Hey @seimoon.bsky.social, here’s a potato for you πŸ₯”

Finished reading: The Sentence by Louise Erdrich πŸ“š

This was so much more than a story about a haunting in a bookstore and it took me entirely by surprise. Now I’ve read Erdrich’s two latest novels where shall I go next in her back catalogue?

Starting this seasonal read today: The Sentence by Louise Erdrich πŸ“š

Finished reading: Tokyo Express by Seicho Matsumoto πŸ“š

Enjoyable mystery to solve alongside the detectives. This short book has reset my desire to read after a drought of decent stories.

Finished reading: The Binding by Bridget Collins πŸ“š

Meh. I struggled to get into this, got drawn in a little in the middle but then had to make myself finish it. Not really my cup of tea.

Finished reading: The Bee Sting by Paul Murray πŸ“š

Took too long to get into and by then it was too late to stop reading. It was fine, but not award shortlist level. And can someone explain why the full stops disappeared in Imelda’s story?

Finished reading: Salvation of a Saint by Keigo Higashino πŸ“š

Abandoned reading: Milk Teeth by Jessica Andrews πŸ“š

Just couldn’t get on with the main character. Or the repetition of certain words - not sure if that was intentional or I just became fixated on it.

Bank Holiday fun helping a friend decorate her flat before selling. We were here 8 years ago decorating before she moved in too

Finished reading: The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers πŸ“š

Continuing to work my way through everything Benjamin Myers writes.

it’s a sign

Played a pre-season friendly today - first time I’ve picked up a hockey stick in 5 months. I didn’t embarrass myself and it didn’t break me πŸ‘

back to work tomorrow, head still up the coast

First day back from holiday and it has completely run away from me. Don’t feel like I’ve stopped and yet have little to show for it 😏

had to collect my prints before they were fully dry so we’re not eating at the table the rest of the weekend πŸ˜†
