September reading wrap-up. Audiobooks always dominate Sept and Oct because of musicals & lots of driving. #BookSky 📚💙

A collage of book covers with the following titles: I'll Have What He's Having, Felix Navidad, The River Has Roots, Just Mercy, Arsenio: A Memoir, The Charm Offensive, John of John, How My Alien Boyfriend Learned to Cook, The Book Witch, and Brigands and Breadknives.

A reading summary showing. Number of pages, types of books, styles and average ratings for the month.

A HUGE shoutout to @libro.fm & their help desk. I sent a help request this morning regarding a double soundtrack for a short bit in the book I was listening to, and an actual person has responded in under 4 hours! Best way to listen to your #Audiobooks! 🎧📚💙

For those who don't have FB - screenshots of her lovely tribute.

It's Peter May's wife, Janice. I have to convey the most awful news. Peter has died. I have no words to express the loss, so l enclose here the statement from his long term publisher and dear friend, Jon Riley, who pays tribute:
riverrun, an imprint of the John Murray Group, has announced the sad news of the death of the Sunday Times bestselling Scottish crime writer Peter May, on Friday night at his holiday home in the south of France.
Peter May was one of the most popular, and loved writers of crime fiction of his generation, and his books have sold around 15 million copies around the world. The novel which he had announced would be his last, Island of the Dead, is to be published in January 2027.

May began his career as a journalist in Scotland, winning Young Journalist of the Year aged twenty-one, and published his first novel, The Reporter in 1976, at the age of twenty-six. After it was adapted as a BBC drama series, he quit journalism for television, and in the fifteen years that followed he became a successful scriptwriter and producer on two seminal series, Take the High Road and the Gaelic-language, Isle of Lewis-set Machair. It was while working on location on Machair, that his love for the Hebrides, which informed and influenced so much of his writing formed.

He returned to fiction with a series of China-set thrillers, which was followed by the French-set Enzo Files, both of which featured characters who reflected his growing interest in forensic science.
However, it was the publication of the Lewis-set thriller The Blackhouse in 2011, that brought international fame, and bestselling success, and resulted in The Lewis Trilogy. He published a bestseller almost every year between The Blackhouse and his last book, The Black Loch in 2024.
His writing will always be associated with the Isle of Lewis, and the Hebrides.
Peter published twenty-six books with Quercus, and his workwas hugely successful in his adopted homeland of France, where his work garlanded many prestigious literary awards.
Peter was a talented musician, and in 2025 he released a CD; Towards the Light, which reflected in song many of his interests as a novelist.

A cozy mystery with a story within a story that is a book lover's hug. My favorite line: "Those who loved books & those who wanted to ban them had one single thing in common: we all believe reading a book can change you." 4⭐️ #BookSky 🎧📚💙 #Audiobooks

My #Pizza hot take: A homemade crust and a sauce that uses tomatoes & garlic from a farm less than 10 miles away guarantees a delicious pizza, even if the fancy, expensive cheese isn't used. Spices are sprinkled on the crust; sauce is only grated tomatoes, garlic & olive oil.

A bowl of grated tomatoes with garlic and olive oil sits next to a bottle of Spanish olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and rosemary.
