Good morning! Having a re-read today: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. Gothicky goodness, lesbian necromantic nuns in space. Such a good series, incredible world building, I enjoyed them all Highly recommended.

Morning! Today I'm finishing Alien Clay by the annoyingly talented Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's very very good, going in a direction I didn't expect. The word genius gets bandied around too much these days, but the man really is. I'd say highly recommended but it's Tchaikovsky so that's a given.

Good morning! Sat in the garden enjoying the morning sunshine with a mug of tea and Real Tigers (Slough House 3) by Mick Herron. I *really* love these books, so well written, even poetic, peopled by the morally grey. Herron is a worthy le Carré heir

Good morning young Womble! Today I shall be finishing The City of Last Chances, first book in The Tyrant Philosophers by the inimitable Adrian Tchaikovsky. Not my usual cuppa char - I'm not a big fantasy reader - but it's outstanding. Top notch world building.

Good morning! Today I'm reading the most recently added book on my TBR 2025 Challenge: Karla's Choice, by Nick Harkaway. I'm a big le Carré fan, so was a bit dubious, fearing pastiche or parody, but it's really not bad at all, a worthy continuation that I'm enjoying a lot.

What-ho, Womble! Bit lurgified at the moment so having a quiet day cracking on with the TBR Challenge 2025. Reading my oldest book entry: Jamaica Inn, du Maurier's deliciously dark, gothic tale of deepest Cornwall. Bit melodramatic for my tastes but can't believe I've never read it before.

Morning! Currently reading the outstanding The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley. Loved every Pulley I've read and this genre-busting time travel alt-history is no exception. A late entry for Book of the Year.
