@runalongwomble Morning! Today I'm enjoying a re-read of Norman Collins' The Husband's Story. Fascinating how my reading of it has changed over the years: I hated Beryl before, but now I feel she's not a monster but trapped by societal mores of her time. Recommended anyway

@runalongwomble Mornin' young Womble! Started on my third or fourth rereading of the Locked Tomb series with Gideon the Ninth. I do so love these books!

@runalongwomble Greetings young Womble. Savoring Arkady Martine's A Desolation Called Peace. Love this series, such a rich well-developed universe peopled with complex characters and situations. Massively recommended!

@bookiesnacksize I had a colonoscopy on Monday, coincidently my birthday. Moaning about the timing, my mum remarked she thought having total strangers shove things up my arse would be pretty much my perfect birthday...

@runalongwomble @EdgeLitDerby @SarahPinborough Not sure I'd trust Sarah Pinborough to do the lottery tbh: will she pull out the winning numbers or will it be a wtf twist you never saw coming but will scar you for years, hmm?

@runalongwomble Morning! Today I'm reading an ARC of We Can Be Heroes, Paul Burston's autobiography. It's excellent, brutally honest, fearless. I actually knew Paul back in the day and I was there at some of the events he writes about, so it's oddly nostalgic too. Lovely chap.

@runalongwomble Morning Runny! Today I'm really enjoying Gentlemen and Players by the always excellent Joanne Harris. A Tom Ripley de nos jours, it's very much recommended

@runalongwomble G'morning young Womble! Cold and rainy here today so I'm escaping to Maine with John Connolly and Charlie Parker in A Time of Torment. Love love love this series, so beautifully written, an absolute favourite

@whiskeyrich @bookiesnacksize When I came out to my parents, they subtly tried to matchmake me with a doctor Dad worked with. When I worked out what was going on I complained that, tho perfectly pleasant, the man had no personality. Mum replied "Darling, he's a *consultant* - just get him to buy one you like"

@runalongwomble Hello young Womble! Terribly late to the party but currently reading Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth. Goodness, it's jolly good isn't it? Immensely enjoyable.

[Bunniboiler @bunniboiler]

@runalongwomble Good morning young Womble! Today I'm reading Case Histories and it's excellent. Been too long since I read any Kate Atkinson and forgotten how sublime her use of language is. Just wonderful.

[Bunniboiler @bunniboiler]

@runalongwomble Happy New Year, dear Womble. I'm reading The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton atm, so starting 2023 confused as fuck and admiring the cleverness while being unsure how much I actually like it. Which sounds like a metaphor for life in general these days tbh.

@runalongwomble Good morning Runny! Today I'm reading Dog Rose Dirt. I was going to say it's excellent but it's by Jen Williams so how could it be otherwise? Enjoying it immensely.

I *know* the country's an international laughing stock and people are really suffering thanks to the incompetents in government, but I love that I got this news via a text from my brother saying "The lettuce lasted longer"

@runalongwomble Buongiorno Womble! Came across a complete collection of the Wexford novels, so I'm steadily ploughing through them. Currently on sixth: No More Dying Then. Tbh they've not worn well at all, some well dodgy character attitudes. Hopefully that'll improve as they get more recent

[Bunniboiler @bunniboiler]

@runalongwomble Good morning young Womble! Today I'll be cracking on with the second Gentleman Bastards book, Red Seas Under Red Skies. Really enjoyed The Lies of Locke Lamora so have high hopes for further picaresque shenanigans.
