of my life gone today cooking this. I hate cooking. And now I don’t want to eat any of it.

I suspect there’s been a problem leaving comments on this blog, and which should be solved now so if you’ve been having difficulty please give it another go.
I’m staying here.
Lots of book reviews to come tomorrow. And a Quote if you’re lucky.

Long story short. I have no work at present and annoyingly I am about to have to renew my web host’s services (i.e. if I don’t the website disappears).
I can’t really afford the money right now, but I love the blog because it keeps my creative juices flowing a bit and so helps my well-being.
I don’t honestly know who reads, likes or hates this blog. So I am asking you, dear readers, would you like me to keep it going? If I get an overwhelming positive response (hem-hem) I’ll find the money and continue on.
Ta!

I think Sam Delaney’s short angry piece in The Big Issue is well worth reading:
Where were the rich Notting Hill set in the wake of Grenfell?
My reading seems to have ground to a halt temporarily, but if you are luck enough to get a holiday here’s Waterstones recommendations and offers:
Waterstones 50% off Summer reading
J.D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy and Naomi Alderman’s The Power would be my own (unread) recommendations.
Robert Harris (Conclave) is always a great read.
I love Peter Robinson’s North Yorkshire-set DCI Banks series (I have avoided the TV series), though I am not up to date – latest being When The Music’s Over.
My own holiday reading list will be here soon. Don’t get too excited.
