In which our heroine attempts to tame the to-read pile
I am now up to date on a lot of my regular series, and others have wrapped themselves up – so I’m in the market for some more murder mystery recommendations! I’m particularly enjoying series written in or set in the early 1990s – see the Mitchell and Markby re-read, Goldy Schulz and similar – and I’d love more historicals set in times that aren’t between the wars. So please to let me know in the comments if you have anything!
I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend and that your Sunday is as sunny as mine!
Have an amazing day everyone! I shall mostly be eating Easter eggs and reading books…
Welcome to 2025 everyone. I don’t know how all of your 2024s were in the non-reading sense, but mine was distinctly mixed. There were some very definite highs – with big exciting moments in the family – but also quite a lot of funerals too. So here’s to the new year being filled with good things and happiness as well as good books to read. So far it’s started with a massive rain storm, so maybe it’s trying to wash the slate clean for a fresh start?!
I hope you have time to relax today and plenty of leftovers. And a puzzle or a game. As you can see, I d finished the Miss Marple jigsaw already, so I might have to start on another one…
If you’re celebrating, I hope you have a good one. If you’re not celebrating, I hope you have a good day. And if you’re not celebrating because you’re working, thank you for what you’re doing so that other people don’t have to!
You all know I saw this three times at the Barbican this summer, so it’s my duty to report that they recorded the revival of Kiss Me, Kate and it’s coming to cinemas from today (17th November) and I am in fact going to see it, in my local indie today because a) I loved it and b) I want to see how it comes across on screen. It’s one of those event-cinema releases, so the dates may vary (the cinema where I’m seeing it is only showing it twice a couple of days apart at the moment) and you may need to look at either an indie or a larger multiplex cinema, but hopefully if you want to see it you’ll be able to find it.
Back next week. I promise.
I promise normal service will return soon, but my brain is still recovering from Thursday night, my sleep is out of whack. England needed penalties to get through to the semi finals of EURO 2024 last night and it’s the British Grand Prix just down the road from me today. And that’s not even mentioning the MotoGP, the Tour de France and Wimbledon. Plus the fact that I have to run around the park today because I’m doing the Race for Life next weekend. Back tomorrow…
Wet and rainy Westminster at 6.30 this morning on my way home to bed. Normal service will be resumed when I’m back on normal time!
