⏰ It’s FATHERS DAY in just a few days! 🔥 Will he want one of these books? ..probably not. But he didn’t get you that foot spa you wanted either, did he?? So, bollocks to him.
It's almost that time of year when my wife sits next to me on the sofa and glances at me like I'm a piece of shit. Because of what Alan Rickman did to Emma Thompson in a fictional film, released over 20 years ago.

Controversial.. but does listening to an audiobook REALLY count as reading??
Well.. depends. If you’re listening to Frank and Red.. which for the next 24hrs has got a bunch of money off.. then yes.
(If it’s ANY other book..
then still yes. Course it does, don’t be a book snob). #audiobooks

If you only read one book ever again (not sure why you would, but if you do) then make it this one. I laughed, I hurt deeply, I cried, I fell in love with the characters who are so relatable and unapologetically human. Possibly the best book I've ever read. This will stick. @manvsbaby.bsky.social

THE ONLY MONSTER is coming soon…
I am so massively proud of this book! In a world where everything seems to be going to pot, it’s a ‘beautiful story about love and family’.
Preorders always very welcome!
And thank you so much to Waterstones for including it in their early bird offer! #booksky

This Valentine’s Day I am reminded of the time my seventy-odd yr old mum went to Pound Stretcher and bought a tube of heart chocolates to donate as a church raffle prize and it turned out to be a vibrator.

Just finished 'Frank and Red' by Matt Coyne - 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. One of the most heartwarming and hilarious books I have ever read. Red reminded me of my own little boy, which added to how much I loved this book. I suspect this will be a contender for my favourite read of 2025! @manvsbaby.bsky.social

Look, I know I said I’d shut up about Frank & Red for a bit, but I am contractually obliged to let you know.. the paperback has JUST been chucked in the bargain bin on the big river site that rhymes with Blammazun. 🔥 If you haven’t already read it, now would be a good time. #booksky
