This is a thread of the books I've read and enjoyed in 2025. Reviews of every book I've reviewed in 2025 can be found on my blog, I Read, Therefore I Blog here: ireadthereforeiblog.com
Capaldi Villain: “If you even think about mutineering against me, son, I will grease the yard arm with your gonads and shove the mainsail up your arse.”

Statham Hero: “Challenge accepted.”

: round house kicks Capaldi is the stomach and the game is fucking on :
It’s a sign that I spend far too much time on social media that I desperately want Peter Capaldi to be the villain in this.
Looks like there is no drag panto scheduled for this year (oh yes there is! Oh no there bloody isn’t) but Charing Cross Theatre is doing an 18+ panto that I am reliably informed is a hoot (and if there is anything a Hooton likes, it’s a good hoot) so have booked a ticket.

LISTEN 🎧: Michael Séance receives a call from a vampire upset at his treatment at the Blood Bank
Should have buried it at sea. Could have weighed it down with some Anchor.
The promoters are cowards if they fail to use The Hues Corporation on the trailer soundtrack.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
Hope you have a great trip, rocogirl! Osaka’s pancakes are amazing.

great joke from @zaltzcricket.bsky.social on the news quiz this week: “statistics are like comedians at the riyadh comedy festival: treat them right and they can be made to say whatever you want them to say”

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.

But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.

Good night.
I did the M&S “which Christmas sandwich is your perfect match?” quiz and it is the laziest piece of shit survey I have ever wasted my time on. Also I got pigs in blankets because I said I liked pigs in blankets. x.wayin.com/display/cont...

Hell yeah you are! That woman was a badass.
Question: I caught a guy on my dashcam who swerved across 3 lanes of traffic on the M25 to take the exit. He narrowly missed another car by a few centimetres and honestly I thought I was going to witness a nasty accident. Is it worth reporting to BTP or a local service and if so where and how?
I keep thinking about the elderly couple who got on my Tube this morning. They sat together and the woman took a book out and started reading. After a few minutes the man started to speak to her and she said “No. I have heard all your thoughts and want a story I have never heard before”.
