All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

Worth remembering that books still power a huge proportion of what we watch on our screens. 26% of global streaming shows between 2016 to 2022 were based on books. Most (72%) were by Netflix - Of the top 250 shows on Netflix last year, just under 1 in 5 came from books. We need stories.

Hetha and I re-mortgaged our house to start an independent publishing company. We're competing with Billion dollar corporates from our front room. So to see one of our books on national TV is just brilliant. Thank you! #Betweenthecovers @pollyanneconway.bsky.social @bbctwo.bsky.social
