I really loved this piece from @ImogenWK on going on a Gone Girl themed river cruise attended by Gillian Flynn herself https://t.co/Ux3jSe8Kbj

@AmyDonegan Also did some excellent holiday reading while I was away, if I do say so myself: reading @alicemjslater's Death of a Bookseller, @CSittenfield's Romantic Comedy, @katherine_heiny's Games & Rituals and beloved Ann Patchett's Tom Lake and I recommend each and every one.

@RosannaForte Same same. Just when I was beginning to hope I was somehow magically immune too. Have you read Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny? It’s honestly one of the most warm, charming, wry books I have read and is what I’m re-reading in my fevered state.

And it's so lovely to see two Bloomsbury titles on the HWA Gold Crown shortlist - including @natasha_pulley's The Kingdoms, which I was lucky enough to edit and was dazzled by Natasha's blend of real history, time travel and alternative history. https://t.co/UMDR6I9Qlo

@rosieandrews22 Have you read the children of green knowe by Lucy Boston? younger than The Dark is Rising audience but properly magical. I reread it every Christmas. (Caution, if you haven’t read it it will give you entirely unrealistic expectations of what a Christmas tree should be like)

I really do get the best book post. Thank you @katyaellis_! If you haven’t yet read The Great Believers by Rebecca Maki, it is one of the best novels I have read in years (and I am still ENRAGED by the actions of one character in particular.) https://t.co/iY3w3dICgj

@KirkdaleBooks Hello! Do you have a copy of The Birdcatcher by Gayl Jones in stock, by any chance?

Alison Hennessey

Really delighted to see that @JoshilynJackson’s Never Have I Ever was the fifteenth bestselling ebook in September! Especially when you look at those big names at the top of the chart. It’s currently only £3.34 on ebook for those who want to see what they’ve missed so far 👀 https://t.co/ZF0PbNkHOq

@Louiestowell Ok, I am relieved it's not just me shocked by this! Does this mean Hilary Mantel did NOT write Wolf Hall?

The Secret History was published in 1992; The Little Friend was published in 2002; The Goldfinch was published in 2013. So *surely* this means we’re owed a new Donna Tartt very soon….?
