Lovely! Muddy, lyrical, informative, and just a throughly interesting travelogue, cum pilgrimage guide cum the best places to buy snacks when on a long walk book! @history_alice you have done Eleanor proud! #booksof25 #readintwosittings

This is a brilliant series..part fantasy, part crime noir, where magic has died and all the magical creatures have lost their powers..Fetch Philips is a brilliant creation,private eye and lost soul in equal measure and I heartily recommend this and all the others! #booksof25

A gentle paranormal cosy crime read. Just right for a grey day under a blanket in October. The star of the show The Crooked Tome a bookshop with real personality! #booksof2025 #Crooksthebookshop #magic

I found this endlessly insightful, entertaining and comprehensive. A well researched dive into the aristocracy of today how they are, who they are, what they are and where they are all through the prism of the last 100 years or so. Loved it! #booksof24 @brushingboots

I love a series..like putting on a well loved jumper and relaxing..another excellent episode in the adventures of Juno. #booksof 25 #nextoneplease

Oh this is fab! And this is too short a platform to do it justice! If you love fab world building (Engravers! Leviathans! Empire!) But also a brill whodunnit (and how is extraordinary..never look at a bit of grass in same way!). Then this is the book for you! @robertjbennett

Thoroughly researched and written at a cracking pace this is a great read from @TracyBorman . It is safe to say Eliz 1st was a canny player in this game of thrones. And although James was perhaps the obvious choice, wiser heads than mine can argue if he was the best! #booksof25

Another satisfying read from @evagatesauthor must admit that Charles the cat must be a favourite character and is a most discerning judge of character! #cosycrime #booksof25

Brilliant fun this! Sunshine in Italy with an author on a publicity tour which might just be her last. #footnotesaregood #dolcevita #booksof25

I found this so moving, E A. Hanks daughter of Tom but also of Susan embarks on a road trip along Highway 10 to try and understand her complicated relationship with her mother and herself and her country. Part travelogue, part memoir it is a trip worth taking! @GalleryBooks

Occupational hazard writ large..when two books arrive but don't quite make it to the shopfloor! Can't wait to get stuck in.. #booksellerlifeforme #fediddlydee @TracyBorman @brushingboots

This series is a continuing favourite and Richard is not so hapless it seems(harassed perhaps but not hapless!)and when an international boules (petanque!)team come to town and the Mayor is found dead, he has to bring all his skills to bear. Fab!!@IanMooreAuthor #thedog/carkey😁

Leaving this right here..the joy of this series! And Stone and Sky a brilliant, welcome Scottish addition! @Ben_Aaronovitch #Petergoesnorth #withwholefamily #andNightingale #andfoxes

This little series has me rather hooked! Book 4 on it's way! Well written with a likeable lead and the delights of Devon (apart from the murder! ) explored!

This could have been subtitled "When Aristocrats Go Bad", gossipy and full of tidbits the curtain is lifted on three aristocratic households and some of their worse progeny. Brilliant stuff! #booksof25

Kind of feel that this is the Japanese version of Poirot..Kosuke Kindaichi is not as neat or such a prima Donna as our Belgian friend but he is a excellent creation and an insight into Japenese culture of the mid 20th century is intriguing! #booksof25 #detecting

Nice series this..really enjoy the location and Juno the main protagonist is just brill. Fiesty and forthright with a heart of gold! #reading #murdermystery

Really enjoyed this..no longer Venice but the delights of Sicily...particurlaly loved Nedda, we hope for more Nedda and her father, motorbike, life in Sicily..will you oblige @PGJonesVenice? #loveanewseriesfromafaveauthor #MtEtnaeruptstoo

Fascinating, chilling and expertly written, this true crime exploration of what happened at 10 Rillington Place is excellent. Kate Summerscale explores the time, the place and the impact of the press but also the impact on the victim's families.
