What a better way to start a Monday than with the third part of "A Jam's list to 2026 releases"? Third part of my most awaited titles for 2026 and that I hope to cover in the blog (depending on review copies and all): jamreads.com/articles/a-j... 💙📚

Very happy to use the voucher my daughter gave me for Christmas for a trip to @galaxybookshop.bsky.social and add a few more of @aptshadow.bsky.social works to my shelf.

I’m starting a book that’s been on my TBR for far too long. Can’t wait to see what @timhardieauthor.bsky.social has in store for me

New books from me from Tor UK - this starts with Children of Strife next year and will continue with some standalone books after that.

The very final adventicle! A message and some news from Emma and myself, and a look behind the scenes at the utter chaos of making the podcast.

Throughly enjoying my current read. A much darker urban fantasy than I was expecting but I’m absolutely loving it. Super grateful for @philspeculates.bsky.social sending all three books in this series

Getting the Christmas Eve run to offset tomorrow’s calories. No the chocolate on the cappuccino doesn’t count

It’s been a joy to listen to @emmanewman.bsky.social & @aptshadow.bsky.social give their advent TV recommendations. Not least this by Adrian, which I agree is possibly the best show ever

I’ve just finished the brilliant second instalment of The Hybrid Helix - Return Of The Griffin by the talented @jcmberne.bsky.social The perfect antidote to Christmas stress. Unless you’re triggered by ancient octopi or giant sharks

Summer runs can be tough 32c (90F for you heathens) on this mornings run but the view helped

This is awesome. While I've had a few short stories translated, this is the first time for my of my novels (36 Streets). The Russian cover of my vehemently anti-imperialist book is excellent, and I love seeing this artist's interpretation of the protagonist, Lin Thi Vu. Link below.
