After the exciting whirlwind that was @islaybookfest.bsky.social ‘25, I’m now busy preparing for the four events I’ll be chairing at Wigtown Book Fest! Very excited as it will be my first time going to Scotland’s National booktown. Thanks so much @islaro.bsky.social for inviting me to take part!

A beautifully written book about what it feels like to live with OCD. Hugely recommended, particularly if you know people with this condition, as it will give you a very good idea of just how tremendously brave they are forced to be on a daily basis. Scorpions by Tuppence Middleton, out on Feb 27th

So in awe of Samantha Harvey’s Booker Prize winner ‘Orbital’ that I followed it up with her no less astonishing ‘The Shapeless Unease’. Her prose reads like poetry.
