I know Boris has a lot of children but surely he's not been *that* busy
OK, if that's how it has to be, but I need to know how this is going to be scheduled because I've got a lot on. Will it be queue-based or will I get a slot like my Covid jab?
It's going to be a warm weekend. Stay indoors and read - and the good news is that for ten days only, my new book is on Kindle for just £0.99. A SINGLE ENGLISH POUND. Here's the link! www.amazon.co.uk/Beginners-Gu...
Cheap books! For the month of June, you can get A Beginner's Guide To Breaking And Entering for just 99p. This is the cheapest possible way to get it, short of breaking into someone else's house and nicking theirs. Here it is: www.amazon.co.uk/Beginners-Gu...
Just bought a second-hand book from a Belgian bookseller. Very direct form of address they have over there.
The air war continues as I join Ryan Tubridy on Virgin in one minute!
Fun ahoy: I’m about to be on TIMES RADIO talking about Jane Austen, adaptation, and all that. And as the man who was in “Godzilla vs MegaDarcy” as part of Austentatious I know allll about sensitive adaptation.
Next was WE CAN BE WEIRDOS, a show about Wyrd Stuff hosted by some punk named @schreiberland.bsky.social . Find out my tip to avoiding witches and the truth of what you're likely to do for a living if your name is Tony Shark-Scientist. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...
It's publication day of A Beginner's Guide in paperback, AKA the cheap edition! There are hundreds of signed copies at independent bookshops and a link below for all shops. If you want a summer read, something thrilling but fun, this could be the book for you. Why not eh? linktr.ee/AndrewHunter...
Current view - just hung out with Matt Chorley on Radio 5. Terrific fun.
Literary criticism alert: I have written for the Times about one of the greatest housing novels ever, Ballard's High-Rise. It's here, and in the paper on Saturday. If you can't wait until then, and if you want a picture of Tom Hiddleston in the buff, here it is (£): www.thetimes.com/culture/book...
It is the penultimate day of the deal of the century: two books for the price of one on Audible! My books 'A Beginner's Guide To Breaking And Entering' and 'The Last Day' are both included. Here is the terrific Phil Dunster reading the former. Click here to BUY NOW: www.audible.co.uk/ep/sp-landing
I'm really proud of this one - it has been years in the writing - and I think you'll enjoy it too if you like any of my other stuff. Here's that link again and thank you to everyone who's read/recommended already. It makes a huge difference. linktr.ee/AndrewHunter...
Mega-thrill time: I'm one of 12 authors who have written a new short story inspired by the world of Jeeves and Wooster. This year marks 50 years since Wodehouse died and it's a massive privilege to enter the world of The Master and join this august company. It's called #JeevesAgain; out 16th October

Very strong vibes of the couple I met once who told me Brexit was not a problem because British people shouldn’t expect to have luxuries like *bananas* on tap
You're telling me not one studio suit had the courage to call this film NOW YOU THREE ME? Tchah.
(I also appreciate the irony of wearing an Initech T-shirt to do a job consisting of the same penstroke hundreds and hundreds of times in a row)
Yesterday's fun: here I am surrounded by 500 signed copies of A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and Entering, shortly on their way to independent bookshops around the UK. To get yours... just go to your local bookshop! Here's a handy link. Yes, my hand hurts. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-be...

We live in the worst timeline, sure, but I would also submit, one of the funniest
Genuinely can't imagine a bleaker sentence than this one. It's got everything. Truss. Bitcoin. A 'media startup'. Bedford. EVERYTHING.
Absolutely gutted to learn my friendly local VAPES VAPES VAPES VAPES VAPES shop which never has any customers might have been not entirely on the level. Back to my friendly local American Candy store it is, I guess
I went to Hampton Court this weekend and was looking at the frescos - and halfway up one wall I spotted these absolute nightmare beasts. WHAT are they? WHY are they? Why no arms? Why the, er, décolletage? Why are they dragons and babies? Historians, please!
