Body Work by Ben Aaronovitch et al, first of the main run of graphic novels, set mainly modern day. A car runs amok in a wrecking yard. What is the connection to a witch ducking and a drug dealer? Nightingale has a good idea what's going on. If you've ever wondered about the haunted Bentley that's mentioned in the novels from time to time this will explain it. Bought this morning from Waterstones on Argyle St and was I pleased with my purchase 😄

    On Sheep, Diary of a Swedish Shepherd by Axel Lindén, my library bingo pick for non-fiction book. The reviews are all over this so maybe I was missing something. I thought I'd really enjoy it but I found it rather flat. Maybe something was lost in translation or perhaps I don't get the Scandi pysche. This account of moving to AL's parents' farm as an antidote to city life is written as (mostly) short diary entries which are interesting but bleak.

      Night Witch by Ben Aaronovitch et al, which comes after Body Work in the graphic novel sequence. Varvara Sidorovna Tamonina was one of the Soviet army's Night Witches. How can she help when a young girl goes missing in Kent? And how is that connected to the men meekly cleaning up Beverley's house? If you've ever wondered where Maksim sprung from this will answer your questions. And why and how is Molly making liver flavoured ice cream?

Rivers of London is in the usual flowing font and is in white, along with the novel title and authors.

        Black Mould by Ben Aaronovitch et al, which comes after Night Witch in the graphic novel sequence. Guleed checks in on a friend and is swiftly beseiged by a fast growing black mould that can assume human shape and drives people out of their homes. What has this to do with swanky new build flats, an old dear in a nursing home and a jazz guitarist from the 50s? Featuring a welcome if brief return to Herefordshire, Peter & co investigate.

          The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson, my library bingo pick for book chosen just for the cover. I was expecting a fluffy read but this had much more going for it than that. Its main focus is the post-WWI tension around women's roles and expectations, centred on two women, one who expects to support herself as a governess or paid companion and another much more privileged but wanting to ride a motorbike and fly, against society's mores.

            Albatross by Evelyn Anthony, 3rd in the Davina Graham books and a welcome return to form after the disappointment of The Avenue of the Dead. Set against early 80s Cold War, Davina Graham must use jailed traitor Peter Harrington to root out a Moscow mole at the highest levels of SIS, one of whom has close ties to her family, another of whom is responsible for the death of her husband. But Moscow is trying to get to Harrington first. Who is Albatross and who will win?

              When I First Held You by Anstey Harris. I picked this up as it has a connection. It focuses on Judith, who has to give up her baby in the 60s, following a relationship with a man who was a fellow part of a group protesting against Faslane. We meet her in the modern day, widowed and hugely affected by events of the 60s but also very much making a life for herself when the legacy of those days comes roaring back, bringing joy, doubt and pain.

                The next four graphic novels by Ben Aaronovitch et al: Detective Stories, Cry Fox, Water Weed, and The Fey and the Furious. DS, a collection of four short investigations, is the weakest by some way but the rest are good. Drawing out minor characters, filling in Nightingale's past and taking Peter on solo adventures, we meet more weird and wonderful characters and run with them.

                  More Days at the Torunka Café by Satoshi Yagisawa tr Eric Ozawa. Sequel to DATTC, which I didn't realise. Three stories of the human condition, linked by the protagonists all being café customers. The author creates a convincing and appealing atmosphere in the café but I felt the stories were a bit trite and simplistic, but I was reading in translation and although I've been to twice and love the culture, I might well have been missing something you can't translate

                                            After Chad’s online trolling goes too far, he’s sentenced to spend 30 days as an actual troll in a video game.

                                                Parts of this book are very dated. But there’s a lot of baby in that bath water. There’s a lot of really good stuff in here about tightening up your writing – especially on a sentence level.

                                                                              * Make it easier and cheaper for libraries to cultivate readers.

                                                                              * Treat the backlist as a valuable resource, not a shelf of antique canned goods.

                                                                              * Produce beautiful physical books that are a joy to hold and own.
