#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 👇

If you live in Hull, enjoy a bit of crime fiction, and love hearing writers talk about their work I would absolutely recommend going to a Hull Noir evening.

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...

It's #NationalBookLoversDay, so here's what I'm reading now, what I'm taking on holiday next week and one of my own (do leave a review if you can, please)... 📚

Wonderful stuff 🎵

@apiln.bsky.social I regret to inform you we have another vow not to shop there again... www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

Did a bonus Curiosity film... so hard to choose...

Great to see Cornershop on #TOTP

Tickets are on sale for 'Crime Day' at the East Riding Festival of Words, 27th September! Lots going on, but I'll be chatting with @mwcraven.bsky.social and Zoe Sharp, @simonmccleave.bsky.social and @carahunterbooks.bsky.social. Link in the comments.

#FridayReads - disgustingly good! Historical crime fiction of the highest order 📚

#BookPost - always a treat to have a new one from @sarahhilary.bsky.social. 'The Drowning Pool' is a return to the police novel for Sarah and set in The Peak District. Sounds amazing. In the shops next Spring.

I know Paul knows people... I wouldn't dare... 📚 ps - check out Paul's 'The Accidental Diplomat'.

Wonderful conversation and insight from @irvinewelsh.bsky.social. 'Men In Love' is in the shops now 📚👇

Lots of brilliant writing around about last night's final, but I like this one ⚽👇

Spent plenty of time on trains of late, so here are some random book recs ... It's a new one from Carl Hiaasen... Florida, corrupt politicians, dumb far-right activists and justice being served... Jake Arnott's back with a razor sharp contemporary thriller taking us into the dark heart of London.

Fun and worthwhile morning. 'Fresh Ink' introduces new work, performed script in hand, to an audience for the first time. The festival continues tomorrow 👊

We're thrilled our next guest will be @russeldmclean.bsky.social. Russel will be talking about his thrillers, 13th August (7pm). It's free to attend at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central) or via the online stream. Please reserve your space on the link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hull-noir-...

This Wednesday evening! Hope you can join us 📚

Twitter is amazing.

It's Newark Book Festival in all its glory 📚

Wonderful news.

Our next Hull Noir guest is on the telly tonight! Check out 'Insomnia', C5 at 9pm. @sarahpinborough.bsky.social is with us @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online), 16th July, 7pm 📚

Feeding the child's new interest in theatre with a trip to Hull Truck Theatre's 'Grow Festival' and a script in hand reading of new work, 'Can We Be Friends?'. Shaping up nicely and interesting to follow its journey towards full production 👊

Much fun making this short film with Curiosity... if you know, you know... if you don't, all is explained below...

I was invited to visit a Reading Retreat in this amazing building in Great Limber, Lincolnshire, earlier this week. It was excellent to talk books with the participants, and eat like a king for the evening 😊 A holiday consisting of reading? Sign me up! 📚

Been working this weekend at the amazing Big Malarkey festival, the child has been playing football... but who's the real winner 🤔
