I highly recommend reading this wonderful 🧵by @RebeccaStott64 on the research behind her brilliant novel DARK EARTH which comes out in paperback today. I promise you will learn things about London, Romans and the Anglo-Saxons you never knew! https://t.co/hKsNEhoSNo

I love that @CecilekvPin includes Xiaolu Guo’s A CONCISE CHINESE ENGLISH DICTIONARY FOR LOVERS in this list because reading Pin’s absolutely wonderful debut novel WANDERING SOULS immediately made me think of her as a writer in conversation with Guo. https://t.co/7bOQKshVQt

During my 2 days with Faiza Guene this week in UK to talk about the publication of DISCRETION, I have kept thinking of this photo taken in March 2020 in library formerly known as the Codrington just after she had sent me the manuscript. Yes, Faiza, take all the space you need ♥️ https://t.co/12EdDLTenU
