A bit of an eclectic mix of reads this week! I'm on #9 Lost Witch of the Torrent Witch cozy mysteries- only this and one more and the series is complete 👌🏻 I doing a bit of comedy homework by reading Lee Kyle and his book 'How to make a stand up show'. And some local literature with 'I come from a land asunder' by Lee Stewart Books which is giving me all the nostalgia; I was born in Downhill and that's the backdrop of his childhood in the 80s.

So, in part 3 of Me In Three, Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary' got an honorary mention and here's the copy still in my possession- THAT CAT 😨 stuff o' nightmares!
I firmly believe that a lot of millennials read a Stephen King book far too young and that would explain a lot 🫠
Share your first brush with King!

I flipping LOVE scouring charity bookshelves in community centres, doctors surgeries and supermarkets 😍
I procured this trio of amazingness for 60p!!! A local history book, a YA novel and a cheeky vintage horror 👌🏻
Have you bought any bookish bargains recently?

I have no voice so no HUMPDAY UPDATE 🫠

In Part 3, I gush about my all-time favourite book 'The Chronicles of Narmo' by Caitlin Moran. Yes, my copy is a library book. Due back 33 years ago 🫠 And of course I got Moran to sign it! Any unreturned library books on your shelves? Can you beat 1993?

It's after the watershed so feet pics can be shared 🤣
In Part 2 of Me In Three, I talk about F.Scott Fitzgerald's literary creation of Dick Diver (GUFFAW) and how someone said my F.Scott tattoo looks like Gazza. Do you concur? 🤣
