pickThe slow horses are MI 5‘s losers. They “work” in a rundown office building separated from MI 5‘s glamorous headquarters. Herron deftly created a cast of antiheroes, the plot is full of twists I didn‘t see coming. There‘s humour and action. Slow horses is a well written, clever spy novel. I already borrowed book 2 in the series.
pickReally enjoyed this domestic thriller…it got pretty twisty near the end! This was my first book by this author but it won‘t be my last.

Plucked this title from the murky depths of my NetGalley requests pile. Sounds right up my street & with a trans MC to boot!
A library book. I loved The Island of Missing Trees by this author so looking forward to this one.
pickI actually finished a book! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Started this one about 9 days ago. This was an enjoyable murder mystery set in 1896 London with a mother who is also a private detective. A lot of information in this book, and covers the Dreyfus Affair, as well as anti-semitism.
There are a few others in this series and I‘d hope to get to them at some point. This one has sat on my bookshelf since 2014. #SeriesLove2025 #ShelfSweeper @TheSpineView
pickA cute little rom-com. It started out a little slow but as I spent more time with the characters I began to enjoy it more. At times I felt the characters were a bit cliche, especially the wacky grandma. Overall I enjoyed reading this.
3 stars
Setting off on the #ShelfSweeper readathon running throughout May by reading the tagged book set in 1896 and featuring a mother / private detective investigating a murder of a Professor in a library at King‘s College London.
Been sat on my shelf since July 2014.

I‘ve missed you dear #littens as I‘ve been in a lot of pain this week - sciatic pain can get excruciating. When able to focus, I continue to devour the Emma series. 😊
