Here for peace, love, and Strike and Ellacott. Opinionated, random and rad fem convictions tweeted elsewhere.

@kasstl1 @PoolsVB Nice! I’d love to know what Austen would have made of Wuthering Heights or Vilette 😂

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@kasstl1 @PoolsVB I do associate Persuasion more with the Long Eighteenth Century than with 19th C Romanticism though. You don’t want to do a Brontë? *teaches grandmother to suck eggs*

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@kasstl1 @PoolsVB I’m not the person to recommend Victorian poetry, but you need to set A.S. Byatt’s Possession as supplementary reading for extra credit…

@DreyfusJames @Waterstones And yet when I went in on publication day to buy the last @jk_rowling Strike and Ellacott book, they sneered at me and told me they hadn’t got around to unpacking it yet. Funny that.

The last day of #StrikeTour25 is here and we are doing a classic, Margot’s Route! And next year we will have all the new #TheHallmarkedMan locations to visit!

@9Discordia9 @kasstl1 @jembloomfield I can only read her books with big gaps in between because each is such an intense portrait of the unravelling of a personality, and The Wych Elm is possibly the most devastating

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@kasstl1 @9Discordia9 @jembloomfield Either! (Or The Wych Elm - a standalone.) The Searcher is her intriguing stab at the western, but set in the West of Ireland. In the Woods is deeply eerie and without a conventionally neat ending. The Wych Elm is a brilliantly multi-faceted twisty look at privilege and the self

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@kasstl1 @9Discordia9 @jembloomfield French is a phenomenal writer! She nails plot, theme, character, and sense of place in the most lovely prose. One of the most literary writers in the genre

@jk_rowling @9Discordia9 @NABurkinshaw @Freerangescots What does it say about me that even though - like Strike - I am firmly House of Bollocks, I still scrolled quickly down to read Aquarius and Pisces (Feb 19 cusp)? 😂

[LudicrousMoniker @LudicrousMonica]

‘Strike made the short journey on the Central line, exiting the Tube at Holborn and heading for Lincoln’s Inn. He then took up a position behind a tree in the gardens from which he could watch the neo-classical façade of Lavington Court Chambers, and waited.’ #StrikeTour24

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@jk_rowling We have drunk all this (and more) in the Duke of York and we *still* can’t agree on what might happen (or even what we want to happen) in #thehallmarkedman… Give us a crumb, please! #StrikeTour24

[LudicrousMoniker @LudicrousMonica]

Robin was right - definitely the best pasta in London! Thanks for a lovely dinner at Il Portico @JamesChiavarini and team! A great start to #StrikeTour24 🙌🙌

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@kasstl1 Mission: Impossible, right?

🦢Coming to St Michael's Mount today. 🦢

Please tweet a pic if you find me. Leave me there, take me home or move me to a new location (don't hide me up the cliffs or at a roadside tho - safety first!) #StrikeSwans #CormoranStrike #StMichaelsMount #TheSilkworm #RobertGalbraith

@jk_rowling @RickValens1 And storytelling. There’s a lot of telling stories

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@jk_rowling @RickValens1 I tell people to read Watership Down. ‘Rabbits?’ they say, unpersuaded.

Well, yes, rabbits, but it’s actually about tyranny and leadership and courage and community and love and sacrifice.

[MissdeVine @VineMissde]

@jk_rowling @lumos @ilporticolondon Bored of flicking though ‘Calorie-counted recipes to save you time and money’ trying to decide what to cook for dinner, I take a break to scroll through the @ilporticolondon menu.

Oh. My. Word.
