Squeezing in some late excellent #BookPost... an absolute treat, it's the new one from @brookmyre.bsky.social ... published May 2026! 📚

No rest for the wicked...

Great piece from Angus calling for some joined-up thinking in #Hull ...

East Park looking a bit desolate this afternoon... #Hull

Cast No Shadow by Nick Quantrill 5* compelling and gritty Yorkshire Noir, out now, my review @nickquantrill.bsky.social

Recommended book 👇📚

Thanks so much for all the support this year - we've had a brilliant time welcoming authors to #Hull. We return, 21st January, with the brilliant @tariqashkanani.bsky.social at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online) 📚

And that's 2025 done with a great talk from @nicolaupson.bsky.social! A big thank you to @hulllibraries.bsky.social, The James Reckitt Library Trust, all the authors who've joined us and our brilliant audience. See you in 2026! 📚

We still await confirmation that the man on the left is Dean Windass...

Please don't be terrible...

If you're #HullLoyal, you probably know this story... if you're not, you maybe don't...

January in Hull isn't all bad...

Always an impossible task... two 2025 titles, one rare re-read ... could have picked another dozen or so without breaking sweat...

Coming soon!

Watching Anthology reminds me of how much George's wit and wisdom are sorely missed, especially in these crazy days in which we are living. Gone now 24 years today. #rememberinggeorge #georgeharrison ☮️💜🕉

I always enjoy talking to my fellow crime writers, but semi-pro footballers are my jam 😀⚽️

Wednesday night at North Ferriby FC. All welcome 👇⚽ "Join us for a captivating evening with four of the Villagers finest. Nick will be discussing career highlights, hearing about triumphs, challenges, and unique football experiences in the game and at North Ferriby."

Sad news, but a wonderful body of work to celebrate.

Hull Noir is going festive! Join us for a mince pie? 🎄

Last book event of 2025 for me done, but one more to come from Hull Noir!

Big night for the youth... first proper gig and it's the singular talent that is CMAT at the 02 Academy, Leeds...

Notes done - roll on Wednesday 🫡 It's free to join Hull Noir at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online).

Recommend the Kenny Dalglish documentary streaming via Prime... some player, but even better person... ⚽️

#Bookpost - huge thanks to Richard Lusmore for having this sent to me, and for the kind words 😀 Rich launches the book, 12th November at The Stags Head Inn, Lelley ⚽️

From 'ageing Britpopper' to 'boy band aficionado' in the blink of an eye... back out with @curiosityhull.bsky.social to discover what happened when Take That played Hull...

@beatlesbookspod.bsky.social Only just published, but has this one crossed your desk? Potentially interesting... www.amazon.co.uk/Capitol-Gain...

Out to The New Adelphi Club, Hull, and it's @joe-solo.bsky.social in his natural habitat...

Looking forward to this next Friday evening! Do join us #Hull.

This is an excellent development to perk up a rainy afternoon...

#bookpost - I initially joined the crowdfunder for this one a couple of years back. Great to see it come to fruition, and a story that should be told loudly and beyond the city of Hull...

It's only Idlewild playing all the greatest hits off their new LP in Leeds last night...

Wonderful #bookpost... it's the new one from @harriettyce.bsky.social. Hitting the shops Feb '26... sounds excellent!

Wonderful to chat all things 'Layer Cake' with JJ Connolly 👇

No photos from the stage, but an absolute treat to go deep into the 'Layer Cake' world with JJ Connolly last night at @hulllibraries.bsky.social. The film still crackles and pops on screen 😎

Two of these entered the house today... one for a middle-aged man, the other for a teenage girl...

Been out and about making some more short music films about #hull with @curiosityhull.bsky.social 👇

A great day with East Riding Libraries talking all things crime with @mwcraven.bsky.social & Zoe Sharpe and then @simonmccleave.bsky.social & @carahunterbooks.bsky.social. Read them all!📚

Re the new Reform pledge, a sports writer has already got to the heart of the matter better than the politics commentators www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here's how we're looking for October to December!

Unfortunately, Neil Broadfoot can no longer join us this Wednesday evening. However, our @nickquantrill.bsky.social and @nicktriplow.bsky.social will present 'Three Book Wednesday'. We hope you can still join us for what will be a lively evening of book chat at @hulllibraries.bsky.social 📚

We're thrilled our next film evening at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central) will be a showing of 'Layer Cake', 4th October, 7pm. We'll be joined by JJ Connolly, who'll talk about his screenplay, his source novel and its journey to the screen. Tickets - £5 - www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hull-noir-...

NEXT WEEK! 📚

Absolutely the last knockings of the school holidays... cheap train tickets to York... more trains, shops and and an unbelievable sandwich via Shambles Kitchen...

Chuffed to have the opportunity to do this 👇

Here's our next Hull Noir event : thrilled @nlbro.bsky.social is joining us at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online), 17th September. Also! Keep 4th October free for our next film evening. We've gone more recent this time with a banger from 2004. More soon!

NYC 2025...

So looking forward to this, especially as it's run by the brilliant @hullnoir.bsky.social crew!

Underrated film, I think, and a hidden Beatles corner (if such a thing exists...)

Took a trip to Hill Valley, 1955, to sort out the beef between Marty McFly and Biff Tannen*... *it's Mrs Pip's Milk Bar in Willerby, Hull...
