This is Holly. Every day for the past 5 years, she picks out a stick and brings it to her favorite spot for “zen time.” While her stick may change, her routine never does. 13/10 (IG: hollythebluestaffy)

'This is a formidable book: dusky, casually horrifying, unexpectedly compassionate' #TheEndOfEverything by M. John Harrison gets a brilliant write-up in the Financial Times! This new dystopia from a master of contemporary fiction is out now 🐚 It feels like the end... www.ft.com/content/2707...

#BookReview If These Walls Could Talk by Michelle McDonagh A twisty tale but it is also a snapshot of society in Ireland, both past and present. With a varied cast of characters, criss-crossing different strands, a web of intrigue and lies unfolds www.swirlandthread.com/if-these-wal...

Today is my turn on the @hobeckbooks.bsky.social blog tour for #TheBoyInThePhoto the latest novel by Hilly Barmby. Their parents died in a car crash now there is a mysterious party who may have an interest in their will. A taut psychological thriller peterturnsthepage.wordpress.com/2026/06/25/t...

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important ❤️

Pretty good charity shop haul over the last couple of days. Think I might have read a couple of these already, but grabbed them just in case! #books #bookhaul #BookSky 💙📚

Seeing as this series is so wildly popular at the moment, a bookseller chum has lent me their copy for a look see. 50 page trial has begun!

A little message about the Britain I love.

As it's #NationalCrimeReadingMonth and #PrideMonth🌈 my next read fits the brief perfectly! #RobertHoltom #AMorbidPassion (Thanks to @titanbooks.bsky.social for the ARC) #BookSky 💙📚

Wow! A perfectly executed standalone thriller. Read this in as much as a vacuum as you possibly can.
