A rare and wonderful thing, when a TV adaptation matches the joy of reading the book. Having a narrator works so well. Leonard & Hungry Paul on BBC iPlayer - check it out. Author: @ronanhession.bsky.social Publisher: @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Good morning. Lottie walked. It’s a tad moist out there. Time for a brew.

A favourite from the BBC archive. Fyfe Robertson interviews Huddersfield Thunderstorm gurus Mr and Mrs Morris and Edith Bower. @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and I featured Morris and Edith in the first episode of our podcast The Last King of Elmet back in February. fb.watch/DaEpE9VvV9/

Watch this for perfect autumn sofa-snuggling, evening-tea-drinking, escaping-the-world TV. Then read (or reread) the book.

We're delighted to be publishing Sharon Duggal's new novel. LIGHT ON THE PLAIN - September - 2026. Her 3rd with Bluemoose. Should We Fall Behind, her second novel was short listed for @rsliterature.bsky.social Encore Prize and selected for BBC Two - Between The Covers. @thebookseller.com

Good news! I loved Should We Fall Behind.

Hugely excited for this! Am such a big fan of @sharonduggal.bsky.social brilliant writing! This is great news. 👏💛💛👏 #books #BookSky

The Brian's too.

You couldn't make this up. From a newspaper I won't promote but they absolutely love Leonard and Hungry Paul @ronanhession.bsky.social 'BBC viewers left 'crying happy tears' by 'pure delight' new comedy series after binge-watching all six episodes.' @waterstones.bsky.social

Time to see what all the fuss is about! I didn't get round to reading it when it was a @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social - they put out too many good books it's impossible to keep up - so the new edition will have to do. My punishment is the "now on TV" 'sticker' on the cover. I am suitably humbled.

Just arrived in the mail and am looking forward to reading this. First learned of this book while watching someone read it on the El in Chicago for their entire trip. They hardly looked up. They just stayed focused and kept reading the whole time. That’s a good rec for me.

I just binge-watched the tv series, and was very gently enchanted. Now I need to read it. (Normally I'd read the book first, but I was stranded all alone with a powerful need to watch something kind. I cracked under the pressure.)

It warms the cockles of my heart to see Leonard and Hungry Paul @ronanhession.bsky.social Travelling the globe. Like a real time game of RISK without too much risk. Brilliant.

Good morning. In episode 3 last night Grace describes her brother Hungry Paul like Winnie The Pooh. She means it as a slight insult but I think we should all be a bit more Winnie the Pooh. One of the books that saved me. The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. And here's L&HP too!

Am incredibly moved the brilliant and erudite @genesegrill.bsky.social wrote this about my novel ‘The Orange Notebooks’ (out with @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @pressassembly.bsky.social .)

Yvette has good taste

Wonderful wonderful tv. This is how fresh and great tv can be when they adapt from a superb book instead of rehashing the same tired old things. Thank you Rónán Hession for writing this book and @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social for making that leap of faith to bring Leonard and Hungry Paul into the world

Many thanks to Yvette Huddleston @yorkshirepost.co.uk Her TV pick of the week is Leonard and Hungry Paul @ronanhession.bsky.social Episode 3 is on BBC Two tonight at 10pm and on BBC iPlayer. Marvelous. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/arts-and-cul...

Good morning. Lottie walked. It's dreich out there. Time for a brew.

What a joy this adaptation of @ronanhession.bsky.social's novel Leonard and Hungry Paul is. Utterly charming and very funny. Highly recommended @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Lulu Allison’s Beast: I only read the final pages in the early morning hours. It’s a book that can help you find courage. Help you believe again in a purity to art when the whole game seems to be overtaken by commerce & craving for validation. Still crying. Available from @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Always listen to Lulu @luluallison.bsky.social Thank you.

Finishing The Accidental Immigrants by Jo Macmillan. Really elegant exposition for a horribly chilling and familiar-feeling tale. Perfect for our times. Great read. @jomcmillan.bsky.social @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Always listen to Lulu @luluallison.bsky.social Thank you.

This post has been in draft a while but it feels particularly timely given the strike over pay that starts tomorrow (27th Oct) at the British Library. If you've ever despaired at the low salaries at the BL now is the time to act in solidarity www.pcs.org.uk/news-events/... #BritishLibraryOnStrike

Morning all! As predicted not much reading time on our family trip but worth it for the memories. This week I've got Mark Kermode's Surround Sound lined up for non fiction & Celeste by @colettesnowden.bsky.social / @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social for fiction, plus a whole stack more! Happy reading!
