What's your view on hardback fiction? Do you prefer a #paperback and, if so, why?

This BBC article suggests that the popularity of hardbacks is waning. What's your opinion?

What do you think about this?

So sad to hear that one of our best British #spy #writers, Len Deighton, passed away. RIP a great #thriller writer.

My lessons at school had 31 pupils. This one had 7,000 in a world record breaking attempt for World Book Day.

What events were you involved in for World Book Day?

There has to be a plot for a #thriller in here somewhere. Yesterday, a separatist leader in Corsica was shot by a #sniper as he left his mother's funeral.

How would you build that into a thriller plot?
