Terrific review of the week, Debs, with regard to your occult detective reads. I love that you are going to be reviewing for Occult Detective Magazine! Some great treasures there!

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thanks Pat, it was a fun week. I’m really looking forward to reading and reviewing 😊

[@StephanieJCohen]

Kitty! Sounds like you had a great reading week. I am reading Moon over Soho and enjoying it just as much as the first book in Rivers of London series.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

@@StephanieJCohen I’m on Foxglove Summer at the moment. I think they’re great fun 😁

[@royreadsanything]

Glad you're finding some fun in the old tales! Yep, the John Silence stories mostly appeared in book form first, which might be one reason they're quite diverse.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

That’s interesting. Some of these were brilliant and none of them were bad which makes for a good week 😊

[@helenclare3250]

Lovely to be sent some books to review. I hope you enjoy them. The hand story sounds interesting "in his collection of medical artefacts..." Yikes. I am a scaredy cat but I love a good ghost story.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Oh I was so delighted and grateful to Dave 😊. Honestly, there wasn’t a single bad story in this little lot. They were great 😊

[@lavenderlady7441]

yay!!!!!😊

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

I definitely had a Yay week 😊

[@ravenhill-nightchill-1968]

dropping by to say good evening!

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thank you. Good evening to you too 😊

[@davebrzeski]

Just to clarify. Bev Allen & Tina Rath's books aren't occult detective, so no rush on those. I shall tell Paul 'Mutartis' Boswell that you liked his illos in ODM, and his cover for Bev's book. Videos are always improved by cats. 😉

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

@@davebrzeski thanks Dave and thank you again for sending these to me. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into them. My cat is a menace 😁

[@KatJack-vl8xj]

Obviously, you have to feed the cat before you make your video:) Jack (my tuxedo cat) says "Get your priorities straight!"

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Bad cat owner 😂😂😂
