Just finished reading Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None'. One of my all-time favourite Christies. Many readers have rated this as Christie's greatest book. My review is here. #AgathaChristie #ClassicMysteries vishytheknight.wordpress.com/2026/01/07/b...

Light Sleeper by Bess Atwell is by some distance my most-listened album in 2025. Endlessly beautiful and interesting. open.spotify.com/album/4wmalP...

The new #Taskmaster line-up is INCREDIBLE.

I can't believe these #BookSky people posting their books of the year before today. What if you read your best book on New Year's Eve? Well, I didn't, now you mention it, but it's been a good year. Here's what I got up to in 2025.

I am finishing Gyles Brandreth's new biography of A A Milne - and look at the acknowledgements, @thecaptivereader.bsky.social !!!

In the first Dingle All The Way Awards, Lizzie and I look back over the highs and lows of #Emmerdale in 2025! From best performance to most ridiculous moment, here are the only soaps awards worth hearing... open.spotify.com/episode/0kJi...

Reading and listening on a quiet, chilly Sunday morning.

My dad has put on Bob Dylan's Christmas album, and I don't think even AI could conjure up a voice less pleasant to listen to

How long before Walliams becomes a cherished figure by the far-right, one wonders...

This book is the perfect Christmas read. Entertaining, lovely, and predictable enough that you can read in bursts between all the busyness of the season (or curl up in front of a fire and read in one sitting)

Does anybody know Calgary well (or even a bit tbh)? Trying to get advice on which part to stay in when I visit next year!

Bye #Neighbours! The Amazon era has been characterised by great cast and terrible stories. But I'm glad we got another 400 or so episodes.

You’re welcome @heavenalibooks.bsky.social - Stories for Lovers publishes Jan 13th! #WomenWriters #MargaretAtwood #DorothyPatker #VirginiaWoolf

Ooh, a lovely early Christmas present this morning. Thank you @britishlibrary.bsky.social @gpwigglesworth.bsky.social these look delightful. 😍📚💙

New #Emmerdale 'Dingle All The Way' podcast ep now live - covering Kev's unusual sword-based kidnapping, the world's cringiest housewarming, our hopes for Lewis and Vinnie, and the welcome return of Lydia. Apple podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/k... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/27ug...

Christmas vibes in #Vancouver 🎄

Nice to have one final kidnapping, for old times' sake #Neighbours

#Neighbours ends (again) this week, but doesn't seem to be getting any of the coverage it got last time...

Rightmove needs an 'it is cute' filter.

All these 'Nigel Farage was racist at school' allegations are surely going to end up nowhere, though. His whole schtick is being racist, usually in a nod-nod wink-wink sort of way. Is anyone (least of all his supporters) surprised?

Tea or Books? listeners have found out they can comment on Spotify eps, and it's fair to say it attracts about 50% nice people and 50% not very nice people 😄
