Yeah, similar really. We're a bit lucky over here though in that you can build a mammoth library of really great books, classics and contemporary, on 99p monthly and daily deals. I've got more than I'll ever get through and still find myself buying them but it has to be something really...

November 2024 Cracking month, some real belters. Book 66: Delia Owens - Where the Crawdads Sing Mrs Moore recommended the movie and Mr Moore Snr recommended the book so, I finally got around to it and I loved it. The sad life of a marsh girl in North Carolina faces a family that deserts her...

New Muriel Grossmann coming. https://www.rrgemsrecords.com/product/pre-order-muriel-grossmann-the-light-of-the-mind-rrgems18

I picked this up on a Kindle 99p daily deal a few days back. Looking forward to it, it's had great reviews. If you get a taste for the place and period and you haven't read it already, I can't recommend Milkman enough. It's a fiction but with The Troubles as the backdrop and Burns captures...

I loved this so much. Tragic but outstanding reading.

October 2024 Book 60: Stephen King - The Dead Zone King really can tell a great story but, disappointingly following The Stand, I found the quality of writing in this one really piss-poor. His descriptive writing felt like it was straight from a high-schooler's English exercise, the dialogue...

Definitely incorporating, not sure if there will be another one at the other location too. https://efglondonjazzfestival.org.uk/events/the-official-blue-note-records-pop-up-store

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. It was just what I needed at the time. I found the gaming stuff interesting and the ‘will they, won’t they?’ aspect of the relationship was right up my romcom loving alley.

September 2024 Book 53: Rebecca F. Kuang - Yellowface Interesting read about race bias in the publishing industry. Following a friend's death a writer steals her manuscript, rewrites it and finds publishing glory. Eventually, claims of plagiarism abound and June's (now Juniper) life starts to...

I bought this one off the back of Light Perpetual which I loved. Haven’t got around to it yet but looking forward to it.

If you wanted to buy a Sam Cooke album, where would you go?

Spiritland King's Cross has a sound system to die for with music from all flavours played. Here's the food and drink menu, some nice takes on the Negroni (I'm sure they'll knock you up a standard version if you asked) and half decent wines available by the glass or bottle. Very accessible part...

£68.99 for the 7 Disc Nick Cave B Sides & Rarities box on Amazon UK this morning.

I seem to remember they only waived customs on orders up to £135 so possibly a big order gets stung?
