Ok Sex Fender.

Ok Sex Fender.

You've been thinking about that for a while eh?
Should have just read Mikey's book, would have been quicker.

[Zizou]

Got this because my son is obsessed with dinosaurs and my knowledge is sketchy at best it’s actually a very interesting read.

[King Kebab]

A Craig Levein Biography.

[Widespread Gang Violence]

Just finished this. The audiobook is read by t'man himself.

I’m one of the last people in the UK to have read The Thursday Murder Club. It’s…fine. Decent wee story, but I get enough of smug elderly folk from TalkHearts tbqh.

It's an Agatha Christie with some gags. Weird how they've become quite so massive. Osman is a famous enough guy, but not to the levels his writing has achieved.

Still, keeps librarians in jobs so I'm grateful.

I read an Ian Rankin the other week i'd had lying around on my kindle for about 15 years. Absolutely shoakin ending like

apart from that reading a lot of travel writing, getting through Erika Fatland and Kapka Kassabova's books.

Not a great advert for reading books in 2025.

Are you not finding less and less people coming to the library, Tuna?
It's a bit like going to church.

Covid broke a lot of people's routine for reading, so that caused a hit to our numbers. We do lots more than books though, so our survival depends on offering services to the community and we're getting good at that.

Must be tough, like. 
I can't imagine libraries being top of the government funding list.

It is terrible like I got through 50 pages or so out of interest and chucked it in our building’s bookshare box. It is what it is I guess if you take it at face value but it’s written for people who will read exactly one book a year.

[Iker Kashillas]

I read the first one and never bothered with anything after that

Just got the Lucy Foley books and have started with The Guest List.

[Widespread Gang Violence]

Lucy Foley books are absolute trailer park trash-tier "everyone has secrets, nothing is what it seems" landfill thrillers.

I love them.

Anyone read the Mindhunter book? It was good but the boy John Douglas genuinely spends the first three chapters telling his early life story exactly like bobsharp would

Rambling pish about how he was a great pitcher in high school baseball segwaying into some anectode about his pal drunk driving etc.
