I have the great pleasure of reading an advanced copy of @victoriadowd.bsky.social’s new novel, the first in a series set featuring journalist Charlotte Blood. It’s a brilliant page turner, written so visually I can see it being a TV hit 🐦‍⬛#DeathInTheAviary www.waterstones.com/book/death-i...

1. Delighted with my PLR statement, which is where authors get paid a small amount when their book is borrowed from their local public library. Thanks to everyone who read my books and please keep doing so! Big thanks to Warwickshire Libraries for supporting me.

I've joined Warwickshire Libraries' book bingo! The idea is to read a book in each of their 12 categories. First up I'm on non-fiction. Borrowed three today. Next is a book with a yellow cover. Can you recommend a good one please? (Not Yellowface - already read it). #books #readers #bookbloggers

Here are the two books I received for Christmas: ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ and ‘Much More to Come’. Have you read any of them? Which one to dive into first once I’ve finished the other books I’m reading? #books #reading

Please, if you're able, support Independent bookshops in the run up to Christmas. Their curation and knowledge will help you choose books that no algorithm can. And algorithms don't smile and chat to you either. @bookcornerhx.bsky.social @forumbooks.bsky.social @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social

1. I’d love to know the secret to a book going viral on social media; a #celebrity saying they loved your novel; getting a mention on #BetweenTheCovers; & your novel hitting the zeitgeist. #AnswersOnAPostcardPlease

Why do royals send #ChristmasCards with their photo on the front? If I receive (very rare) a similar one from an acquaintance I just know a round robin typed letter bragging about how marvellous they all are & the summer cruise they went on is going to drop out … 😡 www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1...

This is a terrible day. It truly is #BlackFriday. It’ll go down in history as the day politicians gave up on life and protecting vulnerable people, favouring the views of rich celebrities over disabled people’s groups. I weep for our country & those who will suffer under the radar. #AssistedSuicide

This is your Black Friday reminder that actual book shops can't afford to discount like Amazon and supermarkets do. If you can, get full price books but also a full heart.

MPs, in tomorrow’s #AssistedDying / #assistedsuicide vote pls remember LIFE: reasons to vote no. Lack of safeguards; Insufficient palliative care; Fear of death/loneliness/burden/pain; Economic pressures.

I had tears in my eyes when I finished reading #Sycorax by @nydiawriter.bsky.social. It's magnificent - a beautifully-written, poignant tour de force blending myth, realism, magic, loneliness and the reality of living with chronic pain. #MustRead #NewBook www.waterstones.com/book/sycorax...
