On Friday, I started two different books and couldn‘t stick with either. I binged the first season and a half of Slow Horses on Apple TV yesterday, started another book that I just can‘t stick with earlier today and am switching over to the tagged book that‘s been on my shelves for YEARS. I probably should wait until I finish all four seasons of the TV show, but I‘m hoping for a book I can‘t put down. 🤞🏻
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.
pickI loved the show! Casting and acting is terrific. Thought the book might be fun, too 🤩
However, it is SO much like the show, that… I prefer watching.

pickAn excellent way to spent the day. Perhaps this will be my year of spycraft? I could see it.
pickGood times! Definitely lighter in tone than some of the entries in this series. For all that the stakes include threats of everything from ruination of reputations, careers, to bodily injury and death, I'm pretty sure the body count was non-existent. 1/?
Thank you @thegirlwiththelibrarybag for these marvellous #AussieSecretSanta gifts. The books (wonderful surprises!) look great and I love the Group of Seven photo & the gorgeous bracelets. I‘m thrilled!
I love this series sooo soooo much. The characters are so interesting, screwups and fascinating as they try to save the world whilst the big boys are clueless as usual.
