What are you fuckers reading now?

Bought it!

I’m only 60 pages in, and absolutely loving it.

Omg Lori stop what you're doing and read The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden. Beautiful and haunting. I've not finished it and I miss it already. An utter corker.

Holy fuck. I read the sample pages at lunch and was sobbing over the purple horse ffs. Enjoy

Also Hamnet was a beautiful read. Shakespeare not at the forefront of this much, it's the loss of his son seen through his wife's eyes, who by the way is one of the best characters I've encountered. And O'Farrell writes about grief perfectly.

Next up Eowyn Ivey's Black Woods, Blue Sky. It might be a hat trick of literary gorgeousness.

Ooh, I LOVED The Snow Child. Let me know how you like this one.

Yes it's one of my all time faves and this looks like another fairy tale retelling. I didn't gel much with her second novel.

Nothing to do with the above, but do you use the Storygraph app? I love it for tracking my reading.

Nah. I just keep reading one after the other. Although now senility is looming I sometimes wonder...fuck have I read this? So might be handy after all!

I'm a little OCD, so I like to keep track, plus I like to see the numbers piling up every year.

It's absolutely gorgeous and I wish I hadn't finished it so fast. I'm going through a book bereavement right now.

The Outrun, by Amy Liptrot
I'd seen the excellent film and the first few pages of the book had me gripped.
Long time since I guzzled a book in one day

Tori amos should stick to singing because her books didn't move me. Next up is a new book: Who's Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler, so is likely to be good bedtime reading... see you again in September

The Wandering Inn It is a web series. The author PirateAba takes you on a roller coaster ride. Honestly one of the best authors I have ever read.

Slewfoot by Brom, a cracking witch book.

Fata! Have you read "James" by Percival Everett? I started it this weekend, and it's so fucking good.
