Such a wonderful book - and so delightfully different from the film, particularly in its ending. And there is a shortage of perfect endings in this world.

I'm on an old Morse novel, and very good it is too. And the Inspector gets a lot more sex in print than John Thaw managed on TV...

Oh, and I'm half way through reading Walking Practice by Dolki Min

It's an utterly bizarre and engaging novel about a creature that stalks the Internet on sites like fab looking for people to eat.

I bought mystery book package at Christmas from a National Trust property. One was 'Pure' by Andrew Miller which I'm trying to read but am not sure about yet. The other started with someone having been buried alive, bound hand and foot which gave me such horrors within two pages that I immediately put it in the 'for donation' bag.

The package also contained a nice bookmark and a sachet of hot chocolate which for the princely sum of two quid was an absolute bargain

Mystery books can be life changing or... not so much.

When I used to frequent the library…

(Back before my job stole my life 🙄) I would select my books & always take a random from the shelves next to the checkout. I found some new authors & genres. And some stinkers 🤣

I buy second hand from World of Books, and their 4 for 3 offer gets me some... unusual choices sometimes.

I've just started watching "Could you survive? With Creek Stewart" on Prime about people in perilous situations. It's hilarious. Not because of their peril but his suggestions about how they could save themselves

I tried to read Dune years ago and couldn't finish it. Despite that I'm reading a book about the making of one of the film versions

Picked it up in the morning and finished it that evening. It's rare to find a book like that.

Cold Water by Dave Hutchinson. It's part of his fractured Europe series. Near future espionage in a world where Europe has fallen apart with hundreds of mini states, hard borders and hard people. So far so good.

It was my month to choose a book for (one of) my book groups and I panicked and went for a YA love story because February has Valentines Day and it feels right.

So I'm reading Gwen and Art Are Not In Love by Lex Croucher.

But I'm also listening to an audiobook - Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston.

Watch-wise, I’m giving series three of Slow Horses a vigorous seeing to right now. In terms of audiobooks, my ears are being dry humped by Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Service Model. Gotta love a bit of sci-fi aural debauchery. For paper fetishists, my bit on the side is a biography of metaphysical poet and all-round bad boy John Donne. Absolute filth.

I highly recommend Babylon Berlin. It's set in the late 20's/early 30's Berlin. I dare anyone to not love the club scenes. Oh I'm in love with Charlotte.
