Reading 2025 #35 I read this book by Jenny Graham with my jaw permanently on the floor. She cycled round the world, totally unsupported, sometimes sleeping by the side of the road, in her attempt to break the world record. Really inspirational read (and very funny 😁 )

Reading 2025 #34 Some vintage Sci fi from the Strugatsky brothers. A computer programmer ends up working for a magic institute in the Soviet era. Very funny - reminded me of the Unseen University in the Discworld novels.

2025 Reading #33 This book is based on a blog by a former Staffordshire policeman. I didn't agree with many of PC David Copperfield's views, particularly about arming householders, but the book was very entertaining.

Reading 2025 #29 Loved this book by Diccon Bewes all about the Swiss. Definitely planning a future visit to Switzerland. I enjoyed this book so much that I looked up the author online, only to find that he died of cancer a few months ago. A real loss to travel writing.

Reading 2025 #25-27: Holiday reading. We were travelling from Edinburgh to Denmark by train so plenty of time for reading. I had a total @cjtudor.bsky.social fest, and read The Gathering, The Taking of Annie Thorne, and The Other People. All fab.

Reading 2025 #24: Bought this book by Al Murray (AKA The Pub Landlord) sort of by mistake. I thought it was going to be funny but it was a dead serious historical look at leadership in WW2. Still a very good read though!

Reading 2025 #23: Another instalment in the adventures of Shona McMonagle from @olgawojtas.bsky.social This time Shona is under cover in the city of Venice, investigating strange goings-on amongst the gondoliers. Hilarious.

Reading 2025 #22: Thoroughly enjoyed this tale of two sisters from Sue Lawrence. Switching between WW1 and WW2 there were lots of secrets slowly revealed. Absorbing.

Reading 2025 #21 One of my favourite sub-genres is crime fiction set in a slightly off kilter version of our reality. Loved this serial killer police novel by @stuartmacbride.bsky.social set in a world where criminals are lobotomised, and people get infected with VR viruses...

Reading 2025 #20: Excellent slice of horror from @paultremblay.bsky.social If you think your daughter is experiencing a demonic possession, is signing up for a reality TV show really the way to go? Highly recommend this book
