And an ENORMOUS thank you to the lovely Will Dean for these incredible #TeamTuva goodies and signed bookmark. Those lights will look fab in my library 🥰 #booktwitter

The bookmark wall is shaping up #BookTwitter ! Thank you so much Abigail Yardimci for these gorgeous additions ❤️

A murder mystery dinner... on Halloween... in the very place that inspired Tom Hindle for the location of a murder mystery that becomes a real murder... what could go wrong?! #BookTwitter

Not only was afternoon tea delicious, I was given it half price for being such a lovely customer 🥰 The kindness of strangers is an amazing thing!

Sat on a shady bench reading in the park. So far a woman has stopped to ask what I'm reading, a gentleman told me not to read too fast or I'll run out of book and another told me how civilised I looked sitting here reading. Being a reader is like being part of a giant bookclub 🤣

I can't believe that not one of you posted photos of the northern lights 🤷‍♀️

(I mean, I was in bed early with a stinking cold, so I think we all know who the winner is here...)

The sea just makes everything feel better, doesn't it?

💨 POOF 💨 😏

There I was quietly enjoying some cake when this chap decided he wanted to share it. I gave him a few crumbs and then when I didn't immediately provide more he squawked at me loudly. And repeatedly. And got 2 friends to gang up on me 🤣

#NoLifeForALady shot up the Amazon rankings today. Pretty sure it's all down to Bookaholic Bex's marvellous review of book 2, #HowToSolveMurdersLikeALady , out in June. How can I thank you Bex? Victorian bon-bons? 🍬🍭🍦

Twitter offering my adverts for 'recreational helicopter users' tells you all you need to know about how screwed up the algorithms are.

We need to talk #BookTwitter . Why isn't everyone reading the Castleby series? I'm 100 pages into book 5 & oh my GOD, I'm hooked! JM Simpson (Jo) Five books in the Castleby Series. is an incredible writer & I defy anyone not to find these addictive. Go on, give them a try. If you don't love them, I'll eat my hat.

Behind all the laughs, I am struggling a bit with life right now - there is an awful lot going on. Sitting here at dusk definitely helped - just the sound of the birds and the sea lapping the pebbles. This is for anyone else who needs some relaxation. Sound up.

Happy Thursday boys and girls

It's official #BookTwitter - I need to be Violet Hamilton's bestie immediately! I didn't think it possible but this is even better than the 1st book - an absolute triumph. I laughed, I gasped, I loved it! Hannah Dolby you're a genius. More please I need more!!! #BookRecommendation

I track how much meaningless small talk I have to make when I could be reading instead

Overheard in a cafe today:

'I don't know what to do any more. My husband reads all the time. He doesn't ever stop.'

Reader, I think her husband may be one of us.
