Lovely Friday night in Northallerton with @tenpennydreams.bsky.social - tea at Ontano Lounge followed by a visit to Northallerton Library to hear the wonderful @karenpowellwrites.bsky.social talk about her novels #TheRiverWithin and #FifteenWildDecembers. Very civilised start to the weekend!

Had a gorgeous night last night celebrating The List of Suspicious Things by watching @jenniegauthor.bsky.social and @adamjfarrer.bsky.social in conversation, with beloveds @thereadingpara.bsky.social @karenpowellwrites.bsky.social @sarahbrooks.bsky.social 💜💜💜

Bowled over to receive my PLR statement and realise how many readers have borrowed my books this year - libraries were everything to me as a young reader, still do so much to make books accessible to all #plr #fifteenwilddecembers #theriverwithin ⁦‪@EuropaEdUK‬⁩

A blue book for Blue Monday. "The River Within contains multitudes"—LA Times "[her] style and tone reminiscent of an earlier generation of reticent yet emotionally brutal writers like Shirley Hazzard and Graham Greene. A mesmerizing escape.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) #booksky

This is very exciting news - can't wait to read @ruebaldry.bsky.social!

Rue Baldry@ruebaldry.bsky.social · 2y ago

I am very proud and excited to be able to announce that my novel, Dwell, will be published by @northodoxpress.bsky.social in 2026! I couldn’t hope for a better publisher for my historical lit fic gay love story. I’m really looking forward to this! 🌈📖🎉

Having had a sneak preview, I can confirm that @adamjfarrer.bsky.social is on top form with his new essay collection Broken Biscuits and Other Male Failures - now available for pre-order. Oh, and if you haven't read his debut memoir Cold Fish Soup, you're missing an absolute treat!

Adam Farrer@adamjfarrer.bsky.social · 2y ago

Because an essay collection isn’t the easiest thing to convey in a single post, here's a thread outlining each of the essays, which are 'by turns tender, disarmingly honest and achingly funny' (@tawseefkhan.bsky.social) Pre-order it now if you like. linktr.ee/adamjfarrer

I've just finished this beautiful book. I need to get myself to Haworth, thanks @karenpowellwrites.bsky.social for such stunning and vivid descriptions of the natural world inhabited by these amazing women, I could almost feel that wind blowing! 📚❤️ #Booksky #Booksky💙📚#Brontes

Currently reading Fifteen Wild Decembers by @karenpowellwrites.bsky.social and captivated by the powerful voice of its narrator, Emily Brontë. Such an intimate, insightful interpretation of her life.
