I can't recommend this remarkable triumvirate of books enough. The Bone Season novels by @say_shannon are exciting, intriguing and just frankly fantastic reads. Can't wait for Number 4 now.

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

@nwright_12 Good luck. Great to see a happy story. 😀

Having just finished #TheLostOnes by @Ajes74 can I just say what a fabulous book it is. Full of deliciously dark twists and turns, it takes you on a roller coaster ride of mystery and tragedy until the last word leaves you wishing it hadn't ended. A book to treasure.

I now have two copies of The Lost Ones by @Ajes74. I had bought the edition on the right as a reading copy until I got it home and found it to be a limited signed First Edition of 750. This book is definitely next on my reading list - so looking forward to reading it.

@spookypurcell Sounds great. Your books are so good, I don't actually read them straight away. I save them so the gap until the next book won't be so long!

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

After loving The End of the World Running Club, I devoured the follow up in three days. A fabulous book, pacy and full of action, it is a triumph of a post apocalyptic adventure.

@spookypurcell The scene as they walk into the country pub has led to me re-naming several similar pubs I have discovered over the years as The Slaughtered Lamb!

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

Finally read Bone China by @spookypurcell and was not disappointed. A twisting tale that takes you by the hand and leads you with an enigmatic smile into very dark places. Recommended.

Latest parcel of books from Waterstones. My 'To Be Read' list is going to need a whole house, rather than one room at this rate!

Finished the 2nd Writing Course today. Giving myself a break for a few months now whilst I complete a few of my own projects. Exciting times ahead. 😎

Looking back through stories I wrote in the 1990's and found the quote, "Can happiness be someone else's dream?" The wonderful lyrics of Talk Talk have obviously been with me a long time!

@retrospeedway Leeds Fullerton Park - or all the pioneer tracks really. I would have loved to have visited them all, take in the atmosphere and buy all the badges!

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

Some lovely new arrivals for my lockdown reading list. The Hidden People by @Ali__L and The Hooded Man by @PaulKaneShadow have particularly intrigued me.

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

Loved completing the 500 word short story as part of my assignment this morning. With a bit of re-writing, this story could be worth sending off to a competition.

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

@natasha_pulley That book is tucked away in my 'To Be Read' backlog. I may just fast forward it after reading your recommendation. 😎

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

@Ali__L Thanks. Books always make the best presents. :-)

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

Bought this beautiful book by @Ali__L with some of my birthday money. Was also delighted to see it had a signed card inside also. Very much looking forward to reading this book.

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

Very excited to receive these books by @AndrewJRTaylor and @say_shannon which I bought with some of my birthday money. I have loved the previous books in their respective series, and can't wait to immerse myself in these worlds again.

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

@say_shannon I am reading The Bone Season books and loving them. Immersing myself in that world is helping me in these difficult times. They are like a literary oasis I can withdraw to.

[Duncan Gusterson @Dunc_a_Biscuit]

Assignment completed nice and early today. Looking forward to reading and writing short stories over the next 6 weeks of the course and improving my craft.
