30 odd pages into my first book of 2025, we've got a character surely named after St Mirren (and Falkirk) legend Peter Godfrey and a very amusing dig at the Kingdom of Fife. Well played @brookmyre.bsky.social , well played.

I think these books would make a perfect pair under a Christmas tree this year so to make this come true for somebody it's time for a festive giveaway!

Repost, like and follow for the chance to win a signed copy of both books. Winner chosen at random at 11am Monday 16 December. UK only. Good luck!

Cumbernauld Library's author of the month...the honour every Scottish author is fighting over (well they should be)...
Cumbernauld Library's hallowed Scottish Author of the Month is JD Kirk. Most of them have gone out in a matter of minutes, which means JD has already earned himself enough money to buy a BnB in the highlands for really funny murder mystery parties. @jdkirk.bsky.social #CumbernauldLibrary

Librarians, parents, teachers! You’ll be swamped with Wicked book requests. BUT the 📖 is very different from the📽️ & contains mature content unsuitable for kids ⚠️So here are some kid-friendly, witchy recs to go with their fave songs. Why not put on a wickedly cool shelf? 👀✨👇🏽

Great turnout for Concrete Dreams in Cumbernauld Library on a cold and wintery night. There really is nothing quite like Cumbernauld town centre...

Looking forward to our Concrete Dreams event on Saturday night, Cumbernauld Library is going to be rocking!
A nice display in Cumbernauld Library for Saturday's launch of Concrete Dreams. It looks snazzy. A real blast from the past, etc.

#librarylife today is less bookish and more administrative. Getting Bookbug bags to the whole of North Lanarkshire is quite the challenge!
