It's FA cup final day today and you know what that means: it means Gwynnie has to decide whether to watch the match or go to the prom with the boy she fancies

Sure, when the library does it it’s fine, but when somebody wants to borrow one of MY books and I ask for ID I’m being “ridiculous”

Excited to see this with @bikefit.bsky.social tonight

My new credit card has an expiry date of 2030 and I'm not okay

Look what I saw @garypanton.co.uk In the window at Waterstones Putney. Go you

Please, call me Jelly Roll, Gelatin Roll is my father.

I think Sheryl Crow's version of The First Cut Is The Deepest is better than the Rod Stewart version. Ironically, I think that's because I heard her version first

I'm the guy who designed the 'Please Wait' buttons at pedestrian crossings, and let me tell you – angrily pressing the button over and over again *does* make the lights change faster. I designed it that way on purpose to reward impatient geniuses.

I'm sick of the misogyny, Linda McMahon is not just Vince McMahon's wife, she is a lying sack of shit in her own right! Give women credit 💅🏻

i would like to thank the funny people for being funny thank you very much to the funnies, the funny poster people, the funny.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

A PANINI AND A BAGUETTE ARE NOT THE SAME THING Not that I have strong feelings about it

Hands up if one of the main reasons you became a writer is because you like buying pretty stationery

while The Horrors persist, let us celebrate less horrors overall…. because all three mega fires in Los Angeles are finally 100% contained!!

IN YOUR FACE, CHARLES SO-CALLED DICKENS.

We were up until 2am after a burst pipe flooded town. Opening late today as we need to put everything back after clearing floors. Thankfully no damage. Others weren't lucky. If anyone is looking for a book you can order online at wonderlandbookshop.co.uk. Can't see what you want? Ask! #kidlituk

IF you're in the market for a book, this is a fabulous shop and floods mean opening isn't an option!

I can usually tell I'm right by the sound of my husband furiously googling something followed by complete silence

Does anyone else feel super relieved now that bin days are back to normal?

Do you have/know children between 4 and 15? Do they enjoy books and writing stories? Then you could steer them in them direction of the annual DAUNT BOOKS CHILDREN'S SHORT STORY COMPETITION. Please share this! Entries close 31st January. Good luck!

So my publisher, Chicken House Books, has loads of exciting new children's and YA books coming out this year. Here's a very cool set of postcards showing off the covers (I've positioned mine right in the middle cos I'm a massive egotist).

One week apart

ME, SOBBING: Please, Emily, you can't give all your 100 characters the same 4 names EMILY BRONTE: *points* That's Earnshaw Linton. *points* That's Cathy Heathcliff. *points* Heathcliff Linton. *points* Cathy Cathy. *points* Earnshaw Cathy Jr. *pause* And they're all GHOSTS.

When the internet router is glitching turn it off and turn it back on again so it resets. It'll also show that mf who's boss

in the article of former North Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry:

Some advice. If you're worried your tbr pile looks too big, just move it further away, so it looks smaller You can then buy more books. #books #Booksky

if i were bono, i’d quit music & open up a gluten free bakery called “Where The Treats Have No Grain”

Whenever I hear people online blaming ‘Woke’

FINALLY I can announce, in time for Christmas: I've just signed a contract for my seventh book with Bloomsbury - exciting! #BookSky #EduSky #poetrycommunity

Hah those no punctuation dudes are total snowflakes. I’m writing my current novel without vowels. They’re totally superfluous and distract from the hidden higher meaning in my work. Its working title is: Fck y rdr.

you know who should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? Sisyphus

Please share :)

Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

has there been a piece about Giselle Pelicot by a man, reflecting on what he's learned about masculinity, about himself and about other men from this horrific case? I feel I've seen so much by women, but it wasn't women who bloody did it. It's not women who need to reflect on how it could happen.

Delighted to hear that ‘The Dodo Who Dreamed She Could Fly’ by me and Claire Powell was featured on CBeebies today as the lunchtime story! I would love to be able to watch it! Anyone know if there is a way to watch? I can’t find it on Iplayer! @simonkids.bsky.social @cbeebies.bsky.social

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh
