Now that's what they call a page turner. Scenes from a Tragedy by @carolehailey.bsky.social has a deliciously dark villain - who also happens to be very funny. Gripping stuff!

It’s many years since I first read The Picture of Dorian Gray and I’ve no recollection of the excellent preface written by Oscar Wilde as a response to the critics who condemned the first edition for its ‘immorality’… there are some real gems for writers and readers 🧡💚

Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.

Snow is falling in London (son sent us a video!) so thought you might like a reminder that here in Scotland we name the gritting machines and there’s a site that tracks where they all are! My favs are Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and Spready Mercury ☃️😂 #writingcommunity #scotland

She’s not on here, but I’m going to say it anyway - Holly Battle designs the BEST covers 😎 @atlanticbooks.bsky.social

I should be writing. I want to be writing. But I want to continue reading The Morningside by Tea Obreht even more 🧡

On a Sunday morning, she likes to practice her ‘take me for a walk’ look 😂

A major #authorgoal of mine is to write a book with a map at the front 🗺️ Looking forward to getting stuck into this one after I’ve visited my husband in hospital - he had a double knee replacement yesterday and is currently high as a kite on OxyContin 😂

I have news!

Delighted to learn of the Japanese concept of Tsundoku - the art of buying more books than you can read. I suspect I am not alone in being a seasoned practitioner

Whilst I’m not leaving X as yet, I would very much like to spend more time here. So, if you see this and you’d be kind enough to share it to let readers find me, that would be greatly appreciated. Hi!

I read this incredible exploration of memory, grief and anger in two sittings. Rebecca Watson is a genius!
