Back in the early 2000s, when I started blogging for the first time, one of the bloggers I regularly read was the crime writer, John Baker.
Like me at the time, John lived in York. He wrote a series of detective novels set in the city featuring his accidential private detective, Sam Turner.
I revisited the series last year, prompting a bit of nostalgia for times, people, and places past.

My new bookblog - it's called 'Quite Bookish', which in time is going to become the name of my book editing business.
I took another look at S*b*a*k as a potential place to host it, but recoiled. It's such an odd platform.
In the end, I've gone for tried and trusted WordPress with my own domain.
Very pleased (and surprised) to discover quitebookish.com was available.
My introductory post tells you what it's all about.

Been rereading the City Watch series lately and had to DNF Jingo cuz it just feels a little too on the nose and there's no Sir Sam Vimes and Patrician IRL :/
Might boop over to the Wizards series as it's been a hot minute since I've read them.
