Just a girl with nothing much to say. GenX. Loves reading. π Bookbuddy UK. (she/her)
I started Murder at World's End by
@mossmontmomery.bsky.social
today. I thought it was one of his children's books (I absolutely loved The Midnight Guardians) until I got to p46! π I can see it appearing in the wrong book section at times! I'm very much enjoying it. β€οΈ

Whilst looking for books age 5-8 I came across books by Amelia Cobb, only according to Nosy Crow she's not an actual person! They can't be AI (the earlier ones are too old) so why the anonymity, I wonder? π€ Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally new and standalone.Thanks. π

According to the Halifax app, "In 2024, customers paid in 199,000 cheques using the app each month." 199,000 cheques a MONTH?!?! I didn't know they were still so popular. (There's not even a cheque emoji as far as I can see). Who knew?
