Booked to see this Friday in my favourite cinema, The little picture house in Bath

Let’s all stock up on books and read under the blankets until the weather gets better. Then we can go read outside. - Michael

How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead with Trump making statements like this?

I know it’s not vital politically but King Charles should cancel his visit. Trump does not warrant that honor.

I am going to be so disappointed if King Charles makes his trip.

I've stumbled across #ladiesoflondon how horrendous are these ladies, Annabelle and Caroline Fleming seem lovely, the rest are awful and just shows money cannot buy happiness. I feel sorry for their children. Candice must feel relieved she got out quick

Tea in bed, another chapter of Clare Mackintosh, Its not what you think, a surprise gift from a friend. Was going to wait till paperback came out. Happy Monday.

Also loved when asked for advice about writing @claredchambers.bsky.social encouraged us all to read debut novels,either from buying or borrowing from the library.

Really enjoyed last night at my local library in Devizes listening to @claredchambers.bsky.social, talk about Shy creatures. I'm still undecided which is my favourite Small pleasures or Shy creatures I loved both, also reading her others, finished learning to swim and now reading A dry spell

Friday 13th has not been kind to me, went shopping in Chippenham and a loose paving stone sent me flying! I've not broken anything but im having trouble moving my arm, feeling very sorry for myself....Kazuo Ishiguro, When we were orphans is keeping me distracted from the pain

Starting tge day with hearing sad news and a dog that has an upset stomach, not a great start. Honestly just going to read a couple of chapters of my book, and escape

When you can't wait to pick up your book, because you really want to see who's going to die in it. #happy tuesday #akillerinparadise

What do you read after this #wutheringheights really struggled but switched to audible and i started to get into it. Glad I read it, but not sure how I'm feeling now 😕 Have no idea what to read next

I've just finished a book that I absolutley loved, untill the last page. Some people said it was only the way it could end. I disagree and say screw you! #room706

Little weekend away, to Devon and I'm taking #room706 don't think the hotel is that big to have that many rooms, just imagine thou if we actually got room 706.... oh and im going with my husband #ellielevenson

Losing Diane Keaton and Rob Reiner and Catherine O'Hara in quick succession is a pretty big blow for people who enjoy elementary things such as "laughter" and "joy"

I am 💔 I cannot believe Catherine O'Hara has passed, Damn you 2026 and we're still in January! Its too sad

Sunshine and starting this Deep in the water John Marrs thanks @bertsbooks.bsky.social

UK should do the same. Because he grossly disrespected our soldiers, he threatens us with tariffs, he has his own police force that kidnap citizens as young as 5, murder 2 citizens in daytime, on camera and lie about it, still hiding the Epstein files. Pick whichever reason you want and boycott.

Loving this book #thekindworthsaving #peterswanson, and the rainy weather just means I can read more

My weekend is sorted Thank you @bertsbooks.bsky.social #themysteriousaffairofjudithpotts #robertthorogood

Just watched #whatnottoeat what a lovely family in the first episode, so glad they got their act together and turned their life around.

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” ― Henry James

So. which Stephen king book are we doing today, folks?

Wins the Internet today

I don't think I have to tell most people who follow me why libraries are important, or that they're under threat in the UK. But I want to make sure everyone knows Lambeth libraries are going on strike and there's a solidarity hardship fund HERE linktr.ee/savelambethl... #KidlitUK #SaveLibraries

Ah. Despite the mischievous headlines I didn’t say this was now standard English. Rather that ‘mischeevious’ (which used to bug me no end) is an example of how, for centuries, English-speakers have often moved the sound of words to something more familiar. www.thetimes.com/uk/history/a...

No sunshine! How rude! Not getting out of bed till I've finished First wife's shadow Adele parks #happysunday

Who better to comment on bringing up children than someone who doesn't know how many he has?

I might have devoured this during a couple of train journeys this weekend. It might be absolutely incredible and a candidate for my Book of the Year. But let's preserve some mystery, eh? - Michael

Beautiful Mothering Sunday little afternoon tea on a canal boat, sunshining, fresh cream scone and a glass or two of rosè #happydays

In the 1960s Switzerland had some of Europe's filthiest waterbodies. Now its cities boast near-pristine rivers & lakes: "We are united by a love of water". Lessons to learn here, about building emotional connection to water as well as infrastructure investment. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Don't forget mothers day on Sunday, a book lasts longer than a box of chocolates.

Just walked the dogs, and it's strange weather, it's feels stormy, and the farmers have a fire somewhere so lots of smoke about

Roses are red Violets are blue

If your kid still has a World Book Day token, the final day to redeem them is March 23rd

It's come to my attention that some people believe you can't buy a new book until you've read the books you already have. Let me assure you, as both a lawyer and a writer, that this idea is legally and morally WRONG and BAD. Buy more books.

Good morning, if you ever get in a reading slump, may I suggest Broken Country by Clare leslie Hall, read 150 pages last night, could easily of read the lot, but needed sleep, can't wait to to pick it up today

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

#worldbookday and my @bertsbooks.bsky.social subscription came ##agathachristie and Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall

This is just gorgeous

Love this me thinks it's for @potustracker.us AND @nigelfarage1.bsky.social

Time for a bit of reality - a thread. Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills. The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter. Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.

I could not love this woman any more x x
