ICYMI - One more invite for 2022 to check out a great winter read. From borg writer E. C. Bunce! At what should have been an exceptionally Victorian Christmas, did someone invite a murderer to the mayor's Christmas party? Find out in #ColdBloodedMyrtle - finalist for this year's Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America. All the details are in the attached link to borg.com. @ecbunce #bookstodon #mystery #Christmasreads #Xmas https://borg.com/2022/12/27/winter-reading-for-another-victorian-winter-tale-try-cold-blooded-myrtle/

Deep in my first two reads from the Christmas word hoard...

Shelly Bond's Filth & Grammar is astonishingly brilliant, dense with deep editorial wisdom. Invaluable if you're making comics, tbh pretty essential whatever you're writing / drawing.

Robert Palmer's Deep Blues is also pretty wondrous, so far a blend of evocative story telling, musical deep dives and historical context.

Woot! This is my favourite reading time of the year. What are you diving into? #christmasReads #ChristmasBookFlood

After a decade of gathering dust on my bookshelf, it's time to delve into Tyler Hamilton's The Secret Race.

“Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire.”

- Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol 🎩 🕯️ ❄️

For many years I re-read A Christmas Carol every Christmas. This year I have a Christmas suggestion for all; I'm reading Mr. Dickens and His Carol right now. I'm about 40% through and LOVING it. So good! #christmasreads #dickens #achristmascarol #samanthasilva

Down to the library for a few #ChristmasReads

For anyone looking for something festive to read for Christmastime, I just started The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand -- a contemporary YA adaption of A Christmas Carol -- and so far it's jolly good fun! Lots of humor and heart. #books #bookstodon #ChristmasReads #YA #YAlit

@Heaven_ali Here is my own published #ChristmasReads collection which I'm looking forwards to finding time to dip into

@Heaven_ali that's a fab looking #ChristmasReads haul! I've been meaning to try some Maigret, let us know if you enjoy.

I'm starting on my pile of Christmassy reads. First up A Maigret Christmas and other stories by Georges Simenon. Never read Maigret before.

A walk can reduce tension. So can a flamethrower. No stores links today, only meme.

Any Mrs Bradley fans out there?
Death Comes at Christmas was the first #ChristmasRead I started this year, but it took me *ages* to finish, because I just couldn’t stand the main character! What am I missing? Larkin called the novel’s author “The Great Gladys” and loved her investigator. But she left me cold. Please persuade me otherwise, @bookstodon ?
