Heard Roddy Doyle extolling the virtues of this and it’s absolutely my kind of book.

I think I need a break from the Booker ….

This Booker list is so surprising. Kafkaesque and I like it !

Back on task …

This is delightful

Non Fiction Audiobook random pick …it’s quite birdy.

Mega controversial take … I am a little bit bored !! I miss The Palm House

Oh let’s just sneak in this while I am on a roll …

Bookclub read for August

Her hair was back-combed and piled up into a great frowsy frizzy, intellectual bush-tower.

What a dialogue masterclass

Lets bing off a quick one ?

Well we have found the hyper-masculine entry, which is not a dis - I like it so far

This one seems more me - gritty give me gritty !

Booker 2026 - lets go ;)

I need to get off this island …

Controversial take …. Ah this is a little bit boring ( ducks down from all the arrows )

July bookclub read and so far it’s as good as I hoped it would be.

Learning stuff … ah it’s stuff I possibly did not need to know.

Let’s try this again, probably going to be some whiplash going from feminist short stories to Incels !

Love this - good pick Ockhams judges

Let’s read this year’s Ockham fiction winner …

This started so well and just meandered its way to an ending I suspect I won’t like

This reminds me alot of Britt Bennett’s “The Vanishing Half” in terms of the dual narrative.

Two bookclubs - same book = happy days.

Not loving this at all, which is weird given how much I liked “A Sunny Place for Shady People”

More short stories!

It’s just the right moment for me for Ali Smith and her mischievous word play.

A delight once again, I can't wait to see where Glyph goes
