There are TOO MANY books piled randomly in my house and I do not have the time or inclination to do a full re-sprt right now, as necessary as it is.

I don't want to read a book written by AI. I don't want to read a book half written by AI. I don't want to read a book narrated by AI. I don't want to read a book with an AI cover. I don't want to read a book written by somebody who supports AI.

💙📚 Book 49 of 2025: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ii can't pinpoint why I didn't like this one as much as A House with Good Bones, but something left me unsatisfied with it. Still enjoyed it though, one more to go!

💙📚 Book 48 of 2025: We Solve Murders by Richard Osman ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very similar to Thursday Murder Club in style, but think I preferred TMC overall. Still very good though! Looking forward to TMC5 later this year.

💙📚 Book 47 of 2025: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bought on @becadreads.bsky.social's recommendation (admittedly months ago) and didn't disappoint. Great pacing and twists, thought the flashback elements really fleshed out the story as well as the main character.

💙📚 Book 46 of 2025: A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Had to squeeze in a horror read for October, found that much easier to read after a very in-depth fantasy. Taking a few paperbacks with me for a week away next but will do the other two accompanying Evernight editions on my return!

💙📚 Book 45 of 2025: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elite, top tier fantasy. Brilliant characters, great setting, wonderfully built world, just a genuine 10/10. Go read it. Need to pick up the sequels in the new year.

💙📚 Book 44 of 2025: Three Shattered Souls by Mai Corland ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Have to say, I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the first two, but I think that's just life's fault for being busy and taking ages to read it as a result 😅 fun end to the series nonetheless, keen to see what Mai writes next!

💙📚 Book 43 of 2025: Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Had fun with this, I liked a lot of the world ideas more than the plot itself, so hoping the sequel (which I'll now have to get on with buying) picks up more of the bits I enjoyed from this one.

Book 42 of 2025: Murder Mindfully by Karsten Dusse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Absolutely loved this and it genuinely had some good tips (on mindfulness not murder). I don't know if there's a sequel planned - or already released - but I'd love there to be more. Great as a self-contained story though.

Gonna go big on series for 2026 and knock some big dents in the TBR. - Farseer - Empire of the Vampire - Throne of Glass - Bone Season - Indian Lake - Aelfyn Archives - Between Earth and Sky And then we'll see what fits in between! Definitely gonna need some crime in there 😅

Who would have ever guessed that I didn't end up sticking to the plan? Pre-emptive September plan! - Finish whichever of my two paperbacks I choose on holiday - Maybe the other one time dependent - Blood of Hercules before the sequel releases - Three Shattered Souls - Let's say The Martian again
