I've jumped to Bluesky as Elon's Twitter is too horrible. Find me talking dogs, books, writing & biscuits there at @bobjohnstonbooks !

I'm now mainly on Threads, Instagram and Facebook as I find the Twitter feeds too horrible to look at. Find me in those places at @bobjohnstonbooks . I'll be checking Twitter once a week to resolve some outstanding issues and then (hopefully) closing this account.

@Support We're desperately trying to regain access to @gutterbookshop account which was hacked and the email & reset info changed. I have submitted several request forms via Help Center but no luck. This is an important account for our business. Please help!

@DublinInquirer Worth a look?

Unexpected find on the way into work - Signed Gatefold Vinyl of @OCSmusic - presumably from @3olympiatheatre gig last night (Sat 9th) - either robbed or forgotten in a drunken haze I'm guessing..! Drop me a line if you know who owns it?! RT appreciated! #Dublin @gutterbookshop

Son just got punched in the face walking home at half ten at night on Dame street … by a lad .. an Irish lad . Looking for his money .Eh why is this still going on ? Thought we were given enough indications that we need Garda on the street in the city .

@sophiegrenham Tried wearing my tailored houndstooth coat to the Book Awards last week. My post lockdown middle-aged tummy spread said "no chance"... Problem with fitted clothing is that they don't always fit... ;) Bx

@TheCallYA Lovely to see you both at the weekend & thank you for the lift home! Not twittering much lately but I just saw this and thought of you... Bx https://t.co/mIgfitAJvP

@CarolineHeffo @colmheffo I did, and yes, so would I! Bx

Irish pals - sadly my friend Emma has had to pull out so I still have a spare ticket for this gig. I'll do a re-sell tomorrow if no-one fancies it but.. anyone fancy joining me for Natalie Merchant at Olympia on Thurs (9th Nov) evening? Fully seated & they're good seats!... Bx

Doing a bit of voluntary work for my old @gutterbookshop at @DublinBookFest & my favourite quote so far is someone describing @WinterPapers as "The Beano for Grown-ups"... #DBF2023 #DublinBookFest @StarostaMarta

@phlaimeaux Daring, dreamy & definitely worth the wait was how I used to feel about the Nitelink Ticket Booth on Westmoreland Street.

@susanl_author Hi Susan, I was also sad Wild Geese didn't make Newcomers shortlist (& I didn't know Soula was trans!) It was on the longlist. To be clear, there are no 'adjudicating readers' for this award. See here for how shortlists & winners are chosen: https://t.co/ociz6GgZAc Bx
