I have spent some time updating bethreadscrime.com. I have improved the tags, browsing by tags and added in a Standout Read highlight on reviews of my favourite books, as I'm not a fan of ratings systems! If you don't want to miss any of my reviews/events coverage then subs are much appreciated ☺️

During our morning dog walk we came across lots of people enjoying a Laurel and Hardy performance in the park, donned in fez's and leis and dancing along. So cute! Turns out there's a fan conference in town www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's camping season again! I'm reading @jenniegauthor.bsky.social's The List of Suspicious Things for a buddy read – which is so nostalgic and Yorkshire and has me highlighting things like corned beef hash! Also reading @chrisbridgeswriter.bsky.social's debut Sick to Death – that second half 👀
