Currently reading (the racism is sickening but the characters are amazing):

I just read THE SEVEN DIALS MYSTERY by Agatha Christie (1929). Like a cross between P. G. Wodehouse and John Buchanan, this is good humoured, but far from Christie's best. www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

I just read EVEN IN THE BEST FAMILIES by Rex Stout (1950). The 17th in the wonderful Nero Wolfe series ... and the best so far! www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

I just read A SOUR APPLE TREE by John Blackburn (1958). A wartime traitor has become a telepathic menace! Wonderful stuff! www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

I just read for the #MyNovelLife challenge: THE BLACK DAHLIA (L.A. Quartet 1) by James Ellroy (from 1987, when I was 25). Based on a real unsolved murder case, this novel is as brutal as they come. www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

I just read DRAY PRESCOT 1: TRANSIT TO SCORPIO by Alan Burt Akers (Kenneth Bulmer) (1972). Standard "sword & planet" fare but good fun if you are in the mood for this sort of thing. www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

BOOK REVIEW: I just read POMPEII by Robert Harris (2003). I really enjoy novels set during the height of the Roman Empire, so had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it didn't quite deliver. www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

I just read THE STRANGE CASE OF MR. PELHAM by Anthony Armstrong (1957) for #marchmysterymadness. A rather dated tale about a man whose life is taken over by a more accomplished doppelgänger. www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

BOOK REVIEW: I just re-read CENTENNIAL by James Michener (1979). My third visit to this magnificent epic, one of my all-time favourite novels. www.tumblr.com/markhodderau... #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

I'm halfway thru James Michener's CENTENNIAL and loving it just as much as the 1st time I read it (1980) & the 2nd (1999). Truly epic, it tugs at the heartstrings in so many ways. The massacre of the "Indians" destroys me every time. #bookreviews #bookworm #booklover #bookbloggers #booksky 📚💙

RIP Marianne Faithfull. Much underrated. One of the few whose voice got better with age.

A tiny, seemingly insignificant action performed by many people can become a large action. One person migrating to Bluesky from Facebook means nothing. But if millions were to do it... ...

My migration from Facebook to Bluesky is ongoing. I now need a nice alternative to Instagram. These side-by-side search results from that platform show why. What are the worthwhile contenders?

I wonder what other novels fall as hard as this into the "so-goddamned-bad-it's-good" category? #HorrorLit, #Books, #BookSky

WRITING UPDATE: With 11 chapters written, I today lay out the plot-so-far as a mind-map. This immediately exposed a weakness & a missed opportunity. Tomorrow, I’ll rewrite a couple of scenes to address the first & accommodate the second. #Authors, #Writing, #WritingCommunity, #WriteLife,#WriterSky

I've written five novels in the OBSIDIAN app. I have it synced across all my devices. Set up correctly, it is much better than SCRIVENER and ULYSSES. It's incredibly customisable. I go for a minimalistic approach but the options are endless. Even better... it's free. #Authors, #Writing, #WriterLife
