You know a book is good when you find yourself just standing reading in the middle of your bathroom because you couldn't put it down long enough to brush your teeth for bed (in this case @nisishawl.bsky.social 's latest #sci-fi, Making Amends). #booksky #readabook #bookrec

BlueSky is a challenge for longer thoughts and book reviews. I’m trying Substack, though I’m not sure how to really build a following there. It’s a free blog, not monetising it so give me a follow! brianreadsbooks.substack.com
