I have joined the other place but not got round to following anyone yet and probably won’t get round to saying anything either. But here’s the info if you want https://t.co/JpGTXe5LtB

[Bookseller Crow @booksellercrow]

We’re heartbroken by the death of dear Jon. Many have asked how to help. Please consider supporting our effort to honor his legacy at Bookseller Crow. Share and donate if you can. Thank you. https://t.co/0XuzAs9k3b

@librarythingtim @LibraryThing I think I joined after seeing that Guardian write up! I had no idea it was such a new website at the time. I’ve been cataloguing what I read on it ever since.

The ritual smashing of the gingerbread houses

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

This year the kids have built ‘affordable housing for lathe operators’. The ritual smashing will take place tomorrow.

@lauravarnam Bad Sisters on Apple is lots of fun. Also Silo if you like post-apocalyptic stuff.

Books I finished between July and September #bookpile #AmReading

@KirkdaleBooks Hmm yes that’s not one of the best for me, though a bit shorter than some I guess, so maybe a practical book group choice.

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

The Manc reunion I actually want.

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

@Andr6wMale Ugh, so not the right tone for this topic. I regularly go up to Manchester and over the years have done with baby, toddler, buggy, luggage, aging parents and combinations thereof. The whole set up is a disgrace made worse by how often Avanti cancel trains or cancel reservations.

@BaronChristina @BacklistedPod @MisterSlang @i_am_mill_i_am @johnmitchinson Confiscated?!? They should have been teaching it.

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

@Leytonrocks I recognise this guy!

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

@rlahoda @oldenoughtosay First thing popping to my head is The Corner That Held Them by Sylvia Townsend Warner, though it is a set in a nunnery rather than a cathedral

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

@i_am_mill_i_am I’m ok with it.

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

@corinaromonti Love that mad little book, and that’s a gorgeous edition too!

[Alison Sakai @AlisonSakai]

Books I finished in April, May and June 2024.

@8bitnortherner True Faith is the first that jumped into my head.

A solid year for vegetables at the Lambeth Country Show, multiple representations of Dune, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. Low political content, but there was Rishi up shit creek and Farage with milkshake.
