Underrated actress, Myrna Loy. Her fault-she made it look too easy.

Update: the new Persephone bookshop opens at 10am on Weds Nov 4 at 1 Scala Street, London W1, with the proviso that this is v much a 'soft' opening, a bit like a pop-up, so there may be a slight air of chaos. But we will certainly have all our 155 titles in stock - do come by.
We have some news. This autumn we are opening a second Persephone bookshop – in London, in Fitzrovia to be precise. We had not actually been planning this, but by chance we heard about a 1767 four-storey house that had become available... More info here: persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/…

OK, #BookTwitter! I'm working in an article for classicmystery.blog on #mystery book series that should be adapted for TV that haven't been done before? Any suggestions? I've got my top five (although it might become a top ten) but what would you like to see?

There’s a version of the future where ten-second videos are most people’s preferred entertainment, where most writing is machine-generated, where education exists only in name. The only way to prevent this is for us, all of us, to begin regularly reading challenging books.
no offense but reading is literally the cure to brain rot and there’s no work around to reading books

E Nesbit on top form as the Queen of ancient Babylon asks children from contemporary London if they know the great names of power in their country, and the demons who minister to them…

V cheered that Paths in the Snow, the first of my books about Narnia, is due to be published in the United States in a couple of weeks’ time. I’m intrigued by how different the cover is from the UK edition, but how excellent it is at the same time.

I found a wonderful 1950s children's book - a pity I didn't read it back when I was young. It has a bingo line of Clothes in Books interests - witches, magic, theatricals, sewing, teashops, fetes... & is an absolute charmer. Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/…

I can't keep away from the book Laura by Vera Caspary - Sergio Angelini and I did a Tipping my Fedora podcast on book and film, and now I have come back to answer the question 'why is she wearing a tablecloth tied round her dress?' clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/…
