Dominion by Addie E Citchens

Book no.5 for 2026 💙📚 Addie E. Citchens’s first novel “Dominion” is a quick read about open secrets that people put up with because of religion and patriarchy. That cover art is something!
#ciaheartsbooks

we read & enjoyed that -despite some reservations over stretching the science beyond reality!

Just shattered.

Can't even give it away on BlueSky Avenue...

Picked up a mystery book from the bookstore today. Figured I'd mix things up. Added to my #tbr #booksky #Blinddatewithabook #youngadult #scifi

Just finished “Nobody’s Girl” by Virgina Roberts Giuffre, now i am set to do a re-read of this. I read “It Can’t Happen Here” (copyright 1935) by Sinclair Lewis last January and I think it’s time for a re-read.

1984 gets the spotlight, but this book should be getting more attention.

Yes, those 40 years working in #industrialhygiene and safety influenced my novels and writing! Https://dedemontgomery.com #writingcommunity #booksky #readingcommunity #amwriting #totalworkerhealth #aiha

Approx 70 pages left I shall breeze through tomorrow! I am still uncertain how to categorise it. Perhaps that is a good thing. Anyway, no spoilers though I had an insight around page 110 I think it was, that I will surely discover is right or wrong in the last 20 pages! #booksky #lablit

#lablit!

I still have 170 odd pages of the book we will discuss tomorrow as #lablit - Emma Cook, You Can't Hurt Me. 1/3 plus in still not sure if it is a crime story, family drama, or thriller! Not read the blurb or precis.

It's been a hell of a week. Finally finding time to relax and enjoy a good book 😊📚

Chuffed to bits with this, i been a fan of #BuyAStrangerABook @biggreenbooks.bsky.social since waaaaay back in the old country, long enough to have bought 3 x copies of The Sound Mirror for folk when it came out and that was in 2020 😱

International Women's Day 8th - celebrate all the international women! [not quite what it means - Ed.]

"For centuries people have been #reading more and more. Recently the trend has gone into reverse. The number of people who pick up a #book has been falling steadily for twenty years. Now half of adults no longer read regularly.

How will this change us? "

@jennyrohn.bsky.social sounds really interesting! 👍

Murder at the Black Cat Cafe by Seishi Yokomizo, translated by Bryan Karetnyk It’s been only a couple of weeks since I last tackled a book by Seishi Yokomizo. In fact, on the day I post this review you will still see my post about The Inugami Curse listed as a recent post on the homepage! Given I try to mix things up on the blog, how has this come about? Well, there are a couple of reasons…

Back to back reviews of the same author? Well, I don't usually do that but I couldn't resist after picking up a copy of this earlier this week. Today's post offers thoughts on Seishi Yokomizo's Murder at the Black Cat Cafe.

Friday’s Forgotten Book: Death of Mr. Gantley by Miles Burton Cecil John Charles Street (1884-1964) was a serving British army officer who attained the rank of Major. He was also a pillar of Golden Age crime fiction, writing under multiple names, producing fo…

An early mystery from Miles Burton in which an inheritance depends on the time of death. A pair of potential legatees are definitely suspicious. Other titles in the series have lovely dust jacket art, I can't imagine what happened to this one. #FFB 📚⚡️ 📚💙 happinessisabook.com/fridays-forg...

As soon as spring started on Sunday, it is like last year when the rain ceased in March. Then we had in Norwich almost 6 months with very little rain. I wonder if this is a weather pattern that will be repeated - wet winter with little frost followed by a dry spring & summer. I hope not!

Time to dig up the future In a terrible irony, the green technologies we need to move away from fossil fuels rely on minerals that can only be extracted with terrible environmental consequences
