Haha! I had ICB on my tbr, but she hasn't quite drifted to the top yet. So I'm glad you're covering her!

New on the blog today, I've written about LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE by Nancy Mitford.

A delightful satire on the absurdities of the English upper classes, shot through with Mitford's trademark combination of humanity & wit. My contribution to the #1949Club 💙📚

If you’re not sure what #1949Club is all about, it’s easy to join in.

Just read a book first published in 1949, then post something about it online (e.g. on Bluesky, Insta or wherever you talk about books).

The Club runs from 12th-18th Oct, so share your thoughts during that week! #BookSky 💙📚

My limited experience of gluten-free baking/cooking is a fun game of: will this CRUMBLE TO PIECES or CLAG TOGETHER INSEPARABLY. There is no in-between.

@stuckinabook.bsky.social Sep 14, 2026, 1:55 PM

Yes, lots of exciting contenders!

I see Karen has beaten me to it - looking forward to seeing what you read!

Glad to learn that the far-right can manipulate the British public a lot, but do NOT come for the RNLI.

New on the blog today, my thoughts on WISH HER SAFE AT HOME by Stephen Benatar.

A remarkable, deeply unsettling novel featuring one of the best depictions of the inner life of an unstable woman I’ve encountered in fiction. Unforgettable! #SpinsterSeptember

Oo good to know, thanks. I was wondering if I would enjoy her fiction too.

I've binge-watched all of Adults in a few days, and sad that it's over... wish I could mind-wipe and rewatch.
