2 years, 3000 cups of coffee, more endless nights and grimaces and delights and breakthroughs and heartaches and sweet sweet dopamine than I can (literally) remember, and here we are...UK Publication Day!
Thank you all, and happy reading!

HARDBACK HAS LANDED!
It's been almost 4 years exactly since I first put pen to paper, scribbling down ideas for the book that would eventually become Ingrained. With U.K publication now just weeks away, it was incredibly exciting to receive this in the mail today!
❓ Why are we so fascinated by gemstones?
💎 Gemmologist Helen Molesworth tells @itsanitarani about her new book, Precious, which explores the history, geology, and symbolism of gems through some of their most famous owners.

These absolutely GORGEOUS glittery hardback proofs of #England have just landed, plus a Cheltenham Festival invite! A major natural history of England in 12 habitats. A magnum opus from Britain’s finest nature writer @JLewisStempel. Coming from @DoubledayUK in October 🦌🍃🍂
Making the most of a flaw in the timber; embracing and working with it, rather than cutting it out. A typically playful, almost hidden (and undoubtedly off the cuff) detail from a bespoke oak cabinet I worked on with my father many years ago.

🔥 HOT new proofs fresh from the oven for 2024's deliciously dark, unforgettable debut PIGLET🔥
Publishing pals, I've got a small stack of these with your name on - if you like your delicious descriptions of roast chicken with a side of astute class observations let me know! 🍽️

‘Deftly harnessing the trade winds of history and geography, guiding us through eddies and currents of anecdote … Most of all, we leave with an appreciation of just how underappreciated the oceans are, and their role in our existence.’ https://t.co/neC4GUJWeu
