2025 #reading recap: the year I discovered the #Discworld series and Mick Herron #SlowHorses plus his other works.
I think the lower book count is fine with me. While I enjoyed the Slough House series, I find the books to be a slog of a read until the final chapters until the end where everything happens I think he's hitting his stride with those books, didn't care of the Zoe Boehm books as much or some of the other titles I found.
Can't believe I slept on Discworld for this long. V enjoyable
The Secret Hours by Mick Herron: While technically not a mainline Slough House novel, I was told that it was a must-read. And now I know why. This may not be a Slough House novel per se, but it is set in the same world and sheds light on some key past history for some characters. It takes a little time to get going, but once it kicks into gear, it's a compelling read. It should really be included in the recommended reading order lists! #SlowHorses #Books
Finally watching #SlowHorses on #appletv
Enjoying it so far 😊
I photographed one of the actors in it. Lovely man.

Die Zeit allein im Haus meines Bruders dazu nutzen, um so viel #SlowHorses Folgen wie möglich zu schauen.

Standing By the Wall by Mick Herron: Reading this around the Christmas holidays was perfect timing. It's a relatively short story that answers a pressing question from the main novels while also, it seems, serving as a prelude to The Secret Hours. (That novel is next on my reading shelf, so I'll find out in due course!) It's also the final story in this collection of novellas, so I've finally completed this book, too. #SlowHorses #Books
“I wanted to talk to you mano a mano.”
That is… not what that means. #SlowHorses

@leonid Na toll, jetzt hab ich keine Lust mehr auf #SlowHorses (was für ein wirres, albernes Zeugs!) und meine Frau nicht mehr auf #Pluribus (was ich wiederum in alle Richtungen faszinierend finde). Und jetzt?

Very late to the party but I've just discovered Slow Horses. Jackson Lamb is the best on-screen version of John Constantine I've ever seen.
He uses experience, knowledge and bluff to own every encounter, getting one over on people far more powerful. All topped off with a beige trench coat and chain smoking!
No one told me Gaius Baltar was in #SlowHorses lol

Just finished this over the weekend. I do love the TV series, but writing like this opening paragraph is why, for me and probably others, the books remain the main event:
"What you see when you see a blank page is much what you hear when you hear white noise; it’s the early shifting into gear of something not ready to happen – an echo of what you feel when you walk past sights the eyes are blind to; bus queues, whitewashed shopfronts, adverts pasted to lamp-posts, or a four-storey block on Aldersgate Street in the London borough of Finsbury, where the premises gracing the pavement include a Chinese restaurant with ever-lowered shutters and a faded menu taped to its window; a down-at-heel newsagent’s where pallets of off-brand cola cans block the aisle; and, between the two, a weathered black door with a dusty milk bottle welded to its step, and an air of neglect suggesting that it never opens, never closes."

Bad Actors by Mick Herron: Book 8 of the Slough House novels. This one played some games with timeline that initially left me confused until I realized what was happening. It also leaves a big question unanswered for the longest time. Which only made me more enticed to keep reading, to be honest. This one could have used a little more denouement, perhaps, but it still comes together well enough. Only one more before I'm caught up! #SlowHorses #Books
Three down, three to go (there are two more after that too I think). They are enjoyable, but while the writing is good in a narrative sense, it doesn't feel particularly good in the literature sense. I'm going to have to reread some Graeme Green because I definitely remember that as truly wonderful writing.
Can't believe Pluribus already got a GG nom
