My review of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social is on IG.
If you're looking for a straight-up horror novel then this isn't it, but if you want an anger-inducing and at times heartbreaking story about female rage, then you need to read this.

I've been rubbish at posting on here (and social media in general, tbh) but I'm sharing my review of the amazing The Axeman's Carnival by @catherinechidgey.bsky.social on Instagram, which is set to be one of my top books of 2025 (yes, already).

This is your Black Friday reminder that actual book shops can't afford to discount like Amazon and supermarkets do. If you can, get full price books but also a full heart.

I've been a fan of Matt's since his Man vs. Baby days (we had our children around the same time) and this, his debut novel, is just joyous.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

It's been a work in progress (i.e. I've been super lazy doing it), but I've finally finished my #lego #hocuspocus set.

Snow is falling in London (son sent us a video!) so thought you might like a reminder that here in Scotland we name the gritting machines and there’s a site that tracks where they all are!
My favs are Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and Spready Mercury ☃️😂
