@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialI’m spending my weekend with @stephenking.bsky.social ‘s 11.22.63 and it’s been a very long time since I felt so absorbed in a book. I’m in danger of walking round Brussels with it clamped in front of my face
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialI swear, I am doing this to myself. Mere minute after waxing lyrical about the efficiency of French trains, mine is delayed for two hours.

@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialI’m going to mumble a bit when introducing myself from now on and maybe people will think I am a Nobel Laureate
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialShit. They’re unlikely to give me the Nobel now. It’d just be weird having two laureates that rhyme
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeason 5: Episode 3 (Unusual Suspects) Origin episode for the Lone Gunmen. It’s 1989, Mulder hasn’t worked out how to deal with his fluffy hair yet. He’s also got a massive phone. Detective Munch from Law and Order makes a kind of crossover cameo. It’s not a very good episode.
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeason 5: Episode 2 (Redux 2) Scully’s still dying but she might be ok. The Smoking Man’s definitely dead. Mulder’s sister is back AGAIN (maybe the aliens never had her). Mulder calls out all the FBI corruption and cries a lot.
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.social14th Hilary Mantel of the year is Bring Up the Bodies. I ADORED this. Have been pinned to the sofa every night this week devouring it. Definitely superior to Wolf Hall and it was great. Feeling bereft that I’ve only one left now #MyYearWithHM
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialOne week since we launched #NoVacancy and I’ve already had umpteen people sidle up to tell me the weird things that have happened to them in hotels (some of them were hotel owners). Always up for hearing your Fawlty Towers moments if you care to share…

@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialIt was lovely to be included in this new RTE documentary about CS Lewis, screening this Thursday at 10:15pm

@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeason 5: Episode 1 (Redux) Guess what? Mulder’s not dead. But he is plagued with a horrendous voiceover monologue and he’s now switched his sister abduction obsession for an obsession with curing Scully’s cancer. Oh, and, there’s a whole room of alien corpses and the Smoking Man cries.
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeason 5. Roughly half way through now. (In the name of all that’s good and true, I have to be half way through at this point) #XFiles
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialFor those of you who missed Tuesday Night's gorgeous launch of #NoVacancy in No Alibis, here's our lovely Bebe Ashley beautiful introduction to the book www.jancarson.co.uk/blog/bebe-ashleys-brilliant-introduction-to-no-vacancy
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialI’ve been in 7 countries in the last 7 days and now I am in the same place to write for a whole month and it feels like a long deep breath so if you were thinking of asking me for a wee favour or some work would appreciate it if you could hold off until November. Unofficial out of office is on.
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialThoughts on X Files Series 4 How can I still not be half way through yet? Goodness but M&S love a seedy motel Scully’s getting hotter, Mulder less so. Exactly how many alien autopsies are required before they have enough proof. Too much semi-naked Skinner
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeason 4: Episode 24 (Gethsemane). There’s a fake alien in a block of ice which might be real. Mulder dins some fetching ski gear. Scully denies Mulder in front of the board. Mulder dies (am guessing he’s not really dead as we still have 121 episodes to go)
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeason 4: Episode 23 (Demons). This is a good run of episodes. Mulder wakes up in a motel covered in someone else’s blood and can’t remember what happened. Cue lots of hallucinogenic flashbacks and some creepy paintings.
@jancarsonwrites.bsky.socialSeries 4: Episode 22 (Elegy). Murder in a bowling alley. A load of ghosts. A psychopathic nurse. The stand alones in this series are sublime.
