My phone just asked me to verify my age, and when I said OK, a message came up saying I’d had my account so long, I was clearly over 18 and now I feel ancient.

From this side of the pond, it looks like they only do what benefits themselves, so I’d suggest perhaps not.

Ever wish you could take a photograph of what’s on your head? I just had this really vivid dream that I wish I could capture, but pinning it down in words doesn’t do it justice.

The Darkness can refer to different elements in Ragnar JΓ³nasson's novel. One is the darkness of the soul - guilt, regret, grief.

What did you all think about the themes of guilt and regret in the book? Let us know at worldbookclub@bbc.co.uk

The hip surgery would require at least 4 months of crating, and he’d be so so miserable, we don’t want to put him through that. He’s happy enough with a heated bed and pain meds at night. He still has great quality of life ❀️

Glad to hear Bryce has recovered well - give him cuddles from me ❀️❀️

She’s half-springer so very energetic, and has ruptured tendons in both knees, but hopefully she’ll recover well and continue to have great quality of life. Her older brother has hip problems but at age of 13, we’ve decided against surgery as it’s managed well with meds.

REVIEW: Mrs Sidhu’s Just Desserts – SukΒ Pannu Mrs Sidhu - Caterer. Problem Solver. Action hero? I absolutely adored Mrs Sidhu in her first full length outing, Dead and Scone, so I was really excited to be back in her world in her new adventure - Just Desserts. When hired to cater a high-end art gallery event, the cooking utensils are pushed to one side when one of her waitresses is found murdered, and a priceless art piece is stolen.

REVIEW: Mrs Sidhu's Just Desserts. Cosy Crime with everyone's favourite Indian Aunty who is unapologetically herself always. I just adore her!

Thanks for the opportunity! Was Hidden Iceland always planned as a series? If so, was the plan always to write the series in β€œreverse”? I’m also really enjoying his current series, which takes place immediately after The Darkness :)
