  A lovely sunny day with weather that isn't painfully scorching, for once.

  Had a lovely walk outside today, only to get myself locked out of my house 🙃 (I left the keys on the kitchen table)

  Ooh, and I watched The Odyssey last night. Absolutely brill film, and that's coming from someone who thinks Christopher Nolan films are okay-good at best. #films #movies #theOdyssey

  Just finished reading The Intruders by Louise Jensen for my book club. Ever have a book where you finished the book and go "thank goodness that's over"? Well, that's The Intruders for me. A shame, as I think it had some good ideas, but it was a bit too all over the place for me. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  I've realised it's been a while since I've shared my reading history. Sorry about that! Golden Son by Pierce Brown - loved it. Really good! They All Died Screaming by Kristopher Triana - I thought it was good horror if a bit too edgy, trying a bit too hard at times Bat Eater by Kylie Lee Baker - I thought this one was absolutely incredible. Honestly just loved it to bits. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  Is anyone having issues downloading paid books onto their Kobo device or is it just me? #kobo #ebooks

  I wanna see your bookshelf! But first, here is mine (yes, I'm going to need a new bookshelf very soon) #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  I just read Some Of Us Are Liars by Fiona Cummins, and I really enjoyed this thriller book! Really clever twists, lots of attention to detail. It was brilliant. I was listening to the audiobook, and in the later chapters when the twist was revealed, I audibly went "wait WHAT" and went back. I was so shook I grabbed the book to make sure I understood it right. Now *that's* how you do a thriller. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  Just finished a book and I've realised I haven't posted anything about my previous books, so here goes! Red Rising by Pierce Brown - I didn't love it as much as others, but I definitely had a fun time. I've got Golden Sun and I plan to read it next. I heard this one was just so that Pierce Brown could get his book published, and is a trojan horse of sorts. Can't wait to see what's next 👀 #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommuni...

  I saw Disclosure Day on Sunday and I'm still not quite over just how bad it was. Riddled with plot holes, bad action sequences, and just really stupid things that don't add *anything* to the film (like how long it took to run the phone over with the car). Had I not seen Iron Lung this year, Disclosure Day would be the worst film I've seen all year. As it stands, it's the worst film I've seen all year by a notable director. #movie #movies #film #films #c...

  Just finished When The Cranes Fly South by Lisa Ridzén. Absolutely phenomenal book, I wish I could give it 6/5. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  I've joined up to a new book social thingymajig! It's called Pagebound, and I like it because I can actually access it on the computer as well as via apps. You can find me here: https://pagebound.co/users/MenacingDigit #book #books #bookstodon #booksky

  I also got a whole shelf of Karin Slaughter books. My bookshelves are filling up quite nicely... #book #books #booksky #bookstodon

  Finished Only Child by Casey Kelleher. A brill psychological horror book that actually left me quite stumped as to what the final reveal would be. I devoured it in a day - a fun read! #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  I finished Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. Really great psychological thriller book! A bit slow to start, but well worth it. Loved the fact it delved deep into the villain's psyche - oddly enough I haven't read many psychological thriller books that do that. Not loving the slurs in terms of referencing black people though. It's not *that* n-word, but it was a term that was already outdated when the book was published. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCom...

  I've finished Tender is the Flesh. A very fast read of a book, but an absolutely horrific book at that. What if society devolved into cannibalism? But not just any old cannibalism - what if cannibalism was industrialised? Great usage of themes in this book. I was a bit sceptical with Part 2 of the book, but the book played a blinder of a hand. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingCommunity

  Book readers, do you read books in order, or do you read a book in a series and then move onto something different and come back to it in the future? Very curious about this result. #book #books #bookstodon #booksky #reading #readingCommunity

  Another one for book readers On average, how many books do you read at a time? #book #books #bookstodon #booksky #reading #readingCommunity

  I'm using Pagebound, and I do love it. However, I'm really not a fan of when I mark a book as "currently reading", I have to manually enter how many pages the book has in total. Goodreads and StoryGraph has this data right out of the gate. Why is it that Pagebound doesn't have it? #pagebound #goodreads #storygraph

  Finished Two Can Play by Ali Hazelwood. It's a fun, cute romance romp based around videogame designers. I had a lot of fun with this one, and as it is a novella it was a very quick read. I enjoyed the romance between the two, I enjoyed the videogame references. I did find some of the descriptions to be a bit... medical. Like there was a part where the FMC touches the MMC's "sternum" - just say touch his chest. #book #books #booksky #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity

  So I've been thinking about this for a few months now, and I've come to the decision that I want to basically shut down PKU Talk Mastodon server. I want to do this at Christmas time. I have a number of reasons: 1. Having to maintain a Mastodon server with moderation etc is a lot of faff 2. There aren't many people on this PKU Talk Mastodon server to really justify the cost of operating the server 3. (The real reason) I'm honestly a bit fed up of social media in general. It is i...

  Finished Mort by Terry Pratchett today. I enjoyed the book, thought it was good! It really needed more Death - he was such a stand out character! The book is full of funny and intelligent quips! I found the pacing of the plot to be a bit all over the place, though. #books #booksky #book #bookstodon #reading #readingcommunity
