Having just finished @EwanGault The Sound of Sirens I can safely add it to the list of Scottish books that really impressed me. Captivating from the first page. Great characters and well written. An absolutely brilliant story.

@leamingtonbooks Just bought myself a copy of this! (I’ve been meaning to for years.) I’m on a good run of semi-forgotten Scottish novels from the 1950s-70s.
@JohnGerardFagan I’ll add myself to the list of people recommending The Voids. Everything Jenni Fagan has written is worth a read. This is Memorial Device is one of the best Scottish novels of the last decade in my opinion. @johntinney888 ‘s Bootleg Karma is also excellent.

@JohnGerardFagan Cheers @JohnGerardFagan ! I’ve had Fish Town on my tbr pile for a while now. I lived in Iwate for a year, so I’m looking forward to getting into it. Most of the best books I’ve read in recent years have been by fellow Scottish writers. Always good to support your local team!
@razurcutsmag releases Bootleg Karma on Sep 6th. It’s a dark comedy about a once Oscar-nominated actor who fakes his death, joins Twitter and decides to kill time by getting revenge on those who wronged him. Thanks to @ricky_ballboy, @CallumMcSorley and @EwanGault for endorsing.
Massive congratulations to our talented students Joshua and Joseph for making it to the top 10 @songacademyuk Young Songwriter competition! 🏆🎶 As a reward, they've been gifted tickets to the Travis Scott concert at @SpursStadium tomorrow! Enjoy the show, guys! 🎤 #TravisScott
Delighted to announce that Razur Cuts Books will be unleashing 'Bootleg Karma' by @johntinney888 in late summer, a hugely entertaining novel described by @CallumMcSorley as "Savage, grotesque, tragic . . . and very funny." Welcome to the RC Books fraternity, John! 📚xRCx📚#gem
@KeeperOfPybus Cheers Wayne, always requires a bit of luck to get anywhere in these big competitions, but I’ll take it! Also give some an excuse to visit Cork for the ceremony. Hope you’re well!
