My favourite visitor is back 🦊

Well this is kind of bonkers, a lovely kind of bonkers though!

Have had the loveliest long weekend with my best friend of 38 years @pollyhowden.bsky.social and made a new BFF in the process. Was a bit teary waving them off at the train station.

My @womensprize.bsky.social for Fiction Predictions are now live on my channel here. It gets harder and harder every year, so many fabulous books that are eligible… youtu.be/SUQcYeVpgLM

Reading Horizons - What I’ve Read, What I’m Reading & VOTE for What I Read Next here youtu.be/1cEanNFCjnA

Everything I read in January. Must be better at sharing what I’m reading as I go on here… he says almost halfway through February. Oops. #booksky #reader #books

Next month I’ll be hosting this gorgeous historical fiction trio. Can’t wait. Do come along. It’ll be fun. Promise.

Really exciting second ever @womensprize.bsky.social non-fiction longlist announced this morning. Loads I want to read, have a few on the shelves already. Any you’d head to or direct me to first? #booksky #books #readers

Very intrigued for this list. Not long to go!!!!

@susannahstapleton.bsky.social look what’s arrived today 🥳🥳🥳🥳

January Reading Wrap Up youtu.be/AMSyUw2ktNc

Recommendations required please. Where would be a nice place to go in the UK with some nice restaurants and a fab bookshop or two for a last minute weekend? Not asking for a friend… asking for me. Ha.

As always a lovely Patreon book club tonight. Philippe Besson’s Lie With Me was a big hit!

January Book Haul #booksky #books youtu.be/6zIVILzCZe0?...

Sad to hear about Marianne Faithfull who I had the pleasure of interviewing in a former life as a showbiz correspondent for a queer magazine. She was a fabulous talent and a delight to talk to.

Had a lovely wander round Oxford this afternoon.

Can’t quite believe I’ve just interviewed Sarah Waters. She was so brilliant. One of those career pinch me moments. Thanks @womensprize.bsky.social for trusting me to do it!

Time for some… 5 Star Predictions #booksky #books youtu.be/Q_p5bq4jTNw

One more sleep until the #WomensPrize Book Club with Sarah Waters🤩 The livestream of tomorrow's event will be available to ticket holders to watch on catch-up for month after the live event – just book your tickets before 4pm tomorrow! bit.ly/SarahWatersB...

Cannot wait to see #TheLibrarians in full. For now though this is a must watch and must share. #booksky youtu.be/5wVYlBU9V-Q?...

The only sport I’m vaguely good at.
