Hard agree

I’d watch Jessie Buckley read the phone book. Can’t wait to see her in this

Headline from the Times: "Bestselling novelist Jilly Cooper dies in fall aged 88", illustrated with a rather famous black and white picture of Virginia Woolf

Epic; no notes

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

So, I managed to get in touch with Nat West directly and they say they will accept dollar cheques if you take them into the branch. Result!

It looks like the only way – and of course my session has times out now, so I have to start the claim all over again. Grrr!

Apparently Nat West stopped accepting them in 2024 along with several other banks

That's what I thought but it turns out that Nat West won't accept US dollar cheques. I feel that can't be right

Authors! Is anyone else making a claim from the Anthropic Settlement? I've filled in the whole claim form but there doesn't appear to be a payment option that works for the UK. Anyone got advice?

We know it but seeing it reported like this is so depressing

Hard agree!

A great endorsement from @lizfremantle.bsky.social for Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy. Elizabeth has written so many wonderful historical novels, including Firebrand, on which the major feature film was based last year

‘A fascinating exploration’

Florence Pugh won her first Oscar in 2020. Sorry to be a pedant!

Why stop drinking coffee? It’s one of life’s great pleasures

A must listen for me!
👇the epigraph of Sinners!

It’s all Greek to me – Plato and Socrates tackle a Captcha test: the Stephen Collins cartoon Tick all the images with chariots …

Plato & socrates – are we human? 🤣

If you haven’t yet discovered Poddysy then I urge you to do so. Alex Andreou weaves a wonderful web of culture through time. You will love it.

Yes! I forgot

Watermelon, feta, black olives, mint and lime juice. Also nice with duck.

Thank you 😀

If you like an author's books and want to make their day then drop a review on Amazon (you don't have to have bought through them). It really makes a big difference algorithm wise. If it happens to be my book well..... 🥰
