On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue…
I shall now be doing another TWO events @hayfestival.bsky.social this Saturday. Do come along. They will be fab events, promise.
Treated myself to some of my favourite potters new wares. Oh the books I’m going to read while drinking tea out of these Elizabeth Macneal mugs!!!
My International @thebookerprizes.com longlist predictions. With a little help from a certain someone 🐈⬛
post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains
Have just seen a preview of #Hamnet. I am ruined. Cried through the last two thirds pretty much consistently. What an incredible film (and I was nervous as I love the book soooooo much!) phenomenal acting and so stunning visually.
After 12 weeks since he went missing… a Christmas miracle, Earl is back. Came down to him eating the last of the cat biscuits and asking for more, as if he had never been away! #caturday
Happy November 18th to all who celebrate. I’m celebrating by curling up with the third of these tonight. #booksky #SolvejBalle #OnTheCalculationOfVolume
Fabulous night @thebookerprizes.com last night. Congratulations to all the shortlisted authors and the winner, David Szalay.
Lovely evening and morning in London with my mum and little sister. Bacchae’s, biro’s and book shopping.
One of the best things about books and the book world is the friendships it’s brought my way… and one of the bestest is @antonhur.com. Just pure joy.
Currently reading. Amazingly written and very emotional... a little bit bleak for a first holiday read but will quite possibly be one of my books of the year #booksky
Fab night last night hosting Reeta Chakrabarti and Garret Carr at the wonderful Wimbledon Book Festival. My penultimate* event of 2025. *well, you never know what may come up.
Thrilled to be on the @climate-fiction.bsky.social prize judging panel this year, this is why…
Fab time hosting Sarah Hall at West Kirby Bookshop last night and discussing Helm which is one of my favourite reads of 2025. If you’ve not read it you MUST!
What a privilege, and so much fun, to host Priscilla Presley in Bristol tonight. Can’t quite believe it happened. Big thanks to @faneproductions.bsky.social, can we do it again? 😉
Delighted to be one of the judges for the @climate-fiction.bsky.social prize. Really looking forward to all the reading ahead, submissions are now open. I’m ready for aaaaaaaall the books. climatefictionprize.co.uk/2026-prize/
I can’t quite believe that I’m typing this, mainly because I’m pinching myself… I will be in conversation with Priscilla Presley in Bristol next weekend at the Hippodrome. Come along if you can, will be a fabulous Saturday night www.atgtickets.com/shows/an-aud...
Fabulous night @thebookerprizes.com shortlist event at the Southbank. I was delighted to be invited and hear all the judges insight and discover what the six shortlisted titles are! #bookerprize #booksky
