What a lovely post and pic! Big thanks to my giveaway winner @philgroom.bsky.social for sharing this @orendabooks.bsky.social

I have a copy of the 1935 1st edition ('illustrated by Bip Pares'). Yet another of the writers of that era I was collecting decades ago being rediscovered and republished. www.lesleyahall.net/wmwrtrs.htm (must update the note for Ertz)

In love with this new edition of Woman Alive by Susan Ertz - rediscovered and republished by @manderleypress.bsky.social Written in the 1930s, it's the story of the last woman left in a world of men in an imagined 1985 #BookSky

Happy publication day to @annesenes.bsky.social whose beautiful Double Room comes out in English today - in a masterful translation by Alice Banks This book utterly captivated me and still lingers… #BookSky #NewFiction

Just found these in our old road map and I'm remembering how my mum would tell me directions and I'd make these notes and tape them all along the dashboard 🤣 SatNavs have to be one of the best inventions to enter my life #Y2Knostalgia

Just having a little cry at this... "As much as we (and Robin) would like to be ordered and prepared, we aren't and we can't. We have to seize the moment, we have to realise that today, here and now, is our life and we have to treasure it and try to live it to its fullest"😭

Doing a daft face in Dulwich Books where their wonderful support has helped Happy is the One fly in its first week ☄️📘😀 @orendabooks.bsky.social #BookSky #HappyIsTheOne

☄️📘😀 Thank you @scotlandchris1.bsky.social

"Living is right now!It’s not when we have money, or have lost weight, or when we have better health. It’s now, when we’re skint, fat and feeling ill. Whatever life looks like right now, we absolutely must live." This captures exactly what I was trying to say lotuswritingtherapy.com/2025/05/27/h...

I'm writing a piece about the story behind Happy is the One and thinking again that if someone wrote a song about my main character Robin, it would be Radiohead's Creep. Incidentally, I once met Thom Yorke after a gig in Wolverhampton and he kindly (but inaccurately) signed my ticket
