Friday Update: The Reading Queue (19th June)
I missed posting the last couple of Friday updates due to other unplanned commitments, and given we had a long weekend somewhere in there as well, there's been quite a bit of movement in this list.

Thursday Temptations
This temptations is upcoming releases, one young adult, one that's a science fiction / mystery crossover.
Tedious Spammers Alert
I've heard from a few people now that some loser is out there sending partnership offers or some other garbage purporting to be from me, Karen Chisholm at a Gmail address.
It's not me needless to say, report the email address as a spammer / faker if you can otherwise delete and block.
This crud has been mentioned on Bluesky for a while now.
So many horrible people, so little joy in the world these days.
Thursday Temptations
For a change, this time a random selection of favourite series reads - most local, one from Scandinavia.

There's not going to be a lot of posting here over the next few days. Vale Lady Penelope and fingers crossed for the other elderly's experiencing all sorts of health problems.

Friday Update: The Reading Queue (22nd May)
This update hasn't been happening recently - I've been dealing with a tsunami of elderly animal health challenges which have just chewed up every available waking hour, to say nothing of creating a severe dose of frazzled brain syndrome.

This time the temptations are made up of soon to be released, quite a way off release, and things I recently lucked upon.
Thursday Temptations
There are SO MANY tempting books around at the moment it's panic inducing in a happy, but equally challenging way - it would be so nice to be able to read / comment on everything but here we are.
Friday Update: The Reading Queue (1st May)
Still juggling, still not getting enough books read. Not the worst problem, I've got, but apologies, as always to the authors and publishers wondering why I'm always so far behind!
#JustFinished
I think I'm reading too many books at once - so nothing in the just finished pile in the last week but quite a few in the currently reading which are nearly there.
Friday Update: The Reading Queue (24th April)
Still juggling, still not getting enough books read. What a "dreadful" problem to have.

The Bookshop Detectives: Tea & Cake & Death by Gareth Ward and Louise Ward (2026 Ngaio's)
Friday Update: The Reading Queue (17th April)
The days are definitely shortening now which means the Spring Classics bike racing is in full swing, which means no sleep and a freaked out dog from all the ooing and jumping every time a rider gets into some risky trouble.

Friday Update: The Reading Queue (10th April)
This update is bought to you in the aftermath of an Easter break where not enough reading got done. To be honest, not a lot of anything much got done, I started wading through a recently deceased relative's boxes of photos and disappeared down some very nostalgic byways.
