I’ve gifted the Golden Mole twice now, at your recommendation, (and obviously once for myself too) and it’s been so well-received. It really is the loveliest book!
Oh I’m so pleased to hear that she’s out in the world! Because it’s a book I’m aid of an English charity it isn’t one that can be sold to other territories (that i could figure out anyway) So that’s so nice to hear it’s found its way across the pond regardless
Ooo snapping some of these for myself. Suggestions for history lovers or non-fic: The House of Dudley (v good cover), mystery lovers: Shady Hollow series, esp the American editions, “Darling” by India Knight for those that like a laugh and beautiful writing.
I just ordered 2 copies of Maurice for friends – those Luke Edward Hall illustrations are just gorgeous! The book from the I Thought About That A Lot essay advent calendar is also lovely.
I bought two copies of What Writers Read. One copy for me and one as a gift. The hardback is especially pretty so I will keep that one for me!😊
I read Maurice a couple of years ago and enjoyed it! Touching and poignant, would recommend
Pandora, E. M. Forster’s Howards End is an absolutely gorgeous book… I hope you have it in your collection and enjoy when you read 👌
Just picked up The Serviceberry for a friend, feels like a good new year read!

Thanks for this Pandora! Just bought the Laurie Colwin set for a friend!
Thank you Pandora, just ordered the Golden Mole from eBay for my 10 year old. X
I absolutely loved What Writers Read and promptly bought it for my friend for Christmas, I know she’ll love it too 🎄
Oh that’s such a joy to hear - thank you!
increasingly jealous of your library!!! now I must read E.M Forster
Me too!! What shall we start with?
wait i need to buy a copy of the golden mole
You must! It’s honestly heaven
I just spotted What Writers Read in a beautiful bookstore (libre book) in Brussels today! Made me happy, as I love your writing.

Love Darling - and such a giftable cover too!

This calendar sound amazing!?
It IS amazing (I may be biased as I’m the one who wrote the Taylor essay that Amy’s linked to) - you should definitely take a look!
Hard relate to that article Molly, I used it to justify my Spotify unwrapped to my family this year 😂 Swift dominated haha
Yes! Today's essay: In 2024, I thought a lot about Taylor Swift
A 41-year-old in her 'middle-age mum era' writes about the level-headedness that age brings to fandom.
