Just finished the 8 books and 3 novellas about Slough House by Mick Herron.

You can get the first 6 as a box set for about £20 - do it!

Thank for the tip Nick. I've just finished the first one, and the second has started really well...

And also just started watching the TV series - it's pretty good and very true to the books. The first episode is free on Apple TV.

Gary Oldman plays Jackson Lamb - apt, he was Smiley in the 2011 film of Tinker Tailor.

Ok so this week I've finished :

Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher (cracking fairy tale)

The Shadow Cabinet by Juno Dawson (sequel to Her Majesty's Coven) Woke Witches v the forces of prejudice

Sandman Mystery Theatre Compendium 1 (Graphic Novel)

Now for the new herron!

I've since read everything of Herron's except his latest. One of those authors where I'll buy the hardback.

Used to be true of the Reacher books but, alas, now unreadable tripe.

Yeah, Secret Hours is another treat.

Struggling with Payback’s A Witch so put it aside for Tthe Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah which is going better after The Silver Surfer Omnibus by Slott & Allred which was a lot of fun

Now on 'The Improbability Of Love' by Hannah Rothschild.

[nickpoole]

While in Majorca last week read The Poppy War (R.F. Luang) and The City of Lost Fortunes (Bryan Camp) - both cracking reads and good enough that I’ve ordered sequels to both

Reading The Five (Hallie Rubenhold) now I’m home
