I don't know how into podcasts you are, but I listen a lot whilst working. I've been listening to a Stephen King podcast called The Stephen King Boo! Club (lol), although only two episodes because I've listening as I finish books. They talk about films etc too and it's really interesting. For example, I learnt about 'Rage' which I did not know about before. Worth a listen

At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O'Neill, the ending of this one tore me to pieces the first time I read it.
And most recently, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, which I probably should have seen coming with a title like that.

Finished this yesterday:
Amazon recently made the original Executioner series available for the Kindle. I started reading the books in 1977 after I joined the Navy, and after I had been introduced to Mack Bolan's four-color homage, the Punisher whom writer Gerry Conway openly admitted he based Frank Castle on.Avatar: Here's to the late, great Steve Dillon.

Man, that's... Frank was invented as a villain and not intended to come back probably. Kinda sad. Punisher is such a great name Originally Posted by WestPhillyPunisher

Yeah, but Frank became so popular as an anti-hero, Marvel had to bring him back, for which I'm glad. Originally Posted by batnbreakfast

A case of Moon Knight. Doug Moench said the same about MK in an interview I recently read. Originally Posted by WestPhillyPunisher

Mystery author Sheila Connolly has has passed away.
I am a big fan of her County Cork series and I got to meet her a couple or so years back when she appeared with two other authors at a signing in my area. It was great to talk to someone about Ireland, who unlike me, had actually been there.Beth Hart - Fire On The Floor CD Review

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, the secret societies of Yale, magic, and a murder mystery. A very good novel, though a bit darker in tone than Bardugo's Grishaverse books. Possibility for a sequel, but I haven't heard anything.

I quite like short stories and I grabbed this some time ago, but finally I am getting around to it and I wish I had done so earlier. Each short story is based on a B/W photograph and it's just beautiful.
