I'm reposting the below with an apology to @weatherglassbooks.bsky.social as they too reside on that bookcase. #booksky #books

September reading 🧵 A second visit to the small Alsace border town of St. Louis and its put-upon chief of police Inspector Gorski. This time there's been a road accident but there is something not quite right about it. A mystery to be solved but who by? ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

After a recent comment about the avatar pic, I've decided to return to keeping my books by publisher starting with this, the current @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social collection, all 71 together for the first time. The Books of Jacob is a bit of a pain though! #booksky💙📚 #books

I'm 65 pages into this excellent book by @nicholasroyle.bsky.social and I've already got another dozen books on my "must get" list. This could get expensive...😬 #booksky

This young lady has taken up residence behind our sofa on the back verandah. She's a growing girl and should more than double in size! #australia #spiders

August reading 🧵 Starting another month with this long-lost novel set in the cattle country of Nth Nevada about a girl's coming-of-age in the male-dominated world of cattle ranching. Another great find from @neglectedbooks.com republished by Boilerhouse Press. Superb. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

2019 #1 The year started with a return to the iron range of Nth Minnesota as an elderly woman on her deathbed thinks back to a tragic event from the summer of 1936 that changed the course of her life. A kind of prequel to the two novels I read in 2018 and an excellent debut. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

Ten writers by whom I've read more than five books: Fiction only: Denis Johnson Roberto Bolano Natalia Ginzburg Jean-Patrick Manchette Virginie Despentes Rachel Cusk Colson Whitehead Fleur Jaeggy Richard Stark 1Jenny Erpenbeck

July Reading 🧵 Began another month by returning to the American short story with this really exceptional collection, all centred on a young woman living through her 20s and 30s and the family and friends she deals with along the way. Beautifully observed, finely written. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

New arrivals! 💙📚 #booksky #books

@damonyoung.com.au Seen in the wild at NGV this morning...

June reading 🧵 A middle-aged author whose name is familiar, embarks on a strange road trip around Switzerland with his aging mother as they try to dispose of her ill-gained fortune. Another poster on here rightly summed this up as about how Europeans are evil. Good though. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

There's a cat in this picture, I promise. #catsofbluesky #cats

So I headed up to Avenue Books to pick up one book I'd ordered today and I'm not sure how I ended up with all these! Is there some kind of mathematical formula that covers this? 🤔 💙📚 #booksky

2018, a reading 🧵, #1 A fascinating book on our relationship with soil, past, present and possible future. I've put the publisher's blurb in the alt text, it's a pretty good summary of what this is about. Well-written and highly informative. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

May reading 🧵 Starting the month with this wonderful book about what goes on when most of us are asleep. From bakers to bats, air search & rescue to night mail trains and much else besides, the author writes of the people who keep it all running out there through the night. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books

A movie that takes place where you're from.
