Here’s two things I’m eking out to make them last longer because I love them. The Tainted Cup is such a good read and those dates do ACTUALLY taste like proper Scandinavian salty liquorice (but without the added sugar.)

We've just turned the clocks back in the UK to try & embrace some brighter mornings as the year draws to a close. So, how about a selection of Solaris Books with historical and historically inspired settings ft. @natania.bsky.social @maryrobinettekowal.com @emmanewman.bsky.social & more!?

So guess who’s been reading on the train again? This time it was The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett and I am already in love with it. Fantasy mystery is exactly my cup of tea!

I found this old picture of some of the chapters in Greengage Shelf. I often forgot that I wrote a cosy mystery/comedy! But the Greengage series was a lot of fun to write. If the fantasy genre keeps being a cruel mistress, maybe one day I should go back to that?

One thing never changes: I can always reread this book (and call it work).

This month’s book club book is really wonderful, albeit a hard read at times. Sometimes books have to hurt a little to change you, though.
