Liverpool's Spellow Lane library torched last night. What could be more 'patriotic' than destroying a centre which serves the local community?

Ummm @torbooks, there is going to be a sequel to Rubicon by @jsdewes - because you can’t leave me in limbo like this - it’s OMG good!! I blame @realmsofmymind for this feeling.

Read this a couple of months ago and loved the found family and how it escalated through the trilogy. Recommended

Don't usually bother with #WITMonth as it makes up so much of my reading all year (to really diversify I should read a few more men in english), but I love everyone's stacks and recs so much I have rearranged my plans for August to join in 🤗

To celebrate Women in Translation month we’re going to be recommending a book each day throughout August. First up is Sara Mesa’s UN AMOR (tr: Katie Whittemore) - a claustrophobic story of desire and small town unease in the vein of Dogville or Coetzee’s Disgrace. #WITMonth

Spies, kompromat, loose morals, tight plot. This, from @oliharris808, is an outstanding political thriller. Big recommend.

I have just finished an ARC of Lake of Darkness by Adam Roberts. It’s a dense commentary on us as humans. It’s imaginative, funny, thought provoking and Roberts at the top of his game. I want to read it again to enjoy it some more. Thanks @gollancz
