“Men often ask me, 'Why are your female characters so paranoid?' It’s not paranoia. It’s recognition of their situation.” Born on this day in 1939, Margaret Atwood.

Help us get in the spirit for The Ambassador's Reception by tweeting your favourite popular sayings from the Ferrero Rocher Extended Universe (#freu) with the hashtag #theambassador. @strongmisgiving's got some great examples.

November people hunched inside their parkas no longer embracing every little wisp with a smile. They've sailed through summer leaving love of a certain kind behind now finding the raspy words to express their affair with solitude. I walk with November in my eyes. #sedserio

A bookshelf that speaks of unfinished dreams, collections of love and loss ever whispering your name, from dusk til dawn chapters dance and all I see is your ghost, and sometimes, a sunbeam falls on these dusty pages - like a semblance of hope... #TLPoetry #Poetry
