Just finished the extraordinary Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social An incredible book. That's a very high bar been set early for my book of the year. Unflinchingly honest, powerful, visceral. It deserves all the plaudits and more. I really can't recommend it enough.

Had a lovely couple of days in Hay-On-Wye with friends. Was regretting my haul on a nightmare 8 hour 3 train journey home last night, lugging them back. But no regrets today sitting in the sun browsing through them all. I think I showed admirable restraint restricting myself to just 28 books.

Chuffed. Just managed to run 5km in under 30 minutes for the first time. Not bad for a 62 year old, who up until a year ago hadn't run since leaving school. Managed to lose 2 stone in weight in the last 5 months too through improved diet and exercise. I will get this diabetes into remission

Books read in June. A great month and lots I loved, but my absolute favourite was The Benefactors by Wendy Erskine @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social . Such a great read by such a terrific writer. It's sure to be one of my faves of 2025 at years end.

Books read in May. Favourites were the superb The Orange Notebooks by @susannacrossman.bsky.social , the wonderful and unhinged in the best way Saltburn by @drewgum.bsky.social , the prescient Crooked Cross by Sally Carson, and The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad..

Pete Keeley MD ANT @petekeeley1.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

The Orange Notebooks is a beautifully written novel that deals with the most difficult of griefs, a parent's loss of their child. Exquisitely told and ultimately offering hope. Along with bees and beige. Loved it. Another winner from @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social @susannacrossman.bsky.social

You need to read Keshed when it's published early next year. Raw, vital and brilliant.

#currentlyreading About a third of the way through Butcher's Crossing by John Williams, and absolutely loving it. Don't know why I've never read it before. I'm guessing Cormac McCarthy was a fan.

Pete Keeley MD ANT @petekeeley1.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Well this is exciting news. I was honoured to be an early reader of Keshed and can't wait to see it published and get my mitts on a copy. Visceral, real, and truly brilliant. Go @stuhennigan.bsky.social

Books read in March. My favourites were Naomi Booth, Adelle Stripe, David Peace, Donald Ray Pollock and Colin Barrett, but all had their merits. A good month.

Nice haul from secondhand bookshop today. Tenner for the lot.

Pete Keeley MD ANT @petekeeley1.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

What a terrific novel raw content by Naomi Booth is. @stuhennigan.bsky.social describes it much more eloquently than I - 'A haunting & bruising psychodrama about the anxieties of 21st motherhood, that links the primal potency of the female body with the northern landscape's elemental power'. 5*****

What a superb novel this is. A novel of/for our times. The dangers of where the vile rhetoric from Farage/Braverman etc will lead us (if it hasn't already). 'It is hard to believe that a beautiful island can turn so ugly and so fast. But it can.' @jomcmillan.bsky.social @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social
