Splendid new review of the Brackenbury, this time by Helen Parry, on Shiny New Books. Grateful to all. shinynewbooks.co.uk/no-such-thin... @hejparry.bsky.social @kaggsy59.bsky.social @shinynewbooks.bsky.social

For Karen and Simon's next club, which will feature titles published in 1961, I have this beauty to offer. His funniest novel, and a complete joy. @kaggsy59.bsky.social @stuckinabook.bsky.social

My final read for #shortstoryseptember is a remarkable collection by Rosalind Brackenbury, reissued by Michael Walmer - No Such Thing as a Free Lunch. Why she’s not better known is beyond me! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2025/09/27/f...

OK, the Waterstone's pre-order promotion is now on, and finishes Thursday midnight. 25% off. Quote 'Summer25' on checkout. waterstones.com/campaign/jul..., to look at the landing page for it. And www.waterstones.com/book/no-such... for the brilliant new Kennedy-introduced Brackenbury included!

The new Brackenbury (No Such Thing as a Free Lunch) is part of Waterstone's summer promotion of forthcoming titles. For the period July 28 to July 31 there'll be 25% off if you pre-order. Once the page is up at midnight, it's just a matter of selecting it, and then quoting SUMMER25. More tomorrow!

Announcing another proud moment. A new Rosalind Brackenbury is always a pleasure. This is her first short stories from 1975 - the original's a very rare stapled booklet. And the added fillip of a splendid new introduction by A. L. Kennedy. Published August 25, 2025. @hejparry.bsky.social

On the Ramblings today, a sobering and prescient book by Saki from @mikewalmer.bsky.social - my thoughts here: kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2025/05/07/p...

Oh look I wrote a blogpost! The wonderful 'lost classic' A Share of the World, by Hugo Charteris, re-published by @mikewalmer.bsky.social. My contribution to #ReadIndies month, hosted by @kaggsy59.bsky.social & @lizzysiddal.bsky.social. gallimaufry.typepad.com/blog/2025/02...

My first contribution to #ReadIndies, with Stella Benson's 1924 novel Pipers and a Dancer - pub. by Michael Walmer. @kaggsy59.bsky.social @lizzysiddal.bsky.social

Another review copy, from @mikewalmer.bsky.social who releases beautiful editions of Saki books. This one sounds like it might be alarmingly relevant... 😬

Today on the blog, a rather singular book for #readindies by John Cowper Powys from @mikewalmer.bsky.social - it really is like nothing else I've read! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/s...

Lovely review on Shiny New Books by Rob Spence of my recent reissue of May Sinclair's 'Nakiketas', her first book from 1886. Thanks @spencro.bsky.social ! @kaggsy59.bsky.social shinynewbooks.co.uk/may-sinclair...

a splendid campaigning intro to Janet Burroway's unjustly maligned second novel from 1965, The Dancer from the Dance. Rehabilitation starts here. I love working with these people. @drharrietd.bsky.social

A brilliant first review for Radclyffe Hall's 1934 novella The Lover of Things (Zephyr no. 10) from Liz Dexter of Adventures in Reading. Thanks to her. @lyzzybee.bsky.social librofulltime.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/b...
