Very interesting review of Bogdan Alexandru Stanescu's novel THE BLACK SUN www.observatorcultural.ro/articol/soar...

Holy crowly, #FURTHERMOOR is four-years-old today! Seriously proud of this book. People have gone out of their way to tell me it's helped with bullying and grief. And it felt so good to write. Just poured out of me, almost fully formed. Happy birthday to Bren, Evie, Featherly and co. 🎉

Sadly we lost the great Robin Baker this January. Dr David Whitehouse wrote this obituary. Robin lives on his paradigm shifting, entertaining and ever relevant books

Another review of the great ABRAXAS by Bogdan Alexandru Stanescu for the French edition published by @gallimard.bsky.social www.lacauselitteraire.fr/abraxas-bogd...

It’s a great book

#ReadPalestine Day 4. Mazen Maarouf’s #JokesForTheGunmen is a powerful, disturbing and darkly hilarious short story collection. Longlisted for the International Booker Prize, this is a testament to Palestinian resilience, steadfastness and humour

What a lovely review: #Refuge “is a collection that walks many roads, but which holds up a signpost: Love is always the one path forward through violence, even if just for a moment of self-redemption.”

Wahey, #THIRST has been longlisted for the @sparkbookaward.bsky.social!🎉 These awards are voted for by pupils from across hundreds of schools, so I'm pleased as pie to be part of this. Happy reading, all! 📚♥️ @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social

Had the pleasure of working with the #TheLittleBookshops for some #THIRST events yesterday. The good folk who run them are knowledgeable and passionate and helped to make it a really fun day. If you're ever in Leeds or Skipton, these gorgeous bookshops are well worth your time. 📚♥️

[1] A few pics from #NoLimits yesterday. What a glorious happening this free festival is! Personal highlights include Matt Goodfellow's hilarious/insightful talk, meeting Pushkin-crony Liz Hyder in person, sharing green-room sarnies with a panto dame, learning of Normanby Hall's albino peacock ->

Looking forward to speaking with readers about #Refuge: Stories of War (and Love). Some more dates to be added and tickets are for sale now for most of these. Would be wonderful to see as many of you as possible (Will add links for events in replies)
