Gearing myself up for a #BondFest with these two! Loved @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social #QuantumOfMenace so excited to dive back into Q's world. Think #KingZero by Bond fan @charliehigson.bsky.social will be enormous fun too! #BookSky💙📚
This series just gets better and better! Another brilliant addition to @allangaw.bsky.social Jack Cuthbert series. Always blown away by how Gaw addresses important themes in such a slim page count, & loved the reveal of Madame Smith's backstory centred on wartime Belgium. Roll on book 6 👏

If you've never read #OlivierNorek before this is a great place to start! It's emotive, beautifully structured with great characterisation & I was transfixed from start to end. A perfect murder mystery with emotional heft. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Très magnifique! @openborderspress.bsky.social #BookSky💙📚
