First time ordering Palestinian food and itβs already 11/10 for the portion size
Not to be a grumpy old man but can the Youths stop constantly saying Fuck, every three words, on the train. Learn to swear properly, or donβt bother.
Have made the mistake of browsing the menu for the restaurant I want to dine at tonight. Meanwhile, Iβm stuck on this train for another hour and twenty.
Amazing!
Obviously Iβd love to see any of my books adapted for the screen, but every day without a Stepfather Christmas movie is a day I suffer π
Oh theyβre arriving!!!
Omg amazing!

What a week! Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen, including Pentland Ferries for sponsoring my travel, @hazelmpinner.bsky.social for the organisation, and Orcadian Bookshop for having me for a visit alongside St Andrews, Hope, Burray and Papdale schools on Orkney.
None of this week would have been possible without Hazel, sheβs gone above and beyond to make these visits work - organising schools, accommodation, and even feeding me!

IT'S NOT JUST ME, Manta loves it too! @ldlapinski.bsky.social

Hideous hour to be awake, in order to catch the ferry to get back home, in order to catch the train to get to Glasgow for the Wee Write tomorrow
Please come, so my 5am start feels justified: www.glasgowlife.org.uk/event/1/magi...
And aside from celeb endorsement of reading, the real difference will only be made by every school having a library and librarian and giving them budget for books and author visits. All the rest is just fluff for Instagram. 3/3οΏΌ
i just started this and immediately had to take a minute bc it opened with the mars rover Opportunityβs last words π’
now a few chapters in and having to pause bc my bath is getting very cold but YES VERY GOOD you should get this book

Racism is a hell of a hypnotic drug
Bizarre to me that the people statistically most likely to need the nhs are the ones planning to vote to dismantle it

Thinking about the girl I knew at uni who got a massive (and I do mean MASSIVE) dark mark tattoo on her upper arm. Wondering what sheβs up to these days.
Cannot wait for this! See you soon, Aberdeen!
Out now! In paperback, hardback, ebook and audio!
For a tiny bit more context, there are approximately 4,000 public libraries across the UK. βUp toβ Β£150,000 in funding equates to βup toβ Β£37.50 per library, or βup toβ a couple of hardback books apiece.
Happy #NationalYearofReading, everyone.

Sat down and wrote 1000 words of a new book whilst dinner was cooking, Orkney does this to you apparently
The real excitement starts tomorrow!
Couldnβt have asked for better! Although I suppose itβs always like this up hereβ¦.!
Orkney you have been very wonderful today but now I have to lie down for 100 years
