2025 books I've enjoyed! The Needfire by @mkhardywrites.com! Set in a perfectly isolated and unforgiving Scottish landscape, it was a gothic dream of a book - atmospheric, full of intrigue, longing, and secrets, deliciously dark, and beautifully haunting ✨️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌊🖤

Boyne: i have a solution that i think will make everyone happy Boyne: i think everyone should stop boycotting this award because of me and also everyone should be nice to me Boyne: that's my offer Boyne: i think its more than generous

Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play. ‘I feel obliged to state once more that… I too support Palestine Action. … If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith and the BBC.’

How I draft my novels:

I appreciate it's cliche and pointless to note this, but I don't think that six months into her term a hypothetical President Kamala Harris would be suing MSNBC, Bill Gates and The Guardian for reporting on her close personal friendship with a paedophile.

My comp titles are the grinding slurp of a hand in a garbage disposal and an alt.rec.sex.boobs story posted by a 14 year old in 1997
