Volume 4, On the Calculation of Volume, by Solvej Balle, translated by Sophia Hersi Smith and Jennifer Russell takes up almost the entire tweet. Just to say it is wonderful, nice return to the small, more ish chapters, and a real plot twist at the end. Can’t wait for vol 5: Nov

Last year my favourite event at @brightonfringe was the @bitesizeplays breakfasts: coffee, croissant, strawberry, six short plays. I went twice, separate programmes. So when I found out that they were coming back this year, that determined the dates for this year’s trip. #excited

@lonesomereader Brilliant exposition of Vol 3: without giving a spoiler for any of the three books. Made me think about things differently. I love the plot twists BTW. I suggest a new take on Just a Minute @bbcradio4: Talk for 10 Minutes about a Novel Without Revealing Spoilers

80 of 2025 is Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera Funny, tightly plotted whodunnit about amnesia, podcasts, ride or die friends, secret lives and returning to your small Texas hometown where everyone thinks you're a murderer. Ripped through it.

1 of 2025 is The Snowman by Jo Nesbo Enjoyed it a lot! Loads of action, red herrings, mysterious killers, snow, high speed chases. The first Harry Hole novel I've read but definitely will read more.
