Today’s holiday read. Unashamed fantasy! The lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. A darker homage to Fritz Leiber’s Grey Mouser. A rattling good swashbuckling yarn. #fantasybooks #booksky

Is there a word for the joy of introducing someone to a favourite book and them loving it too? I feel we have too few words describing the pleasures of books. Either that or I need educating in them! #booksky

No tube book today but a holiday book. Hoorah!
Haven’t been able to put it down - Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. Beautifully written fantasy, reads like a classic novel and a page turner to boot. #holidayreads #fantasybooks #booksky

Today’s tube read; a truly great author. Read this back to back with Cannery Row to see why. ‘All human life is here’

Today’s tube read. On a lovely sunny day in London, what better than a bucolic H.E.Bates tale. #Booksky #tubereads

IMHO one of the greatest sword and sorcery books ever. Fantastical yet realistic, comical yet with a dark brooding menace. How wizards should be!

Planning (and buying) my ‘holiday reads’. First on the list is a book I’ve always wanted to read but never got round to it. Love a bit of swords and sorcery 😁 #booksky #holidayreads

Today’s tube read. The British version of Machiavelli’s The Prince or Sun Tzu’s TheArt of War. A comic classic.

So pleased with yesterday’s purchase from The Keel Row Books. 6 replace books I used to have but gave away. 2 new reads. Happy place 😁

I can't be the only one who wants to scream StFU every time I hear a #COnservative bemoaning what the current government is doing.
Do these people have no respect? Do these people not remeber the ruin that they caused to this country?

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion.
But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

The right-wing press pushed a false narrative against ending the private school tax break…
Will they now issue a correction…?
They run the same narrative against a wealth tax... it’s equally false.
