Alphabet Dot To Dot Book For Kids Ages 3-5: Christmas: A Fun Educational Puzzle Activity Book for Toddlers, Preschoolers, Children With Bonus Coloring
Fun World
First read of Christmas ‘22: THE GOD OF GOOD LOOKS by @BreeMcIvor. A gloriously fun and uplifting story set in the glamorous - and oft not-so-glamorous - world of Trinidadian MUAs (make-up artists, to you & me). Beautiful & sexy. I loved it. Out May ‘23 @FigTreePenguin https://t.co/e9xF3q567C

Eighteen Seconds
Louise Beech
£1.99 is an absolute steal for what is ostensibly someone’s entire heart & soul … Do yourself a favour & invest in a copy of @LouiseWriter’s memoir, EIGHTEEN SECONDS 💛 https://t.co/vvXcMeBisK

The Shining Girls
Lauren Beukes
@tattooedjackie I think it sounds like a speculative James Patterson. Maybe IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE by Jo Callaghan, or THE SHINING GIRLS by Lauren Beukes?

The Things We Do to Our Friends
Heather Darwent
And this from the @irishexaminer: “This book succeeds as pacy entertainment and Darwent’s incisive gaze shows her to be a promising young writer.” So good to see these reviews @HeatherDarwent. THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS is a conversation-starter! https://t.co/JHdgtXLLZ0

This Much Is True
Miriam Margolyes
So I finished reading Miriam Margolyes’ THIS MUCH IS TRUE yesterday, wherein she mentions director-extraordinaire Sonia Fraser, with whom she worked on Dickens’ Women (if anyone knows MM, do share this with her; she may enjoy it) 🧵

13 Minutes
Sarah Pinborough
This book has been a while in the making and ever since I read the first draft, I knew we had something special. SHE HAD IT COMING is perfect for fans of Sarah Pinborough’s 13 MINUTES and @CarysJAuthor has played an absolute blinder. Happy Publication Day, Carys! https://t.co/z3bFr2IPYE

Strange Sally Diamond
Liz Nugent
Book 3 of Christmas reading ‘22: STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND by @lizzienugent. This was a hard-hitting, heady mix of humour, uplift & *severe* emotional damage. I’d be amazed if this wasn’t up for all the awards next year. Just brilliant. https://t.co/RvydegbAAv
