I forgot to update again but I’ve just finished this and it was stunning. Poetic and harsh and harrowing and dark and funny and beautiful. (⬆️You can see here why I don’t write reviews!!) All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld #booksky #reading #bookworm

Brilliant. Loved it! Next up, sadly the last of the Jim Daley catalogue: Last Orders by Denzil Meyrick #booksky #books

Change of plan. Ahead of my imminent trip to Greece: Little Infamies by Panos Karnezis #booksky #literature

I'd love you to have a wee read of an article I wrote about my retreat into silent meditation last week. Maybe on your next coffee break? ☕️ 📖 🙏 #reading #booksky #meditation #wellbeing www.holmesvoice.co.uk/post/the-ben...

Not up next but arrived today and looking forward to it!

I’ve been away on a Silent Retreat for a week. NON-FICTION: I read The God Desire by David Baddiel I read How to Solve Our Human Problems (again) I started/dipped in and out of The New Meditation Handbook (both by G. K. Gyatso) #booksky #books

I’ve been away on a Silent Retreat for a week. FICTION: I finished Small Pleasures. I finished There are Rivers in the Sky by Elin Shafak. I have started Butchers Crossing by John Williams (thanks to a recommendation on here). #booksky #reading #literature

The Notebook trilogy was staggering. Truly beautiful. If you liked it, you may also love Ghost Mountain by Rónán Hession for its similar simplicity & reportage style. Next up: Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers #booksky #reading #fiction

So much I could say about All Fours. Deeply affecting and I feel a little reformatted by it. Next up: 1 or 3 of this trio #booksky #reading #literature

I just had to pop on here and say there is a beautiful wee passage on p37-38 of All Fours on parenthood & childhood. That is all. Page 39 awaits. #booksky #reading

Perfection earned one of my sought-after stamps on the inside cover… enough said! Next up: All Fours by Miranda July #booksky #reading

I forgot to update. Now on: Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico #booksky #reading

Ok. Time for a brain-refresh. Next up: In a House of Lies by Ian Rankin #booksky #books #reading

Trust was a very interesting read. Next up: Acts of Desperation by Megan Nolan After reading Ordinary Human Failings, hopes are high! #booksky #reading #books
