THE BONE MOTHER - Suzy Aspley. After a severed ear is found just before Samhain, journalist Martha Strangeways finds herself involved in another gruesome and terrifying case, where the uncanny crosses paths with the horrors of humanity. #BookSky #ScottishCrime

REVIEW: The Dog Park Detectives - Paw and Order by Blake Mara. The third modern urban cosy crime novel following the adventures of a group of dog owners and their canine counterparts, drawn into investigating local murders. Love the characters and the storylines. #BookSky

Happy #Caturday from FatBrian and LibraryCat, who have never done a single Nonsense or Shenanigan in their lives.

REVIEW: Murder with a Side of Shrimp and Grits - Skylar Warren. A family diner's future hangs in the balance when the Mayor drops dead while eating. Jessie and her friends band together to clear her name and find the culprit. A warm hug in a book. #SkylarWarrenBookTour #Booksky #CosyMystery

All I wanted for my birthday today was a Habs win. Thank you, boys 🥰 🔵⚪️🔴 #GoHabsGo

Libby thinks you all need to go buy The Party to End All Parties by @lucynichol.bsky.social (writing as Lucy Roth). A drink and drug fuelled race to the bottom as the awful Morland siblings vie for control of the family estate. It’s only 99p today so don’t miss a bargain! amzn.eu/d/0hpY8hnS #booksky

BLOG TOUR: Holy Island - LJ Ross. Spooky police procedural, a locked island mystery. Ritual killings on a tidal island cut off from the mainland, and a DCI recovering from his own trauma make for an addictive novel. Loved revisiting Holy Island. #BookSky 📚💙⚡️

"okay, knobs! listen up!"

So, Hank has been missing for 15 months. Today I received a photo of a body of a cat, with his exact markings on the side. I’ve just been out to retrieve him and… it’s not Hank. Hank is still out there being a bastard. Apologies for the emotional whiplash today.

Besties 🥰

#booksky I adored Faye Brann’s comedy crime caper Kiss, Marry, Murder. Lots of genuine laugh out loud moments as former TV host Jessica Sinclair takes up private investigation and ends up framed for murder. Vibrant characters and wonderful writing.

#BOOKSKY REVIEW: MURDER AT THE SPIRIT LOUNGE by JESS KIDD. Eerie historical mystery set in a run down 1950s seaside town, where former nun Nora Breen is trying to re-establish herself out of cloisters. When a seaside medium is found dead at a seance, other attendees may be in danger...

Can journalists please call out politicians when they use the phrase 'Get people off benefits and into work'? We hear it all the time (I heard it just now on R4) and it ignores, I suspect deliberately, the fact that roughly a third of all people on Universal Credit are in employment.

I have more cats per square inch on my bed…

BLOG TOUR: Nothing Left Behind by Hannah Brennan. When a nuisance caller who feared that someone is going to burn her house down is found dead in a house fire, DCI Liz Field works to ensure justice is done. Gripping and tense thriller with a compassionate and competent lead. #BookSky

#TongueOutTuesday It’s been just over a month since Libby moved in with us. She’s so perfect. From being a former feral living rough under a rusted car, she’s been the easiest adoption ever.

Today, on what would have been Sir Terry Pratchett’s birthday, I’m starting a read (listen) through of the full Discworld series. I’ve been dipping in and out and relistening to my favourites, but now I’m going to go right back to the beginning. Oh Sir Terry, you are so missed. #booksky

I bought new bed linen and new pyjamas. I was so excited for bed time. But my down duvet has decided to explode so now im getting into bed looking like I’ve murdered a chicken.

Playoff hockey is my favourite time of year. Libby has an assist on at least 2 Avs goals.

DayLibby and NightLibby are two separate cats, I swear.

BLOG TOUR: The Woman In The Wall - Heidi Amsinck. An addictive gripping thriller set in Copenhagen. Journalist Jensen's investigations into her own background collide with the police investigations into violent crimes against women. 5th in a series, but can be read as a standalone. 💙📚 #BookSky

It's a real scream 🎃🎭💀 Fright on Stage Right: gbralph.com/fright-on-st... #Mystery #BookSky #Halloween 🌈📚🇳🇿📚💙🔎💀📚👀📚🌎🌈✒️

It’s been a year since I last saw you, Hank. And I’m still looking. I always will be searching.

The Ending Writes Itself: Such a fun read, but stick to a hard copy - word mispronunciations in the audio made my brain itch and had to stop listening. #booksky 💙📚⚡️

Happy #Caturday from Libby She’s been here 2 weeks, and she’ll be here forever. #rescue

Less than 2 weeks and FatBrian is snuggling with his baby sister 😍🥰

Trying to focus on a zoom call while these two reprobates hog my desk. They don’t understand why I’m using their bird screen for non-bird stuff.

Libby at 9:59 pm: sweet, polite, quiet Libby at 10 pm: SHENANIGANS. NONSENSE. MISCHIEF. CHAOS.

Left the kids to schedule my social media content for the week. Nothing will go wrong.

📚📚BOOKMAIL!! 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much to Random Things Tours, Muswell Press and Heidi Amsinck for the gifted copy of The Woman In The Wall! Really excited to be reading and reviewing the latest Jensen thriller from @heidiamsinck 😍😍😍 #booksky 💙📚 Look out

Happy #Caturday. It’s only been a week and Libby and FatBrian are *besties*

I know people think I’m mean for calling the cat FatBrian, but this pic does make him look like he has massive ass cheeks 🤣

“What?”

Honestly, I’m astonished by the change in only 4.5 days. I think you’re here forever, Libby 🥰🥰🥰

One day, I will get a normal cat. Libby is not that cat. She’s a very silly girl 🥰

“Time for bed, Libby” “Absolutely not! I have shenanigans and nonsense to do!”

One of my ultimate comfort series - and check the entire thread for more great cosy reads 🥰

FatBrian and the joy of a good box #catinabox

Princess Libby meets FatBrian. Or she will when he wakes up from his box nap.

Libby: Days 1-3 I love this little baby girl so much 😭😭🥰

Frankly, it feels like a weird day for Amazon UK to make a book about vampires deal of the day but well… Sacralicious!

Honestly, I would die for this girl already

LibraryCat (Libby for short) has only been here for 36 hours and would die for her. A 15 month old rescue that’s lived wild for months, had a terminated pregnancy and see the loss of her sister, she’s astonishingly brave and loves head scritches 😍😍

New cat? Meh. NEW BOX! FatBrian having the best Saturday Night.
