#BookAdvent #Day23 As 2025 draws to a close, a year which marked the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, it seemed only fitting to share my personal favourite... #Persuasion #JaneAusten

Ignore your current #TBR and dive into the darkly funny, brilliant #Skelfs #Thriller #Series this Christmas for ONLY £1.99 on Kindle!! And remember, you can gift eBooks so why not give the gift of an addictive series? DON'T miss out on this HUGE deal! amzn.eu/d/1EUNa3P

This PEANUTS comic strip was published #OTD on December 22, 1993.

#BookAdvent #Day22 🦈 You're going to need a bigger coffee table...🦈 #JawsMemories #MattTaylor

I'm usually averse to promoting Amazon in any way, but this is outweighed by my belief that everyone should read this series! Only £1.99 for all these terrific books!!! You're welcome! @dougjohnstone.bsky.social @orendabooks.bsky.social amzn.eu/d/1EUNa3P

#BookAdvent #Day21 A wonderfully dark and suspenseful thriller, featuring a truly creepy killer, who is anything but sweet... @nicolasobregon.bsky.social #TheSugarMan

#BookAdvent #Day20 Been handselling this one like a demon today. Based on a real life triple murder case in the Hebrides in 1857 this is a spare but extremely powerful read. Perfect. #GraemeMacraeBurnet #Benbecula

#BookAdvent #Day19 This final instalment of the #Enceladon trilogy was a wonderfully satisfying conclusion to this excellent series. I would urge you to discover this series too! ❤️🐙 @dougjohnstone.bsky.social @orendabooks.bsky.social

Paul Doiron: Storm Tide Publish Date: June 30, 2026 - PREORDER HERE Maine Game Warden, Mike Bowditch, attempts to rescue the Malloy family from a burning house. It's kind of ironic that the man owned gyms called Feel The Burn Fitness.… https://murderincommon.com/2025/12/14/paul-doiron-storm-tide/

Today on my blog: Phở Real  – Crime Writer Margot Kinberg share.google/FDmCTwNpWqU8...

#BookAdvent #Day18 This will quite possibly be my book of the year. A crime novel that is unlike any other book you will read...🐾🐾🐾 @stevenashwrites.bsky.social #RemingtonPlatypus @northodoxpress.bsky.social

#NewBookDay This series is one of my favourites, and a big thank you to @hodderbooks.bsky.social for a proof of @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social #TheEdgeOfDarkness publishing in January! #TeamPersis

#BookPost My equivalent of three French hens! A big THANK YOU to @johnmurrays.bsky.social @pushkinpress.com and @wmcollinsbooks.bsky.social for these amazing books! @calflyn.bsky.social #AnnaNerkagi #AdrianPotter

#BookAdvent #Day18 This will quite possibly be my book of the year. A crime novel that is unlike any other book you will read...🐾🐾🐾 @stevenashwrites.bsky.social #RemingtonPlatypus @northodoxpress.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day17 No spoilers here. It's just 😱 in the best way! A terrific addition to the superlative Thorne series from #MarkBillingham...

#BookAdvent #Day16 I seldom read biographies/memoirs but this one was a notable exception! @margaretatwood.bsky.social is an absolute legend and this book is as entertaining, thought provoking and dryly humorous as you would expect...

ALL of this! #TheWinterWarriors by Olivier Norek, t N Caistor is an absolute must-read!

#BookAdvent #Day15 Picked this one up on a whim earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Based on the tumultuous 'friendship' of Joan Didion and Eve Babitz, I then fell down a rabbit hole of related reading! #EllaBerman #LAWomen

#HaveRead my last ever #FreidaMcFadden book... Let us never speak of this again.

#amreading my first ever #FreidaMcFadden book. I will not be taking questions at this time.

#BookAdvent #Day14 Can't help thinking that this one went a little under the radar, but I thought #TheGirlInCellA was both clever and compelling. If you liked #AllTheColoursOfTheDark you'll love this! @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day13 Another top 10 read of the year as Captain Sam Wyndham and his former police colleague Surendranath Banerjee are reunited in the newest instalment of this excellent series set in 1920s India. My advice would be to read them all-they're fantastic! @radiomukhers.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day12 A cracking start to a new Devon set police procedural series from @williamshaw.bsky.social Can't wait to see what happens as the series progresses... @harpercollins.bsky.social

Lovely to see people embracing @stevenashwrites.bsky.social #RemingtonPlatypus The most refreshingly different book I have read this year.. #BeMoreBadger 🐾🐾🐾 @northodoxpress.bsky.social @tednorthodox.bsky.social #BookSky💙📚

For the evening crowd...

So glad that this paperback landed super early at work today! Been dying to catch up with Kat and Locke, as the first two of the series were soooo good! @jocallaghankat.bsky.social @simonschusteruk.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day11 The Winter Warriors depicts a harsh and uncompromising period of WWII history that is beautifully depicted by #OlivierNorek, tr. #NickCaistor and I thought it was simply marvellous. @orendabooks.bsky.social

Read Like Nobody’s Watching- Raven’s November Reads - in which I praise, gush and vent my spleen... ravencrimereads.wordpress.com/2025/11/10/r...

#BookAdvent #Day10 I'm spoiling you today with this terrific Dickensian duo from @authorbarbara.bsky.social Dark, atmospheric and with the added bonus of a truly compelling female protagonist. Marvellous! @canelobooks.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day9 Another favourite read this year and one for your wishlist! Family, politics, culture, religion, the environment #Saraswati is a smorgasbord of delights and beautifully written too. #GurnaikJohal @profilebooks.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day8 One of my favourite reads this year, #Dangerous is a wonderfully researched and atmospheric re-imagining of Byron's sojourn in Venice. A suspenseful gothic tale of murder and scandal from @essiefox.bsky.social @orendabooks.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day7 I love a bit of Bond and very much enjoyed @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social's #QuantumOfMenace featuring the curmudgeonly Q.

#BookAdvent #Day6 Nature writing is one of my favourite genres and this is just sublime. All the feels of #HIsForHawk and a beautiful meditation on our connection with nature. #RaisingHare @chloedalton.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day5 IMHO the one that should have won the #BookerPrize. If you've not read this quiet, poignant and beautifully written book I would definitely recommend it... #BenjaminWood #Seascraper @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day4 Maybe a little bit of a niche choice but if you've ever worked in a customer facing role and maybe feel you've not achieved your life's ambitions, there is much to entertain and amuse here. I laughed. A lot. #JohnTottenham #Service

#BookAdvent #Day3 Instead of these French hens, I'm going for the three Finder mysteries from #SimonMason Taut, suspenseful and with a protagonist who has more than his share of inner darkness, these are a real find. (Apologies for the pun.) #riverrunbooks

End of the Year Book Tag '25 irresponsiblereader.com/2025/12/02/e... @hcnewton.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day2 Absolutely love the absurdity that #AnttiTuomainen brings to his books, but always tinged with a little pathos. This is a road trip that everyone should join! Also a brilliant translation by #DavidHackston @orendabooks.bsky.social

#BookAdvent #Day1 One of my first reads of this year which haunts me still. The discovery of a young girl's body in a peat bog causes fear and suspicion in a small Scottish rural community, with the backdrop of WWI. Lyrical and poignant. #GabrielleGriffiths #GreaterSins

#NewBookDay When I was asking for fantasy recommendations, this series cropped up a lot, so time to try them! First up #TheShadowOfTheGods @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social

Yes, I know I'm a grown up but ... #AdventCalendar

It's the time of year when people are putting out lists of best books of the year. So why not tell an author you've loved their book this year? Because not being on those lists makes many authors sad. You can make them happy!
