This year’s Booker prize longlist looks in new directions Former winner Kiran Desai leads a varied field, while Alan Hollinghurst misses out

I agree with @justinejordan.bsky.social that Alan Hollinghurst should have made the long-list with Our Evenings. The writing is masterful. I read it a while ago and it's still with me.

Booker longlist for 2025 suggests 'death of the male novelist' has been 'greatly exaggerated' Commentators have given a mostly positive verdict on the 'juicy, serious' 2025 Booker longlist, which some argued puts paid to the 'rumours of the death of the male novelist'.

My eye roll was so big it knocked my glasses off.

Hard agree!

Why do I keep telling you this? Because all of you have elderly relatives. Elderly relatives who are being targeted by vanity presses offering to publish their memoirs, or their picture books. Vanity presses telling them that they can make money, as long as they "invest" their life savings first.

Poor girl. I hope she didn't suffer and that little Niven thrives.

The single worst thing about allowing 16 & 17 year-olds to vote is the awful 'down-with-the-kids' TikToks MPs will be making.

Perhaps my next book should be about the Spanish nun 🤭

Out of curiosity I asked ChatGPT to summarise my latest novel Sinners, which is about the young Italian noblewoman, Beatrice Cenci, and her imprisonment and struggle for survival under the regime of her abusive tyrannical father. Look what AI said it was about 🤯

I hope you enjoy it, Heidi. x

I always enter bookshops with trepidation when I've got a new book out, as I'm so used to it not being stocked and ending up feeling miserable. So the joy of finding this in @waterstones.bsky.social Piccadilly and @hatchards.bsky.social #Sinners

OMG – YES!!!!

I’m in very good company there 😍

Artemisia Gentileschi – born on this day in 1593. Decapitation was a big theme for her, find out why if you read my book DISOBEDIENT.

It was a great pleasure to see you and so many other lovely HWA people there xx

Thank you and also for all the support xx
