The Final Strife was one of my top fantasy reads of last year. If you've not read it, you really should. Then like me you can rush to the shops for The Battle Drum! https://t.co/L2hqZSQb5V

Just finished listening to the @audibleuk audiobook of @garethlpowell’s Light of Impossible Stars, and as with the previous two books all I can say is wow! This is storytelling at its very best. I can’t recommend it enough.

@runalongwomble Morning Womble! Good here, thanks. Hope you're well too. Just finished Beautiful Shining People from @michaelgrothaus, which was excellent. Now onto The Forcing from @Hardisty_Paul. Not sure what to listen to next having just finished @aptshadow's awesome Children of Memory.

Dammit! Forgot to ALT describe that picture. I thought the app was meant to remind me to do that. For reference, it shows a hardback copy of A Heart Full Of Headstones, the latest Rebus novel from Ian Rankin. Waterstones edition and with half price sticker on it.

@SStokesChapman Oh, those look magnificent. I've got an old copy of George Borrow's Wild Wales my dad left me, but nothing as fine as those!
