@AvantiWestCoast @Sandyc_07 How would you recommend getting up to Edinburgh then? Is there any allowance on either transpenine from Preston to Edinburgh, or ScotRail from Glasgow?

[Helen @ControlShelf]

@reader_saph Or that they get a percentage of the revenue from the trip

@skylar_books It's just so addictive with all the Easter egg hunting!

@HarperVoyagerUK Is it YA SFF, or SFF and YA? The first would make more sense, but the writing makes it sound like the second.

@llewcid Whilst waiting to pick up my prescription I listened to a pharmacist call and berate a GP receptionist who turned away a woman with an infected C-section scar and told her just to go to the pharmacy. It's a major surgery, if anything she needed A&E.

This is me still using "outwith" in papers even though all my colleagues are based in England. I will die on the hill that the opposite of within is outwith, and the opposite of inside is outside.

[Ian Rankin @Beathhigh]

Prior to the copy edit, my editor had queried ‘jag’, wondering if it should be ‘jab’ (as in injection). ‘That, my friend,’ I told him, ‘is the hill I die on…’ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’ve been feeling a little powerless the last few days watching the tragic events unfold in Ukraine. Tomorrow all of our profits will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee and their partner charities to help people in Ukraine 🇺🇦📚

Bonus: it's a couple of days late but I still have my World Book Day 2003 copy of An Eye for An Eye!

Noughts and Crosses by @malorieblackman got me back into reading when I was 12. It was the first book that made me cry (really weep). Knifes Edge was the first book I rushed out to get on release day. Today I finally finished Endgame.

[Helen @ControlShelf]

I can't express how much this series meant to me over the years. I came back to it after seeing Double Cross in a charity shop a couple of years ago and then saw 2 more books were coming out. I love how the books don't match as I acquired and read them over the years.
