What a beautiful book! This is a copy of The Ferryman by Justin Cronin that I bought my mum for her birthday. Borrowed so I can read it, see you in 538 pages!
So apparently the final drop of the re-issue has been released without any warning. This is the final batch from the re-issue that began in 2021. I will finally have a matching set when I buy these 🤩
I went to Barter Books in Alnwick today on the last day of my holiday. Awesome book shop, purchased myself a very early birthday present-a signed copy of Armada by Ernest Cline.
I got an L Ron Hubbard book out of sheer curiosity and a Tad Williams because I really enjoyed his Otherland series.
Oooh shiny! Just received my copy of the 50th anniversary Carrie. I always preorder books then forget about them so it’s a nice surprise when they turn up! Nice edition in mini hardback size, my fave 🔥
I finished the 3rd book in the 3 book Pixel Dust series yesterday and I feel like I’ve lost a friend I was enjoying these books so much! It’s the first time I’ve ever felt like this after finishing a series and I’m not sure what happens now…start again from the beginning?
Went to my first ever Silent Book Club meeting tonight. It was slightly bizarre silently reading with a group of strangers but I will be going again. Check out if there’s a local chapter near you!
Sorry I haven’t been posting as much. I’ve been attempting to write a book of my own which has been taking up a lot of my time as well as getting back into Dreamlight Valley.
I’m working on an RPG/GameLit style book. I’m on chapter 4 so if anyone would like a read and to provide me with some feedback please let me know. Don’t be too harsh it’s my first draft!
Has anyone ordered the 50th anniversary copy of Carrie? Out 26th March.
How charmingly old school is this book? I love the paperback size hardbacks. I think they are my favourite type of book.
Excited to start this pioneer of the gamelit/litrpg genre.
Also, one of my favourite things is having some quiet reading time in the pub while I wait for my boyfriend to arrive 💛
Got the one I was missing! Caught up with the re-issues for now. (This is costing me so much money 😩)
Bought the most recent drop of the re-issues which was The Dark Tower series, plus Wind Through The Keyhole and Cycle Of The Werewolf just after. Stupidly forgot the last book in The Dark Tower series so I’ve ordered it now. I cannot tell you how much is irks me that Cycle Of The Werewolf is taller than the rest 😡
Also just my latest shelfie, excuse the mess but I’m now on my last free shelf (behind the chair) so I’m going to have to stack on top for an extra 6 shelves!
Sorry I haven’t posted in so long I haven’t been reading much or buying any books because of paying for Christmas 😩 I’ll make an effort to post more but I am still here!
Also, currently looking for LitRPG recommendations because I’ve been getting into those recently. I’ve read Otherland, Eternal Online and am currently on Pixel Dust so please send me your recommendations 🙏🏻

Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King is out now in a new UK edition.
Books where Elvis solves mysteries? Sign me up! I bet it’s awful but I don’t care 🤷♀️
No formal announcement has been made about this book yet, seems like the release has been accidentally let slip? It is available to pre-order on Amazon though.
Description from Amazon reads:
‘You like it darker? Fine, so do I', writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life - both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel 'the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind', and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
'Two Talented Bastids' explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In 'Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream', a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. In 'Rattlesnakes', a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. In 'The Dreamers', a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. 'The Answer Man' asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
Next for the grand re-release is The Dark Tower. Could be a good excuse to revisit this as I’ve only read the series once.
