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

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 😁

First read this book as a 13 year old when I randomly picked it up in my local library. Lovely bit of nostalgic reading 😁. #booksky #LoveLibraries

If anyone’s qualified to identify a nazi salute. Well done for calling it out unlike the Telegraph and their ‘Roman salute’. You’re on the wrong side Telegraph!
