Recommended: THE WORD FOR WORLD, an exhibition of Ursula K Le Guin's maps and other artwork at the Architectural Association gallery until Dec 6. Small but well curated, and there's an accompanying book too.

On a happier note, tonight's dinner: smoked mackerel, lightly roasted veg, and potato wedges with spinach and salad veg, tossed in cajun-spiced sour cream and topped with sesame seeds. Sounds odd, tastes great 😋

4. Finally, this one is highly intriguing – because the book hasn't actually been published yet 🤪🐶

3. This one is just obvious, thanks to the inept formatting. It might as well say [BOOK TITLE HERE] 😂

2. This one is highly unlikely. Barely anyone read The Tempus Project to begin with, *and* it's currently only available in the US via import. (I couldn't fit the whole email in a screengrab, but it ends with a notice that they're US-based)

1. This one is at least plausible. The (AI-generated) description of Can You Solve the Murder? is accurate, and it's true, some book clubs really have taken to CYSTM 🔍

Experiments in curry: trying out a new small-batch base gravy recipe that cooks while you prep and chop for the main dish, then used it to make a regular veg curry with quorn. Came out pretty good! 😋

I swear to god, the funniest thing about this is that for some reason my window cleaner thinks my name is Martin, and it's now gone on so long I haven't the heart to correct him. Is he behind all these book club scams?! 😂
