What an amazing book. So clear, concise and conversational but at the same time startling, strange, deeply moving. Hearty Congratulations @elfodongo.bsky.social and @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

This is a wonderful book. Psychedelic and alien yet recognisable, moving, precise. Many congratulations @peirenepress

Is this a cover of the Bryan Adams song?

Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh is essentially unputdownable in my view. So moving, so believable, so unsparing of yet merciful towards its characters. Funny and heartbreaking (what more can you ask for?).

“…the magic of neighbouring winds when they are inter-weaved like ribbons at a wedding.”
It was such a privilege to be able to read this book. It is funny and angry and pacy and timely. Nicola Barker really and truly has one of the biggest imaginations in the business.
Also shows how the @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social imprimatur has become a distinctive and noble tattoo
I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. It’s a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @jomcmillan.bsky.social

Looks good that
That makes a lot of sense to me
So bold and yet so elegant
I feel like this is one of those books the reading of which will make you a better writer.
