@JanetEmson So true. Come the revolution (my particular brand of niche revolution, that is), hardbacks are out. Vive le paperback! Better for the pocket, the planet, the handbag, and reading in bed without risk of concussion.

@estella_rua 1824 was such a good year though. My favourite. Don’t write anymore.

Just a reminder - because I hate to see people saying they think there’s something wrong with them for not enjoying a book that a lot of other people have loved - not every book is for everyone.

Just read what YOU love! ❤️
