Your TBR pile will now explode!

And now: all the mysteries I read through July

The past couple of weeks were quite the adventure, with me attempting a cycle holiday (who knew a pasty bookish creature was unfit for such a task? I should have, but I did not, reader).

I also finished three weeks of antibiotics in a crash landing post holiday and then leapt into preparing a training, which I gave August 11 on novel planning and preserving your energy level. (I know — the irony!)

There will be a product version of the training soon. (You can get notified here, if that strikes your fancy.)

But let’s get to the reading! The heat is back in Berlin, likely for the rest of August, so we want you on your beach lounger with something scintillating. Here are even more options.
