very smug to get back from a fortnight of annual leave and a 24-hour whip around the country to one of the hottest proofs of next year — thank you Javerya Iqbal and Francesca Main for an early copy of The Names. out May 2025 from Orion Publishing

Oh my goodness, this book... The Lamb, by @lucyrosecreates is one of the most horrifying, beautiful, and memorable things I've read. Gorgeously written and incredibly moving (and also very disturbing). I miss Margot's vivid voice already... Out in Jan from W&N

You'll find me here for the rest of the afternoon (#orionwinterhours), re-reading the spectacular debut novel from Florence Knapp, #TheNames 🐻 Not pictured: me, wrapped in a fluffy blanket, with a mug of hot chocolate and a slice of Get Baked chocolate cake—living the dream 🧡
