More adventures in Bookland! It was an honour to attend the launch of Katie McCrory's WHERE THE HEART IS at Daunt Books. Katie is the daughter of my dear friend (and former creative writing lecturer) Moy. Also, enjoy a bonus pic of @emreadsthebooks.bsky.social and I at the The Ivy--because why not?

I've kicked off my reading for #BlackHistoryMonth with one of my new favourite writers, I'm trying to read all of Percival Everett's work
This one is so confounding and off the wall! I don't think there's another writer like him and he never writes the same book twice!

If you need a book that's like a balm to read, to soothe the soul of any book lover in these troubled times, this has been the book for me these past few days
I now just need a long correspondence with a beloved bookshop... Any offers...?

Quirky and quippy and just a little bit wonky
Lost Lambs has me hooked and I'm tipping it to appear on the women's prize list this summer
The humour in the book is a bit off the wall and very much my style

Starting off my reading year with Wally Lamb feels like a good omen
I Know This Much is True is one of my all time favourites and this one starts off with as big of a shock as that one does (IYKYK)

What better way to spend Jane Austen's 250th birthday than re-reading my favourite of her books, Persuasion (although Emma has crept up just behind it)
Where would we readers be without Austen? I don't even want to imagine it

This beautiful Chiltern edition (which I collect) of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (which I wanted) was sent to me without a note or name
I'm guessing someone here might have something to do with it???
Whoever it was I'm sincerely touched and can't thank you enough 💞💞

A really wonderful day out and about in the Big Smoke with one of my favourite people! This was my 3rd time seeing Hadestown, but @emreadsthebooks.bsky.social 's first. I love it more each time.

I took part in Dunelm's delivering joy at Christmas again this year
Only one kid asked for books but I put a book into every parcel, you never know, that one book could be their first access point to books & could spark a lifetime love of literature
All kids should have access to books!

During my re-read of Emma I decided to turn this gorgeous notebook into a commonplace book, noting down my favourite quotes from all the books I'm reading
