📚 Book 42 of 2026 Took me ages to buy this and then pick it up to read but left choosing my next book to the MIMHC Bookclub and this was the one! A really fun read of an American sitcom family - great story!

@KEdge23 @montie @rtwith Brentwood is marginal? That’s a new one!

@montie @rtwith Very selective there. Many are close marginals, so a slight swing and many will turn Tory again.

More on the Tory recovery

📚 Book 41 of 2026 Thanks for this one @MrsEmmaHall - finally got round to reading this and what a funny book - a very different way to look at our politics of the last decade!

📚 Book 40 of 2026 Milestone of 40 books read this year and pleased it was Matt Cain with one of his first books and another stunning read - a gay boy to man story inspired by Madonna!

📚 Book 39 of 2026 A great addition to the Reacher series - excellent story with some nice twists along the way - really enjoyed this one!

📚 Book 38 of 2026 Still working through the collection of books from Celia Fremlin and this was another great read, an old school murder mystery!

Walford has just got a little bit darker. Goodbye, Nigel Bates. You will be missed. #EastEnders

📚 Book 37 of 2026 Another ever reliable read from Beth O’Leary - simple escapism in a book is always a nice place to be, even if on this one I was getting the names fixed up very often!

📚 Book 36 of 2026 Behind on posting but this book, a series of letters and exchanges across the years was a real good read!

📚 Book 35 of 2026 The second Evenfall and whilst it wasn’t as good as the first for me, I love the new universe that Alexander Armstrong has created and the design work in the book is amazing!

@GoodwinMJ @Waterstones Plank!

Hey @Waterstones. Where’s Suicide of a Nation? Weird how the No.1 paperback in Britain never happens to be on display … 🤔

@GoodwinMJ @Waterstones Those are hardbacks, Matt.
