Well that was a bit of a week. Surprisingly so. I went to an RTS even about staging Eurovision (which was fascinating), a weekend in London for a house party (which was fabulous) and a morning at the dentist (which was horrid). And that last meant that I definitely treated myself to reading some of the new romances I had waiting on the shelf. And I also treated myself to two new houseplants. But I’m meant to be telling about about the books, not about my growing plant acquisition problem. I think I know what I’m writing about tomorrow. I think. But there are several options which is always a nice position to be in!

One ebook bought – and I should have had two preorders arrive (the new Andrew Cartmel and the new Rivers of London) except that wherever Amazon think they delivered it to, it definitely wasn’t my letterbox…
Bonus photo: making a change from houseplant photos, here’s Olympic park from the Elizabeth Line on a very hot and sunny Saturday.
