Book bedtime (remember I have a German Shepherd shaped early alarm clock). I am now juggling three different stories but I can’t put this down. SO atmospheric. Out from Grove Press UK Atlantic Books in March and it is SPECTACULAR. #ReptileMemoirs


Thank you so much for your kind words Joanna Cannon - you made my day by making me feel seen. And I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying Silje Ulstein’s incredible novel - it really is a belter, can’t wait for it to hit the shelves! ❤️

ALSO forgot to say, I finished #ReptileMemoirs. Oh. My. Goodness. What a beautifully dark and twisty story. Jaw-dropping twists. Pin-point plotting. I also grew v fond of the snake! Huge congrats, Silje Ulstein, it is bloody brilliant. Out in March from Grove Press UK Atlantic Books

I loved #ReptileMemoirs SO much and it's out in paperback today. So fresh and original, and (although I do not speak Norwegian) I am in awe of Alison McCullough's superb translation. Pin point plotting and jaw dropping twists. And a SNAKE (I grew very fond of the snake!)
