(Audio) book 40 of 2025 #TomorrowWillBeDifferent by @mcbride.house.gov - it’s amazing to hear how far we have come but sat to thing about the current regressive trends. #BookSky #QueerBookSky #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Book 39 of 2025 #ALittleGayHistoryOfWales, by #DarylLeeworthy. This was interesting brief introduction into gay history of Wales. A stark reminder of the impact of Section 28, and the significant move to homophobia during the early years of HIV & AIDS. #BookSky #QueerBookSky

(Audio) book 38 of 2025 #TheGustavSonata by #RoseTremain. Multiple love stories. #PaulGrüninger a Swiss police officer who saved thousands of Jewish lives during the the Holocaust. Intesting to think of #Davos as a place to go for TB treatment rather than the famous #WEF meeting! #BookSky

Book 37 of 2025 #TheDarkSideOfTheMind by #KerryDaynes. This was an interesting read but there was a little section where the #Rosenhan experiment is treated as if it gospel when in fact there is plenty of evidence of research fraud. #BookSky #ForensicPsychology #Criminology

Book 36 of 2025 #TheInalienableRight by @adammacqueen.bsky.social. “I’d never met anyone who took antidepressants before” said Tommy, I know I am a psychiastirst but even if I wasn’t I can’t imagine anyone saying this today. Looking forward to the next instalment #BookSky #QueerBookSky

Book 35 of 2025 #TheEnemyWithin by @adammacqueen.bsky.social, the second book in the series and we haves moved on a few years. Another brilliant read that really made you feel like you were there (and I wasn’t as a firmly 90s baby)! #BookSky #QueerBookSky
August 22, 2025 at 8:04 PM
Book 34 of 2025 #BeneathTheStreets by @adammacqueen.bsky.social the first of the #TommyWildblood series & it’s a corker of a read. I enjoyed the whole page turning book.

Book 33 of 2025 #TheArtOfALie by @laurasrobinson.bsky.social was absolutely brilliant, was so excited I accidentally preordered it twice but it was worth it such a good read. As per left wonder what Laura will come up with next #Booksky. EBay listing of you fancy my second copy - ebay.us/m/stlnSr

I love some of the amazing life stories in the @bmj.com obituaries. Dr Anne Bailey surgical oncologist & later Anglican Priest. She was a pioneer in recognising the impact of #HIV/Aids in Zambia & establish that sexual intercourse did not have it be between men to lead to transmission. #MedicineSky
