listening to @tadethompson.bsky.social’s Molly Southbourne when I walked into @greedyreads.bsky.social and found Senaa Ahmad’s Age of Calamities and now 100 pages into that and I’m Wikipediaing Ibn Battuta and how have I not read his stuff or about him?
this how I end up with lots of piles of books

I had been worried that @tadethompson.bsky.social’s Molly Southbourne trilogy would creep me out too much
Finally started it last night
It is indeed creepy af, but honestly in a somehow much cozier way (at least so far) … and is every bit as good as you would expect @tadethompson.bsky.social to be

The Odyssey, Emily Wilson translation.
Just finished Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, next up is either Tade Thompson's The Murders of Molly Southbourne or Carol Bruneau's A Bird in Every Tree, depending on mood.
I try to do a certain amount of TBR backlist reading in at the beginning of the year...

I found the first Clouded Yellow caterpillars of 2026 today on the transect.
Only 2 seen, but clear evidence that they continue to overwinter at Southbourne despite what the British winter weather is throwing at them.

It will certainly be an improvement over what’s there now! I wonder if the community room would be used as a polling place - our current polling place is a similar space at the corner of Southbourne & HPA that currently serves 2 precincts. Lot more folks living in the area these days.

It's a privilege to become an honorary member of Boscombe and Southbourne Rotary Club, especially since they pour so much heart into our local community.

So much missed. Also our most local Bennett's here on Southbourne High Street. Sad to see the jobs go as well.

It's quite the task to actually get onto Southbourne beach. It's generally very deep sand too so you need some sort of mammoth tyre 4x4 like they use in Iceland. Or a tractor like they use to rake the sand.

Loved Inheritance trilogy and Broken Earth even more
The City We Became was a bit more challenging though
She's a fabulous talent, superb prose and the way she weaves social-awareness into her characters and story arcs

Absolutely gorgeous here at the #BeachHut today, reading with my 10-year-old son. He had a conversation with a seal, so close he could count its whiskers! #sea #seaside #Southbourne #Dorset
