Spent the morning at Cambridge University Library floating around just about the best exhibition I've ever been to. If you love crime fiction and are within, say, 1 to 2 thousand miles of Cambridge, you've got to go... and it's free to boot.

Calling all armchair detectives!

This World Book Night (23 April) join Cambridge University Library for a KILLER evening of mystery-solving, crime fiction, live jazz and cocktails! 7.30-10pm.

Big news in the world of literature! - a sequel to Hippos Go Berserk! by Sandra Boynton slate.com/culture/2024/0… I don’t even need our copy of the original any more: I can recite it, and once did, at work

It's The Boat Race today! In a nod to our exhibition, Murder by the Book, here's the 1933 edition of The Boat Race Murder by R.E Swartwout. The author was cox in the victorious 1930 Cambridge crew and drew upon his experiences to pen this mystery!

I have been really surprised to discover that Peter Pan and this exhibition have something in common: they both contain a lot of murder!

There’s a new Lego set in my house, featuring a person who wants to read her book and drink a coffee. I strongly relate.
