On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Delighted to see Melanie Reid has a fortnightly column in the new @theobserveruk.bsky.social & that it’s going to be about caring (her husband now has Alzheimer’s). Such an under explored subject and I really think she will do it justice.
there is no columnist I've admired more than Melanie Reid, because she took a world whose horizons had necessarily shrunk (at times to the dimensions of a hospital bed) & found something new & interesting in it to say every week. An incredible feat of writing www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...

Brilliant, insightful and thought-provoking piece. Love #HelenGarner and @thewrengirl.bsky.social too!
‘You might say she ended where she began, moving from being a plagiarist of her own life to an acclaimed celebrator of the poetic quotidian.’

Reviews are subjective! Sometimes I’m sure I’m reading a different book… 😳
Read what you like. No shame in giving up on a book that isn’t hitting the spot—you can always come back to it. A bad review doesn’t always mean a bad book, and a good review doesn’t always mean it’s worth your time. #Books

Orange is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba is funny to her marrow in this wild, witty whodunnit set in the White House. It’s a very happy experience indeed … right down to the cameo from Kylie!

It’s sooo good! So sad to reach the end of #BadSisters #Season2 - entertaining, moving, engaging to the last shot. We need #Series3!
Bad Sisters is a brilliant series, but the title sequence is essentially the season précis - it’s so fun to watch an episode then spot the reference!
