Mixing up my reading with these two now, Songlight is from my library, and The Impossible Fortune from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social… I was 70th in line for it and my reservation arrived remarkably quickly!

I promise myself that the next thing I read will not be quite so grim…

Leaning into more unnerving science fiction…

Not sure what to expect from this but I’m going in!

I was strongly recommended this by a couple of folk I work with and I’m glad they did. Cora reminded me so very much of a flatmate of mine from my first year of university…

Moving on to this, I suspect this will be my entertainment for at least the start of the tatty holidays 🙌

Thanks for the loan @falkirklibraries.bsky.social

44 cakes baked for Books and Bakes group tomorrow. Well, technically I made 48 but my kids and their friends persuaded me that they needed to taste test some…

And now this

Finished this yesterday, it’s the next book to be discussed at @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social book group. I think this is yet another example of a book where the cover wildly misrepresents the content…

Now moving onto this, borrowed from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social and I chose this because of an unbelievably strong and persuasive recommendation from a colleague!

One chapter in from this loan from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social
and I think this is going to hurt my head in the same way as To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

Going through my bookshelves at home, deciding which ones to take into work for the staff room book swap. Other School Librarians who spend many hours moving books from home to school and vice versa: I see you!

Now reading this, borrowed from @braeslibrary.bsky.social
Removing the dust jacket always makes for a classier reading experience…

Going to read this now, borrowed it from @braeslibrary.bsky.social 🙌

Borrowed this from my daughter. It’s a choose your own adventure novel, I love the concept! Actually, I love everything about it! I want to have a book group chat about it to see what versions/timelines we all explored…

Really enjoying this book but utterly distracted by the fact @katiekirby.bsky.social threw into her Edinburgh book fest event that sprayed edges are done by hand 🤯
August 22, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Looking forward to this!
August 22, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Spending the evening reading this in prep for tomorrows @redbookawards.bsky.social shortlisting meeting (thanks for the loan @falkirklibraries.bsky.social )
and also watching Katie Kirby talk about her Lottie Brooks books on catch-up from her #EdinburghInternationalBookFestival event on Sunday

Thank you @falkirklibraries.bsky.social #Meadowbank for organising our kids to celebrate the #SummerReadingChallenge in the very best possible way! Love the bell ringing part of today’s ceremony!

Good Neighbours was very well done, and next up will be some Holly Bourne

Loved loved loved Real Americans, just starting The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. In between these I also read the Soup Movement by Ben Davies 🙌
