My intro to @helenmcclory.bsky.social What a fascinating, refreshing approach to the short form. And such a command of language, creating beautiful arrangements and then butchering them in a truly exciting way. Thanks to Karen Sullivan @orendabooks.bsky.social, who gave me this as a present.

Joining the cover reveal for #UndertheBlazingSun by Jenny Lund Madsen - coming on 21 May from @orendabooks.bsky.social - see bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/2026/03/cove... for more! Thanks @annerandomthings.bsky.social

Cover the book "Under the Blazing Sun" by Jenny Lund Madsen. The front of a house. Four windows are visible. The one at tope right has open shutters, the rest are closed. The front of the house is a pink-purple colour, matching the sky around it although above the house the sky darkens to blue. In the distance is a setting or rising sun, and a town with some lights on in the houses. In front of the house is superimposed a wine glass, broken and with dashes of red on its jagged edge. The bottom of the glass also contains some red liquid, it could be wine or blood or something else.

Gorgeous morning for a bike ride and then home to exciting book post from @orendabooks.bsky.social My translation of #Sharks by @ohneklippo.bsky.social ! 🦈😎💙📚🍻🥂🍾🥳🚲🚴‍♀️ #booksky #ChastityReloaded #QueenOfKrimi

A very Norfolk scene with the old gatehouse to some hall or other, blue sky with white clouds, a barred gate, a finger signpost to Wymondham and a hawthorn hedge coming into blossom

My hand holding a copy of Sharks by Simone Buchholz above the box in which they were delivered. You can see the back covers of two more, one right way up and one upside down.

The cover is dark blue with neon green for the title and a neon sign of a shark jaw in pink and a bunch of green keys above the Hamburg skyline.

Starting Saturday with excellent company: These two and the latest thriller from @evesmithauthor.bsky.social The Cure is out next week!! @orendabooks.bsky.social #BookSky

A paperback book lies on a bed by two black Labrador cross dogs. The book is The Cure by Eve Smith with the tagline: Living forever can be lethal

The blurb on the back of the book, The Cure by Eve Smith.
Ruth is a law-abiding elder, working out her national service, but she has secrets.

Her tireless research into the disease that killed her young daughter had an unexpected outcome: the discovery of a vaccine against old age. Just one jab a year reverses your biological clock, guaranteeing a long, healthy life.

But Ruth’s cure was hijacked by her colleague, Erik Grundleger, who hungers for immortality, and the SuperJuve – a premium upgrade – was created, driving human lifespan to a new high. The wealthy elite who take it are dubbed Supers, and the population begins to skyrocket.

Then, a perilous side-effect of the SuperJuve emerges, with catastrophic consequences, and as the planet is threatened, the population rebels, and laws are passed to restore order: life ends at 120. Supers are tracked down by Omnicide investigators like Mara, and executed…

Mara has her own reasons for hunting Supers, and she forms an unlikely alliance with Ruth to find Grundleger.

But Grundleger has been working on something even more radical and is one step ahead, with a deadly surprise in store for them both…
