I’m on the 4th Hoon book at the moment. I didn’t think the audiobook was out today for the new Logan?! It just said kindle and paperback on Amazon yesterday. I shall hasten forthwith! And I agree about Angus King, he’s brilliant (so much so I won’t listen to him narrating other books because he is Logan, Hoon et al to me) 🤭

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/03/2023 04:09

Not yet, will read first as with audiobooks if I haven't read then first I tend to get distracted and miss bits when my brain wanders off!

Having introduced DP to the world of Logan and Hoon, he can't get enough (which I am loving as his normal reading material is at best, Terry Pratchett (nothing wrong with that)... at worst, ghost written Warhammer drivel... ugh.), so we're working our way through Logan from the start!

Thanks, everyone!

@JDKirk you get extra bonus points for sharing your baked oats recipe for me late at night on Twitter 😅

Just finished the last Hoon book in time for the new release 👍

Hey JD! Grin

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/03/2023 12:58

Hurrah for Me From The Past... pre-ordered it, s'already there in me kindle. Lovely!

Heads up. 'A Litter of Bones' DCI Logan book 1 is available on kindle for 99p or free on Amazon Prime.

Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sure the second one, Thicker Than Water, might be 99p, too. Both only in the UK, though.

I think.

(Nobody tells me anything.)

You're very welcome. It's so good, isn't it? I might do another 'Cooking with Bob & Berta' recipe using that on my blog.

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/03/2023 18:38

Is Berta's soup on there, I need to go and look - could do with some soup!

Not yet, but lots of people have requested it. There's just this one so far:

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/03/2023 18:42

Found that one... tsk, get a rocket up a Hoons arse, either will do...

This is a new level of procrastination for me, heckling authors for recipes when I am meant to be a/answering live chat questions as the 'resident expert' on a chat portal and b/researching for a book about cats and possibly c/general life admin...

I am REALLY pleased with myself, ta!

BertaHoon · 01/03/2023 19:01

Ooh is the new Logan out now? 28th Feb was it?

Stressful few weeks.

I am so going to spend my weekend in bed with you @JDKirk . In my real persona, not as Berta !

I think there's a bunch of newly reduced books because of the new month. I've not checked 'em all.

I actually felt a bit mean posting it, I don't know if it affects your income from the titles Blush

Oops! Nearly forgot💖

BertaHoon · 01/03/2023 19:08

I've got the new J M Dalgleish to rinse too.

Who's to go first?

Mmm bed....

Promises, promises...

JDKirk · 01/03/2023 19:24

@IcakethereforeIam I'm more than happy for people to get it for 99p or free. I have to give permission for the discounts/freebies when Amazon asks, which I always say yes to.

Growing up, I did all my reading at the library because A) there were no bookshops within 60 miles, and B) we had no money to buy books, even if there had been. Free books for the win, I say!

BertaHoon · 01/03/2023 19:24

JDKirk · 01/03/2023 19:21

Oh, like that is it?

In that case, I'll rinse the Dalgleish and take my time with you captain! 🤣

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/03/2023 20:25

Bah, work got TOO BUSY to listen to my audio book (we're on A Whisper of Sorrows here, but im also reading the latest on kindle later... I like to multi-task)... I can't listen AND write replies to people in live chat... gah.

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/03/2023 22:37

Oooooooh!...

Mr @JDKirk .... could we be mindful about what tracks you have characters ask Alexa to play please?

Because my Alexa just started playing a track Shona asked for... cos it can hear my audio book!

modern tech problems no one ever had before

UnfinishedBusiness · 02/03/2023 08:45

FFS. Now I have a shit ton more books I need to read. On top of the shit ton of books I’ve already got lined up needing to read!

Just finished a litter of bones, now on to the next. I’ll hold you all personally responsible for me getting fuck all done for the next couple of weeks.

Nice to learn a new word, “hoaching”. I’ll be trying to squeeze that in to a sentence some time soon.

Dablikeacrap · 04/03/2023 17:56

Glad to see new fans popping up ❤️❤️

I still fancy Hoon 😂 (currently on an isolated incident)

JDKirk · 04/03/2023 21:39

@Dablikeacrap Even I quite fancy him in that one. Have you read the Hoon series?

Dablikeacrap · 05/03/2023 13:47

@JDKirk not yet. Will I fancy him more or will it give me the ick?
