Unexpected PTSD things..
Sleep ....I'm either an exhausted gremlin, wired to the moon, getting by on a few hours of nightmare laced broken sleep or I'm a dissociated sloth capable of nothing but sleep.

I adored HMRC by Juno Dawson on audio, so much so I pre ordered Shadow Cabinet but then didn't listen to SC because what if I didn't love it as much as book 1?!?!?!
Anyway, the library is bringing me Human Rites next week so I've finally started SC.

In the summer there was a chess club and we had at most 4 people (Inc me). We decided to try and keep it going and yesterday we had 9 kids (plus 2 more too little to play but they like watching). Their enthusiasm is brilliant and infectious.

Right, my library mostly has me covered for mainstream titles so that frees up my spending for more niche stuff.
So who are your favourite small press / indy publishers?
@runalongwomble.bsky.social should have a couple.....

Fans of Fractured Europe series by @hutchinsondave.bsky.social you need to check out On The Calculation of Volume by Solvej Balle.
They are totally different but also not. Similar vibes or echoes or something, anyway this also goes vise versa so just read them all and be happy.

This weekend has been a massive dopamine hug and I don't know that I've ever been this content.
In part due to kayaking yesterday afternoon on a local loch, just me, my dog, and my friend.

Starting a new book. It's "You All Die Tonight" by Simon Kernick.
