Next up. Never read a Pratchett before. Always passed me by. Pleased to say eighty pages in and we're getting on like a house on fire 😊🪄#pratchett

Next read. A lend from a friend at my writing group. Had it on my hit list. Enjoying it so far. "Mean Girls" and "Easy A" vibes #bunny

Bit leftfield for me, but a friend in my writing group recommended it. At least it's a standalone, so I don't have to commit to a long, drawn out saga 😆#meyer

Next read. Interesting tale about a puritanical community trying to rebuild in the wake of a global disaster. Radiation-induced mutations in animals, crops, and people are purged. But then some of the town's children develop a telepathic mutation and a will to survive 📚#wyndham

Next up. A lend from a friend. He said it was good, but he looked conflicted, so not sure what to expect 😆#willself

Going chart for my next read. Everyone I know seems to be on with it. Some standout lines so far: "The only way to learn is to live" 😊 #midnightlibrary

Apparently, Sunday was World Consumer Rights Day. That was a new one on me! 😂 Wrote a short about it in my writing group. A big shout to the YT for publishing it today: yorkshiretimes.co.uk/articles/The...

Next read. Yet another children’s classic I missed back in the day when Sonic the Hedgehog was taking priority 😅 Beautifully illustrated. And now I know where Pink Floyd got a certain album title #windinthewillows

Next read. Interesting idea — exiling political prisoners to the Precambrian era where they can't cause any trouble. But all I can think of is the butterfly effect, because as Red Dwarf's Holly said, "There's no such thing as small" 🤔#hawksbill

Next read. These aren't so much short stories as episodes in the lives of very strange people! You're thrown in at the deep end, and before you know where you are, you're wrenched straight back out again. Not a problem for me, though. I'm going with it 😆 #thingsyoushouldknow

Well, this was by no means the bag of madness I was expecting from Bob — more a straight, low-key thriller. But it's still a chuckle-a-thon, and his surreal flourishes are there, all right 😆 #satsumacomplex

Just on with this. Having an angry young man phase, despite being 41 and less irritable than usual 😆#sillitoe

Couple of festive vignettes, published on the Yorkshire Times today 🎅🌲🎁 yorkshiretimes.co.uk/articles/A-C... yorkshiretimes.co.uk/articles/Mr-...

Good bit of weekend reading. Some cutting lines along the way: "Not finding yourself at the age of thirty-four is a disgrace", "A man who can't handle tools is not a man" - oof! #arthurmiller

Next read. Particularly interested in the article "The imagination of disaster" 😀 #sontag

Latest article published on Yorkshire Times. The joy of the Hallmark movie 😆 #hallmark yorkshiretimes.co.uk/article/Hall...

Next read. This one's been calling to me for the past 20 years. Picking it up at last 📚😊#dumas

Next up. A double bill. Enjoyed "Stepford Wives", so thought I'd try a bit more 😊📚#levin

New review published on YT today. For anyone planning on seeing the new JP movie, this is a roundup of all all seven to date 🦖#jurassicpark #TRex yorkshiretimes.co.uk/article/Life...

Next read. Should have read this years ago after my M. R. James phase. Mind you, sack the proofreader on this version 😆#ghosts

My next read, based on what is possibly my fave episode of Star Trek: TOS, "Assignment Earth", about a time-traveling secret agent, Gary 7, and his black cat companion 😊🔫🐈‍⬛ #gary7

Revisiting this. Last dipped into it 20 years ago for uni. Good to be back 😊 #Orwell

Next read, and I swear I didn't buy it simply because it's about a talking black cat 😆🐈‍⬛ #carbonel #barbarasleigh

Latest review published today. Karin Boye's "Kallocain": chimeo.com/article/The-...

Back to classic sci-fi next, and not before time. All I know is there's supposedly a fair bit of Freud in there, and Babylon 5 took some influence from it 🧐#bester #demolishedman

Next read. I've a feeling this will either be very insightful or very pedantic 😆 #shoots&leaves

Next read. And I won't be swimming in the sea beforehand 😆 #jaws

Looking forward to this next, as is my therapist other half 🔍🧐 #batman #psychology

Next read. Been meaning to read this for a while. Then again, if the premise is to be believed, maybe I already have 😂 #forkingpaths

Next read. Bought this for "The Raft" but found it also contains "The Mist", which we're about to watch, and also "Gramma", which I've just learned Harlan Ellison adapted for the Twilight Zone 📚#stephenking
