Thank you, Patricia-San! My husband and I have often wondered who this lady is, and admired her elegant attire. I think on Day 15 this time she was wearing a modern outfit and hairstyle, if I remember correctly? Just as elegant, in a different style.

OH NO

Yeah, that's fair enough: past me has done some stupid stuff! I still don't want to cancel her for the things she's hadn't learned yet (but I would like to kick her in the shin for some of the stuff she did and didn't do, agreed).

Thank you (and now I have to read the whole book). I've been thinking in recent years about how to maintain common ground while holding opposing views. I sometimes think that Past Me's opinions might not pass a purity test with Now Me. Maybe other people deserve the same grace I'd give Past Me.

I pitched a book festival event for next spring and the organiser said yes, and then three amazing speakers said yes!

How have I not come across this series yet!! It sounds very cool, and less psychotic than Yellowstone. Please read my whole book in the voice of Doc Holliday 🤠

I received my first copy of my new book from @harpernonfic.bsky.social this week and it made me say yeehaw! 🤠

I came here searching for someone else who felt like this! I'm keeping going but it's just out of bloody-mindedness. I've rarely cared less about a main character – and I realise she's supposed to be insufferable, but I feel we're not being given any reason to care what happens to everyone.

This! Also, more [clamouring] than one finds in everyday life.

Matt Hancock must be grinding his teeth right now
