@MargaretAtwood Thank you xx

[Lisa Allardice @LisaAllardice]

Stop what you are doing and listen to this. Margaret Atwood reads Alice Munro's early short story Dance of the Happy Shades. Two titans! With thanks, as always, to @MargaretAtwood

Oh my goodness, this is a beautiful novel. Tiny but devastating! #Bookerprize

Brilliant piece by ⁦@zoesqwilliams⁩ https://t.co/gCH9VUlCeZ

@estherarmah @ChimamandaReal Oh dear, I certainly didn't mean it in that way. I think this is slightly out of context - I think I was referring to the Reith Lectures. It is always tricky in the moment. I hope it was also clear that I think @ChimamandaReal is brilliant and you enjoyed the event.

This whole Little House on the Prairie thing really needs to stop now. Please.

[Lissa Evans @LissaKEvans]

The episode of Little House on the Prairie where Ma transformed Laura’s school dress into a ball-gown by cutting up some tea-towels and everyone at the dance laughed at her. (Anthropologie, £300)

I can’t tell you how much I wanted Demon Copperhead to win - and not just for the rare chance to talk to the brilliant Barbara Kingsolver in person! https://t.co/KaBFTcTjPt

@HarrietEvans I really like your yellow Birkenstocks!

This has MADE my day! A new start after 60: I was devastated by divorce at 70. But at 102, I know the secrets of a well-lived life https://t.co/gvqhLQA5vq

And of course @bankstirregular ! Thank you all for sparing me so much time. As Glenn Close puts it in Fatal Attraction - via @glosswitch Hags - Women ( over 40)Will Not Be Ignored!

[Lisa Allardice @LisaAllardice]
