I've followed Neil's podcast for years and really like him as a person, so I was nervous to read Good Boy, worried I wouldn't enjoy it. But boy was I wrong! I was sobbing by the end. I am proud of you @talkscaredpod.bsky.social, what an incredible debut. #booksky 💙📚📖

Hear me out... 6-day weekends

🎃 Spooktober '25 📽️ Miyazaki on an acid trip. A masterpiece of nonsense. 4.5/5 ⭐

🎃 Spooktober '25 📽️ 22/ Bring Her Back I've never seen @dionisea.bsky.social react so viscerally to a horror film. Usually nothing phases her but this one really got under her skin.

🎃 Spooktober '25 📽️ 21/ In a Violent Nature Terrible choice of movie as I was expecting loud, slasher action to stop me dozing off and instead got a series wonderful walks through the woods. @dionisea.bsky.social and I struggled to stay awake but really liked it nonetheless.

It's finally heeeereeeee! @talkscaredpod.bsky.social #booksy

On a lighter note, here's a photo of a beautiful sunset, to remind us all that the world is fucking burning down and we just standing there watching it and writing a angry posts on a social media platform.

I've been in Italy for just over a day and I have made the irreparable mistake of watching the fucking news. Ah... Also fuck Trump and that sausage fingers of a king, and yes, you don't even deserve the capital K.

Fuck Salvini for initiating a minute of silence for Charlie Kirk. Fuck you Berlusconi & your stupid fucking bridge, how the fuck do you still piss me off and you've been dead for fucking years now. Fuck you and fuck off.

📽️ 115/ Parthenope The trailer was a total bait and switch. @dionisea.bsky.social wanted to return to her beloved Naples but this was not the way she expected it. A film to experience rather than understand I think.

Happy Long Walk Day! I was lucky to see the movie early, and to talk to the guy who wrote it. JT Mollner take a bow! We discuss the dark comedy and hideous gun violence. Mark Hamill’s iconic heel turn. Creative control and casting choices. We talk about walking the walk All podcast platforms

📽️🎬💙 #filmsky I was not expecting to love this as much as I did. 9/10

Listening to the @talkscaredpod.bsky.social episode about Weapons has made me realise that the film is absolutely saying something about school shootings. It seems so unrealistic that the country isn't in uproar after all these kids go missing but that's exactly what happens after a school shouting

The first one that came to mind is the Monk and Robot series by @beckychb013.bsky.social I often think of them and I wonder what they're up to. Becky, we want more books plsssss!

This movie has been making me laugh since I was in diapers. #flimsky 📽️🎬

The blurbs are in for GOOD BOY - and they have me bright of eye, wet of nose, and wagging my tail. Here's a sample from @stephenking.bsky.social, @sgj.bsky.social and @rachelharrison.bsky.social Pre-order at wildhuntbooks.co.uk

We went to see my mate playing with his new band Dead Monarch Party. Check them out on SoundCloud: m.soundcloud.com/dead-monarch...

Heading back from a gig at The Dublin Castle in Camden. Brings back lots of late 90s nostalgia but the Uber home in a luxury Merc is definitely an upgrade from the days of the rowdy night bus.

After many years of trying, I have finally managed to see Ludovico Einaudi live at the Royal Albert Hall and what an absolute phenomenal and joyous performance that was. @mikeflanaganfilm.com if you're looking for a soundtracks for The Dark Tower you gotta check this out!

Of all the unpopular opinions you could have had @scribeofhades.bsky.social... how very dare you! #standforOy #Oy4evah #Oyisagoodboy @natcassidy.bsky.social @talkscaredpod.bsky.social always a pleasure to listen to you guys, even Chris 😂 @kieran.blue it's time for The Stand! 💙📚👀 #booksky

💙📚👀 #booksky And the journey continues.

When I read it years back I'd just started reading in English and I suppose I didn't connect with it on such a visceral level. Could have been the language barrier or could have been just the wrong time in my life, I don't know what it was but right now it is like discovering a whole new world.

