@timpaa Did you think it was a worthy winner, I enjoyed it but didn't love it. For me there were better books on the shortlist (and indeed the Longlist).
Devastated at the death of Graham Thorpe, an exceptional batsman who played when there was little glory, but who fought for every run. You always felt a win was possible with Thorpey at the crease. Batting in the dusk to beat Pakistan in Karachi, an unforgettable memory.
SZA seems to have sorted her mic out but we still can't really understand a word she is saying, so we've popped the subtitles on. Love the staging & quite like her sound but still feel like there is a lot of autotune on her voice. Also has she banned close ups! #Glastonbury2024
I know people have been a bit disappointed in the @Waterstones sale but I had a lovely morning visiting @PompeyBookshop & Waterstones Petersfield and came home with a fantastic haul That's my Christmas gift cards spent!
@lamia_reads@bookfacejames@RaymondSouthorn Anyway this year seems to be a far smaller sale this year in fact the two stores I've been in today (Portsmouth and Petersfield) haven't got their sale stock marked up yet so I've been pricing to the website. I have managed to get some books I'm very pleased with
@lamia_reads@bookfacejames@RaymondSouthorn Certainly wasn't the case for the 4 stores near me (Portsmouth, Southampton, Chichester & Fareham) I went in and they had some but definitely not all. Seems to be mostly stores in the north that people reported having more Hardbacks half price.
@Brookesbooks18@DayShenanigans Wow bet they got in big trouble! I went to the 3 local to me (Portsmouth, Chichester & Fareham) and got a few bargains but no way was it every hardback..
@Waterstones The half price on every Hardback sale only happened in 2021. Last year it was selected titles same as this year. Whilst I always live in hope that they will do it again, I think it was a post pandemic thing!
