Buying a book and actually reading it are two very different hobbies.

Start of a new Starter Pack, this time for literary events.

If you are one or know of one on Bluesky, please let me know.

This sounds delicious. You’ve got lucky friends!

The best news!

A book token for me so I get the added gift of browsing a bookshop, agonising over my choices, eagerly taking them home and then not reading them until two years later 😅

It’s been a joy to work with Colm Tóibín on our latest book - a brand new edition of Washington Square by Henry James. I can’t wait to share his superb introduction with readers 💙📚

Congrats Rory!

Hi! This is all v exciting and new 🌱

Good tips here!

The best news. I was at a loss after Cecily for what to read next and here it was!

Adding it to my list. I bought Constanza yesterday on your rec, you’re going to bankrupt me!

Same!

I loved Cecily and didn’t know she had another novel too, what a treat!

Skippy Dies by Paul Murray

The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toibin

Trespasses by Louise Kennedy

Oh, they’re super cute!

Fab list, thank you for including me!
