What a gripping, heart wrenching novel from Charlotte McConaghy. Glad I decided to lug it with me over to Italy. Unforgettable. Brilliant.

Oh my gosh, what a book.
When I first started reading Christopher Bollen's HAVOC, I thought someone foisted this Bertie-Wooster-like delight onto me as a thriller. But then it became Jeeves meets American Psycho, and I truly became smitten.
I absolutely LOVE this deliciously dark, dark book.

Last week I read a brand-new book that was so awful I was afraid I wouldn't read again. Then I picked up THE NIGHT GUEST by Hidur Knútsdóttir and it saved me. An absolute ace of a thriller/horror like nothing else out there. @hildur.bsky.social

Over the years I have been gifted some pretty incredible fan art. This is one of my favorites. Mad praise for whoever created this.

I love my cat so much. But to be honest, nobody else does; she’s such a prick, so I totally get it. This is the most important work pets can do for our souls.

A very small victory: In the past 18 months, Lufthansa has lost my luggage on two out of two flights. Dealing with them was utterly exhausting; like their strategy is totally based on getting people to give up. My foul mouth and I have finally prevailed. Go to hell, Lufthansa. Don’t bring luggage.

I’m so happy to welcome all the new people here. I will always be grateful to the person (whom I’m a ridiculous fanboy of) who sent me an invite code way back when. JSYK. I have undocumented friends. I will go to the streets for them. I post pictures and stuff about books and music. And my mean cat.

One of the things that helped me get through this weekend was a re-reading Andrew Smith's Grasshopper Jungle. I'm so in love with his books. Thanks @marburyjack.bsky.social!

I’m a big fan of Helen Oyeyemi. Nobody (NOBODY!!!) writes like she does.
This book is absolutely perfect. Pure joy, immersive, funny as all hell. PARASOL AGAINST THE AXE by Helen Oyeyemi. My favorite book of 2024 so far, and my favorite Oyeyemi novel. *chef’s kiss*
