BOOK REVIEW The Barbecue at No. 9 by Jennie Godfrey Published 12 February Full review ➡️ t.ly/F4xqD “If you loved TLOST then you will love this. A whole raft of emotions… it highlights how important family, friends and community are.…” @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @jenniegauthor.bsky.social

In Conversation with Jennie Godfrey (Online). Weds 29 Apr, 7-8.30pm. An evening with the hugely popular and engaging #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of #TheListOfSuspiciousThings and #TheBarbequeAtNo9. @jenniegauthor.bsky.social www.curtisbrowncreative.co.uk/course/in-co...

My early review of The Barbecue at No 9 by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social is live. Now all I need to know is, when is book three coming out? booksbyyourbedside.org/2026/01/12/t...

The Barbecue at No 9 by Jennie Godfrey #TheBarbecueatNo9 @jenniegauthor.bsky.social #BookReview randomthingsthroughmyletterbox.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-...

In 2nd place, it’s our 2024 Book of the Year - The List of Suspicious Things came out in paperback right at the beginning of the year and has been a huge seller ever since.

My second-favourite book of 2025 was The List of Suspicious Things. Such a warm book about such a terrible time. Wonderfully original. @jenniegauthor.bsky.social

📚TWO MONTHS TO GO!📚 Yes that’s right, there is only TWO MONTHS until you can get your hands on #TheBarbecueAtNo9 by the amazing @jenniegauthor.bsky.social Plus if you pre-order now you can treat yourself to one of these three fabulous editions - which one is your fave?❤️ #BookSky📚💙

How lovely is this?! The List of Suspicious Things has been chosen as an Indie Next Pick for January 2026 in the US. These books are all chosen by booksellers, which makes it extra-special for me. The novel is published by @readlandmark.bsky.social on 30th December and I CANNOT WAIT.

Let’s take a look at the Pillar of Popularity…! There are two re-entries, one from Jennie Godfrey and one from Dav Pilkey. PLUS There are three books that carry one from last week including Always Remember and Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret…

Two former CBC students, bestselling authors @jenniegauthor.bsky.social (The List of Suspicious Things) and Jack Meggitt-Phillips (The Beast and the Bethany), are sponsoring scholarships for the Writing Your Novel courses they previously studied on. 🎉 www.curtisbrowncreative.co.uk/breakthrough...

My physical & mental health means I struggle to attend in-person book events, so I was thrilled to be invited to join a select group of bloggers and @jenniegauthor.bsky.social to celebrate her upcoming book, The Barbecue at No 9, out in Feb (FYI Jennie is an absolute delight - I love her 💕)

Just realised that the physical edition of this magazine is the first time I’ve had a print ad for my book. And it features a quote from @jenniegauthor.bsky.social too. 🎷🎷🎷

I am so happy that The List of Suspicious Things is a Library Reads pick for December in the US. This is v special to me because it’s chosen by librarians & as everyone who has read TLOST knows, libraries & librarians play a huge part in the book (as they did in my formative years).

📚#BookReview📚 5⭐️One of my most anticipated reads of 2026, #TheBarbecueAtNo9 by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social doesn’t disappoint! In the words of Queen, Jennie run down that road screaming “Don’t Stop Me Now”, you’ve smashed it out the park once again! Full Review 🔗 tinyurl.com/4mhv8bku #BookSky📚💙

Book number 7 of the holiday is the new one from the fabulous @jenniegauthor.bsky.social out in Feb 2026 from @penguinbooks.bsky.social @penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social 📚💙 #HolidaySpam #BookSky #VisitBarbados #TBANN

Into the Top 3 now... @jenniegauthor.bsky.social is first up with The Barbecue at No 9. Set during the broadcast of Live Aid, this is the story of one cul-de-sac in 1980's Britain. I loved it! Get your signed and dedicated copies: bertsbooks.co.uk/product/the-...

The proofs of my second novel The Barbecue at No.9. arrived at my house today. I’m quite emotional. Not only are there quotes from two of my favourite authors (Marian Keyes & Rachel Joyce) but it just is incredible to me that this is my life. Feeling all the feelings.

The List of Suspicious Things is out in the US on 30th December, and I CANNOT WAIT! If you want to preorder it, then this is your opportunity. For a limited time, Barnes & Noble is offering 25% off all pre-orders for readers with a (free) B&N Rewards account. www.barnesandnoble.com

Just seen the proof design for The Barbecue at No9 and I cannot WAIT for them to be printed! I wondered if I would find it as exciting as my debut and I can confirm I REALLY DO 😆 #booksky

I got so excited by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social ‘s visit earlier in the week I completely forgot to mention that she brought her friend Taylor Swift with her

The US reviews for #thelistofsuspiciousthings have started to come in & honestly? I’m so chuffed! I had this idea that maybe the novel would be too ‘northern’/specific to appeal & I couldn’t have been more wrong so far. I want to get the words from the Kirkus review tattooed on 😆 #booksky

Thrilled (and pretty shocked TBH!) that The List of Suspicious Things has been shortlisted for the Glass Bell Award this year. It’s such a phenomenal shortlist, including some of my own favourite reads of the year (and my mate @sarahbrooks.bsky.social ) #booksky

Been v.busy writing this past couple of weeks so just 2 books for the round up, but both doozy’s. My fave TV show is Somebody Somewhere & my fave character is that of Joel, played with the utmost humanity by @jeffhillers and his memoir, Actress of a Certain Age is just gorgeous

This never, ever gets old. We love @bertsbooks.bsky.social

I am so happy to be returning to the Cheltenham Literature Festival this year, on Saturday 18th October 3-4pm, where we will have a book group session on The List of Suspicious Things. The festival runs is from 10th-19th October📚🍂 Tickets go on sale 4 September

The copy-edits are done ✅ The map is on its way to the designers ✅ The kick-off meeting is in the diary ✅ The invitations to the Barbecue at No.9. will be going out soon…. #booksky

At the @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social 90th birthday party, guests were given a limited edition print to celebrate & mine was by the uber-talented Dapo Adeola. I’ve just collected it from the framers & omg I love it so much! Thank you Dapo, thank you Penguin & HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY #booksky

Ey up. It’s Yorkshire Day, so it would be remiss of me not to point out that The List of Suspicious Things is my love letter to the county. #booksky

Very happy to be number 4 on the @bertsbooks.bsky.social pre-order charts! I’m copy editing today and it’s a good reminder I’d better get on with it 😆 #booksky

Today’s train selfie. Behind the smile is a woman so tired I could cry! But heading into London for secret squirrel 👀 (reference for all you 80’s kids out there!) meetings before a properly looooonnnnnggggg break. #booksky

@cbcreative.bsky.social were such a huge part of my own writing story, it’s a thrill to be speaking at their masterclass this year with my incredible publisher, Venetia #writingcommunity #writingsky

The Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook @Writers_Artists was an essential tool for me in finding an agent & understanding publishing. I’m thrilled to have written for about my path to publication, dealing with rejection & setbacks along that path for the 2026 edition. Out on 17th July

What are your memories of Live Aid? I asked lots of people this when I was writing The Barbecue at No9* & some of those memories have found their way into its pages. (*Live Aid forms the backdrop to the events in the novel, links in bio) PS check out my very glam perm 😆

We love @bertsbooks.bsky.social

In September @michaeljbooks.bsky.social release the first four books in The Mermaid Collection featuring “unjustly neglected novels” written by women in the second half of the 20th century. Available to pre-order now individually - or order all four in one bundle! bertsbooks.co.uk/product/the-...
