Words cannot express how profoundly disappointed I am in this Labour government. They are absolutely pathetic in their continuous attempts to court the worst bigots in our society.

Just fuck the Labour party. Astonishing bigotry and hatred all to appease other bigots filled hate. Why are they appealing to them?

Oh dear, seems like I've got a new series to binge: Cara Hunter's DI Adam Fawley. Just read Close to Home & despite the digital pile of eArcs staring at me I only want to read book two. Police procedural with mixed media. I love it and it's perfect duvet day reading material!

July's round up and again I had two 5* reads (The Bewitching and The Reformatory - read read read them) and a bunch of amazing 4.5* reads. If you've been reading the HMRC series definitely get to Human Rites - it's a great closing to the trilogy.

Tall women (like me) are totally fucked aren't we. Thanks so much you intolerant bigots.

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Yep!

Did I find an American stockist of the Killer on the Road / The Babysitter lives double header? Why yes, of course I did. And she's a gloriously floppy paperback too.

So thankful I was able to see Sabbath at Download back in the early/mid 2000s. He was a metal legend with an incredible catalgoue that will stand the test of time.

Out of spite I was determined to not like that movie. Motherfuckers got me good. Gonna have to watch part 2 now when it comes out.

Randomly put on Wicked on Sky when it was halfway through. Ive been determined not to like it because the press tour was insufferable. But it's actually pretty great!

Lidl coming in for the win with its South America week. Who needs an epcot food festival when you can get an entire bag of Pao de Quiejo for a fiver!!

This will be waiting for me until I get back to the US as I'm sadly not seeing as available in the UK 😭

She arrived!! SMG is an autobuy author for me and I had been planning on holding out to get a US version of The Bewitching as I prefer the cover...but then I saw the Waterstones edition with those sprayed edges and end papers 😍

Finally got to my Q2 wrap up and 1st half of the year recommended reads. I had some phenomenal Q2 reads and far too many books to recommend over the first half of the year - could easily do my 25 in 25 now!

Messaged her this morning, all good!

Need.

Every time!

Weird, cosmic horror in short story form. Yes please!!
