On Saturday's podcast, I'll focus on a book linked to a #ClintEastwood film, 'The Eiger Sanction'. I thought I knew the movie and it starred #RichardHarris, but I was wrong. I'd got it confused with 'The Cassandra Crossing'. The clue: No mountains, all train. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rswK...

This 'Full Dark House' episode has advice from Fowler's blog on how to read #BryantandMay, plus tangents on Brimham Rocks' secondhand bookshop and how (one day!) I will combine descriptions of characters with place to improve my writing. I can but dream! outoforderbookclub.alitu.com/episode/9bdb...

On Saturday, I'll be talking about 'Full Dark House' by #ChristopherFowler from the #BryantandMay series. It's the first book in this series, so am I breaking the 'out of order' rules? Nope, as Fowler himself argued this book wasn't necessarily the best place to start, so I'm testing his theory!

This week's podcast will focus on a novel by #ChristopherFowler from the long-running Bryant & May series. Like last week's podcast, I had a particular 'go to' resource that should interest readers and writers alike - Christopher Fowler's blog. www.christopherfowler.co.uk/blog

I had a lovely day @bloodyscotland.bsky.social events. @lauralippman.bsky.social and #MarkBillingham even gave some advice on reading their series. For Lippman's Tess Monaghan series start at Book 5 if you aren't anally retentive and want to meet her as a much more fully formed detective.

The 'I Only Killed Him Once' episode is out. Join me as I get intimidated when previous interviews reveal the work ethic of @adamchristopher.me, and I consider if Ray Electromatic's memory issues make this the best book for any 'out of order' reader. outoforderbookclub.alitu.com/episode/9959...

Back in Scotland for a quick holiday which includes watching a few events on Saturday @bloodyscotland.bsky.social...like this one! bloodyscotland.com/event/mick-h...

In the podcast on Saturday I'll be looking at 'I Only Killed Him Once' by @adamchristopher.me. Not since Lucy Snowe in Villette have I so identified with a lead character, which is a concern since Ray Electromatic is a not only a robot but a PI and a hitman. Best not dwell on that...

On this Saturday's podcast, I'll be looking at a book from the LA Trilogy by @adamchristopher.me. Since I mention his interview with @ukpageone.bsky.social quite a lot in the podcast I thought I'd share it here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H86T...

'The Witch of Lagg' is out! In the book, the children unleash 'the witch' from an old well. In the podcast, I don't unleash a Scottish accent, I wonder if parents in YA books are still as awful as in the 80s, and if I'm capable of reading any horror. outoforderbookclub.alitu.com/episode/c964...

Saturday's podcast looks at 'The Witch of Lagg' by Ann Pilling. To be honest, I'm revisiting my childhood with this and my pre-teen reading habits surprised me. Apparently, I can read serial killer novels without any issues, but one disembodied hand tapping at a kid's window and I'm a wreck.

Memories are funny things! This week's podcast isn't about 'The Pit' but another book in the series. I read this as a child and again 10 years ago. For some reason, it always surprises me how terrified the boy looks. I guess I think books from my childhood won't have mortal terror on the front!

The second episode is out, and it's 'Alex' by Pierre Lemaitre and translated by @terribleman.com. This book was a revisit for me, which I rarely do with crime novels. However, I think it's something I should do more often as it felt like a different book, in a good way! #podcasts #books

On Saturday's podcast, we're looking at 'Alex' written by Pierre Lemaitre and translated by Frank Wynne - @terribleman.com. A novel that was actually published in the UK out of order, so it's a fitting choice. Sadly, I need to give another health warning about my pronunciation, though!

The first episode of the podcast is out! Link below! This week it's 'Betrayals' by @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social. I had a great time reading the book, and a terrifying time recording. Hindsight says, "Don't set yourself pronunciation challenges in your first episode!" outoforderbookclub.alitu.com

On Saturday, the first episode of Out of Order Book Club will be out! I'm starting with the fourth book in the Cainsville series 'Betrayals' by @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social. In this episode, I try not to insult Welsh speakers with my pronunciation and face down my fear of love triangles. Join me!

New to Blue Sky, podcasting and having a website! Just published the trailer to my first podcast called, well, Out of Order Book Club. Busy day so far, I need to have a cup of tea and relax with an action flick. Anyway, the link to the website is here: outoforderbookclub.alitu.com/1?order=newest
