November 18 is when Proust ate his last madeleine*, it's Margaret Atwood & Alan Moore's birthdays & Tara Selter lives the day (again!) in part III of #SolvejBalle #OnTheCalculationOfVolume. Catch up with the previous volumes & plunge into the next! #TaraSelterDay #SolvejBalle #ItIsHappeningAgain

And Niels Bohr dropped to a lower-energy orbit too - might that be significant...?)

Poor Young Frankie he just can't decide what to read this Halloween. Should he go with a classic or try something new like #PoorCreatures by #MairiKidd or #Mary by #AnneEekhout?

Pic of 'And Other Stories' by David Quantick with handwritten review: "I pre-ordered this excellent collection after reading just one of the stories. It's that good! Quantick's writing is fun, intelligent and immediately engaging, throughout this entertainingly eclectic mix of bizarre tales. From a single page to considerably longer, these stories from a screenwriter with credits from The Thick of It to rom-com are a fantastic read (& really quite odd!). As a bonus, buying this book supports Into Books - an innovative small indie publisher based in Glasgow. Get yours now!"
