It’s fitting to post my #bookpile the same day I attended the wake for Jonathan from @booksellercrow.bsky.social - most books were bought from him, occasionally with a raised eyebrow at what I had committed myself to. I’ll miss his recommendations, knowledge and anecdotes. Read books, fight evil.

Books I finished between April and June 2025. A bit of a Danish theme due to a trip to Denmark in May.

Slightly illicit under the counter brown paper bag vibes from today’s post.

Final bookpile for 2024. I had a couple of weeks in hospital in October which I thought would mean lots of reading time. Turns out I couldn’t read anything at all till I got home.
I think my favourites here were Small Things Like These, Orbital, Bel Canto and Cuddy.
