I am spending Sunday morning in Skylark Bookshop while #puppyyoga is going on among the books and I can't help feeling that somewhere along the way I must have managed to do something right.

It's not been a great week for the legal profession (see: indictments) but this article restores the balance somewhat. It's a bit of a heavy read in places but worth the slog.

Welp. The new book is off to my editor this morning.

Two incredibly shitty Supreme Court decisions and now Alan Arkin. I am going back to bed.

Today I am (a) slow-roasting a six pound slab of pork belly for seven hours and (b) interviewing Ari Shapiro. Grateful that my life hasn't quite turned out as I'd imagined. #bookseller #porkbelly

Won't lie, watching right wing twitter melt down over Kevin McCarthy is quite fun.

What an utter shitshow. So many lies. #trump

Another great talk from Unbound Book Festival, courtesy of Fiction/Non/Fiction!

If you missed this great conversation at the Unbound Book Festival - well, now you can listen to it, thanks to the Fiction/Non/Fiction podcast!

One of my favorite moments (among many!) at this year's Unbound Book Festival was moderating the #amazonsucks discussion with @MisterCaine and being able to call on (I think) every questioner by name. #community #becauselocal

Don't miss this!

Apparently it's International Be Kind to Lawyers Day today, so there's that.

I love digital media but sometimes you just can’t beat old-fashioned paper and ink. instagram.com/p/CqddKEPOPI-/…

Twitter is quite a fun place this morning.

I mean, I haven't one song remotely as good as the original. It's like I'm listening to a pretentious cover band. #U2

Will someone please help me understand the point of this U2 album?

If you want to see the (more or less) complete line-up of authors for the 2023 Unbound Book Festival, you can go and look here: unboundbookfestival.com/authors2023
It's a pretty staggering line-up. Come and be bookish with us in April!

Who thought that putting on a book festival just after the tax deadline was a good idea, who, who

Slightly late birthday dinner. Gordon Ramsay’s coq au vin followed by sponge cake. Cooked by most excellent child. instagram.com/p/Cpbe0rIOv5P/…

It was a good birthday. #paperbag instagram.com/p/CpOBLH7uV0K/…