I read The Dark Tower years ago and although I liked it at the time I did not love it as I am loving it now on a second read. I have devoured The Waste Land and there is no way I can wait until December before reading the next one for @talkscaredpod.bsky.social

Preparing for the third episode of The Dark Tower @talkscaredpod.bsky.social 💙📚👀 #booksy Kind of wish I'd read The Drawing of the Three on a beach.

New conspiracy theory for y'all Cowboys always wear hats because their heads are actually hollow like an egg cup

For me, reading has almost always been a solitary experience. I know my mum read to me as a child but I don't remember it and when she left it meant I was surrounded by people who have never voluntarily opened a book in their life. 💙📚 #booksky 1/

Drop something HOT 🔥🖤🔥

it's short for AIbert.

Every news segment about Sir David Attenborough needs to start with confetti & balloons or something... some of us don't know it's his birthday today and when he popped up on the news my heart sank for a second until I realised. Some sort of content warning please!!

I recently introduced @dionisea.bsky.social to O Brother, Where Art Thou? and now she quotes from it nearly every day

@kieran.blue: What did you have for dinner? Me: Pringles and heartburn.

We need to introduce LEGOslation banning anyone (me) from buying more #LEGO sets when they (me) have hundreds of pounds worth of unbuilt sets that they (me) have not yet assembled

Loving this game! #gamesky 💙🎮

📚💙👀 #booksy April 2025 reads: Finally got around to reading @chucktingle.bsky.social & @joshmalerman.bsky.social after hearing so much about them and I was not disappointed! @raynewman.bsky.social you're climbing up the ladder of my favourite short story authors!

Hey @raynewman.bsky.social this is your novel, right? I just want to be sure before purchasing it 🤗

I just found my new dream job title

💙👀📚 #booksky Reading a scary book in the sunshine while sipping an Aperol Spritz is all i needed today!

All dead. What have I become? #sixwordstory #WritingCommunity

Spent my Sunday evening on the sofa listening to this with @dionisea.bsky.social There were frequent pauses where we went off on our own discussion of the book, usually followed by hitting play and hearing Neil a.k.a @talkscaredpod.bsky.social say the exact same thing we had been thinking 😄

‘Average person eats 3 spiders a year’ isn’t news. ‘Average spider eats three people a year,’ now *that’s* news.

I always thought the world needs more Jack Nicholson in it and here we have it! This is the kind of nepotism I support. Brilliant movie from start to finish!

Re-read The Drawing of The Three after 10 something years in preparation for the The Dark Tower episode of @talkscaredpod.bsky.social and I am truly looking forward to it as this book remains a favourite of mine. 👀📚💙 #booksky

Where I End by Sophie White Thanks to @dionisea.bsky.social and @talkscaredpod.bsky.social for introducing me to this. Wonderfully unsettling with several truly uncomfortable moments. It's hard to say much about it without spoilers but it may be worth checking the TW before reading. 💙📚 #booksky

📽️ The Monkey 🍿 Second trip to the cinema this year, accompanied by @dionisea.bsky.social Some of it was great, some of it was terrible. Enjoyed it overall. Was surprised to see a post credit trailer for Osgood Perkins' next movie.

That moment when it’s your FIRST TIME seeing your own book at the airport!!! I’m so grateful to readers for their support 😘😘😘 #TheReformatory

Rest Stop by @natcassidy.bsky.social In a cab without my Kindle so I wanted something short to read on my phone. This turned out to be the ideal choice. Rapid and engaging, a simple setting but with enough complexity to constantly keep you guessing what's coming next. 💙📚 #booksky

This post was enough to sell me on Intervals of Darkness. I just finished it and thought the collection of short tales was absolutely superb. I will definitely being checking out more of @raynewman.bsky.social 💙📚 #booksky

I want to reassure everyone that Pope Francis woke up this morning in a good mood and had breakfast. *Insert your preferred anti-religious curse words* Currently in Italy all you can hear on the radio and TV are Sanremo's songs and the updates on the Pope's health. There's no escape.

Cosy Sunday afternoon after a long walk.
