Snufkin has detected I am eating a piece of cheese on a cracker and is doing his Oliver Twist approach (which doesn’t work). You’d never know he had his dinner half an hour ago.

Why yes, I am ready for my 10pm online interview ...

This new book from Adam Smyth sounds terrific! He explores binders, papermakers, small presses, as well as lending libraries. Includes chapters on Nancy Cunard’s Hours Press, Mudie's Circulating Library, & William Morris’s Kelmscott Chaucer.

If you feel so inclined, my collection SIR HEREWARD AND MISTER FITZ is shortlisted in the Collections category, and my novel THE SINISTER BOOKSELLERS OF BATH in the YA category. But many other fine books to vote for, of course. Voting closes in a few days.

I’m delighted that THE SINISTER BOOKSELLERS OF BATH is a finalist for the Lodestar Award, in very good company!

I fly home tonight. This morning I visited an important site featured in THE LEFT-HANDED BOOKSELLERS OF LONDON.

Last Monday night I rehearsed my fearful looming shadow attack with a friend outside Edinburgh Castle.

Walked (scrambled a little) up to Arthur’s Seat to see the sunrise this morning and the wonderful vista of Edinburgh laid out before me 😂 (still beautiful though)

Off to Edinburgh now, to do some research. And surprised to see, completely at random, another GollanczFest author guest!

Made this fan piece of @Garthnix's Sabriel for a dear friend's birthday.
