Chairing the launch of @elainefeeney.bsky.social ’s spectacular new novel Let Me Go Mad In My Own Way, I talked to so many intelligent people I felt my brain swell by osmosis.

i loved maggie nelson’s new book (to no one’s surprise).

written with more or less perfect emotional pitch: melancholia balanced with humour, grief and pain tempered by joy. full of warmth, wisdom, and weirdness.

see you on monday: 4 days, 3 romcoms, 1 french musical, 3 novels, 14 coupes of champagne, and my own weight in popcorn from now.

when visiting 15 bookshops on tuesday, in a remarkable show of self-discipline, i came home with only these.

starting the levy tonight, a glass of wine, an empty flat, blueberries. i’ve read 1 of her novels before, but the memoirs are a whole other species of text, no?

just finished the dystopian coming-of-age THE MORNINGSIDE by @teaobreht.bsky.social – a thrilling, magical, beautifully written novel. i flew through it, but expect it will stay will me for a long time.

thank you @letticefranklin.bsky.social & @wnbooks.bsky.social
