A perfect read for International Women's Day and every day, I feel.
A fabulous work by Cia Brayfield.
I thought this was a rather fitting read as we make our way through Wiltshire on this Solstice day. Another fantastic work by @BookwormVaught, with beautiful illustrations by Maya Chessman.

Orbital was not only the bestselling book of the shortlist, it was the bestselling book because of indie bookshops.
It's currently the fifth bestselling book across Indies in the UK.
The moral here? Listen to Indies, they know what's good.
‘Sometimes you encounter a book and cannot work out how this miraculous event has happened’
We're delighted to announce that the winner of the #BookerPrize2024 is Orbital by Samantha Harvey. 🌌✨

How do people like Trump, and, for that matter, Johnson get elected? They divide people up. Bernie Sanders could see this 20 years ago.

Today of all days, read a book suffused in kindness.

Allow me to introduce you better- you’re a researcher for Isabel Oakeshott who is married to Reform Party MP Richard Tice. You’re not a journalist. You’re a propagandist making up “sources” and announcing non-existent scoops.
Hope this helps. 🙏

Today is the feast day of St Jerome - the patron saint of translators - so 30th September is International Translators Day - dedicated to translators & language specialists!
So for something different - what are you favourite translated novels, poems or phrases?!

The tea you drink while staring out of the window at the rain on an autumn Sunday is one of the all-time best teas.
