The garden is teeming with birds today, I caught this blackbird having a rest after eating his fill from the feeder (the ever vigilant robin must have been occupied elsewhere) #birdsky #yorkshire

A fabulous mystery told in four parts, each involving strange pictures that hide a truth. A very different whodunnit from what I’m used to, but incredibly enjoyable to examine and guess along.i look forward to Uketsu’s next book ‘Strange Houses’. 💙📚 #booksky @pushkinpress.com

My first read from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social The Northern Weird Project. After the loss of their child, Simon and Priya take refuge in a rundown cottage in North Yorkshire, events get progressively stranger as they find it impossible to leave. I loved this novella, hooked immediately. 💙📚 #booksky

Set in the wild and remote landscape of the rural English north, Margot and her Mama live an isolated life, feeding on the strays they find, until one becomes a permanent fixture and changes their lives forever. Themes of abuse and cannibalism, family dynamics. A gripping page turner 💙📚 #booksky

‘Crimson’, also released as ‘Last Night in Nuuk’ tells the intertwined stories of five friends in Greenland’s capital, each story revolves around a single, drunken night that led to consequences, some good, some bad. Themes of queerness and gender identity and modern friendship 5 stars 💙📚 #booksky

Sloane and Naomi are Best Friends Forever; a long weekend away and an enigmatic group of strangers put their friendship to the test. A vampire novel, interwoven with the trials and tests of female friendship - wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed this one 💙📚 #booksky #vampires @titanbooks.bsky.social

There was absolute silence in #theatreroyalyork last night as Gary Oldman took the stage. A full house for a moving performance of Beckett’s ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’. I was spellbound for 55 minutes as he transported us to that attic room with him.

So excited for tonight’s theatre: Gary Oldman performing Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett. Oldman is returning to The Theatre Royal, York, where he made his acting debut in 1979. #theatre #york #krappslasttape

Piglet’s carefully ordered and planned life dissolves in to mania when her finances confesses a betrayal to her thirteen days before their wedding. Beautiful descriptions of food and cooking are abound, but so is disorder eating. Food and friendship vie with greed and untruths 💙📚 #booksky

A village in the Silesian Mountains dedicated to the treatment of Tuberculosis; an eclectic group staying at Herr Opitz’s Guesthouse for Gentlemen and an unrelenting sense of doom, not limited to the poor and fragile health of the occupants. A wonderful and tense read 💙📚 #booksky #folkhorror

Laughs aplenty at this explicitly funny play, I now understand why they emailed me to say the age rating had been changed to 18! I can imagine there’ll be some awkward conversations after this one. Loved it. #theunicorn #garricktheatre #london #westend #play

Another trip to London, we’re to see ‘The Unicorn’ at the Garrick Theatre tonight. Starting ‘The Empusium’ by Olga Tokarczuk on my train journey, I very much enjoyed ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead’. #fitzcarraldo 💙📚 #booksky #horror #horrorreading

Another 5⭐️ book by Nat Cassidy. ‘When the Wolf Comes Home’ takes complicated familial and social themes and emotions and expresses them through the fantastical; with the help of fairy stories and lots of gore. A true horror for one’s humanity. The afterword is a must. 💙📚 #booksky

A nice day in the garden in Yorkshire. After moving in almost a year ago, we’re ready to finally start planting.

A wonderful performance of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ at #grandoperahouseyork last night. The acting is intentionally “hammy”, comedic moments in with the drama. The set design is phenomenal, with the stage truly turned in to the carriages - magical viewing #theatre #york #ATG

I don’t know what it is about the #dreamharbour series. I bought the first for that #gilmoregirls nostalgia and now I’m hooked. Book 4 was more of the same, small town misunderstanding and romance (with lots of sex). Perfect escapism for 300+ pages. 💙📚 #booksky #gilmore

www.leedsplayhouse.org.uk/event/animal... An absolutely stunning bit of theatre: cast, script and stage were all superb. Very prescient or maybe an historical recurrence- the names of the ideologies may change, but the actions and results are the same. #theatresky #animalfarm #orwell #politics

“The Night Guest,” by @hildur.bsky.social took about an hour to read, with its teeny tiny chapters and lean, mean prose, and is a novella that can only be described as bingeable. Those who pick it up, may not be able to sleep… a small mercy. @lordtbrffa.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-the-n...

Wow. A post climate disaster apocalyptic novel, with no food, water or safety, a young woman seeks shelter within the walls of the Sacred Sisterhood, yearning for Enlightenment & hoping to avoid punishment. This book is brutal & dark. It will stay with me.💙📚 #booksky #theunworthy @pushkinpress.com

The problem with ‘X’ - it wasn’t the rage baiting and trolling - it was the fucking TEMU adds, the bots and the weird follows/messages, it made anything worth reading a painful experience. I am more than capable of reading a dissenting opinion and not being “triggered”. #twitter #X #bots

A slow paced, but exquisite Japanese crime novel from 1958. Two bodies are found on a beach, suicide is presumed, but a young detective from Tokyo is not so sure. This is my second novel from Seichō Matsumoto, his attention to detail and description is sublime. 💙📚 #booksky

‘That’ll Teach Her’ by Maz Evans - a lighthearted (!) murder mystery that will have you attempting to solve the crime with the help of the parents’ the group chat. A fun read that will keep you guessing.

A wonderful nonfiction read. Explores the history of houses in film, literature and real life; how superstition can be attached to architecture and how architecture can affect our lives and perceptions. 💙📚 #booksky

HELP NEEDED - CHRONIC ILLNESS Are there any young adults (UK) with a #chronicillness ( #cysticfibrosis in this case) who know how to carry and explain your #medication in a pub/club bouncer scenario? My son is having issues about his #Creon pills that he needs to consume food and some drinks.
