Mostly books, cats and retweeting animal videos. And verbal diarrhoea on #Eurovision nights. Probably some swearing. She/her. 💖💜💙

Resurrecting my Twitter account to say what a bloody brilliant show this was tonight. Funny, sad and wonderful. Loved you roping in the audience members too 🤣
Thanks Hannah for a great night.

#Nottingham! We are in you!

Get your gorgeous faces down to @NottmPlayhouse tonight for NAN, ME & BARBARA PRAVI - a critically-acclaimed solo show / anxiety spiral about care, crisis & semi-stalking Eurovision singers.

@hayls74 Haha if I see him I will! He’s around - I’ve seen other folks who’ve bumped into him! Here until Friday so will be at the 2nd semi final too!!

[catrad @catrad]

@hayls74 Mate, I’m here!!!

@SarahPinborough popping back on Twitter to say we just sent up a cheer when you appeared on the big screen at @gollancz Fest! Looking forward to the extended fairy tale universe books coming soon!

@JBBoardman Bloody HELL I had the black and yellow one and had deleted it from my memory for about FORTY YEARS until now.

@JoJakemanWrites I’ve got a bauble-making project on the go this year (and probably next…it’s gonna take a while). Each bauble contains all the books I read that year, little mini cardboard versions of them. Goodreads has been a godsend for this! 2 baubles down, only 8 to go 😭

Huge thanks to @tiafisher_ and @ChildrenInRead - my signed copy of Crossing the Line arrived today, an unbelievably quick turnaround! Really looking forward to reading it.

@Ben_S_Hyland Our tuck shop sold cider lollies in the summer.

@kirstyes Available, but US import only so not cheap 🙄

[catrad @catrad]

@kirstyes Plus side: I’ve found a present for my FIL for Xmas. Assuming it’s actually out in the uk (another bugbear of mine with these awards!)

[catrad @catrad]

@kirstyes I’ve read like 3 of these, and one of those is in the wrong goddamn category! Note to goodreads: just cos it’s got Stephen King’s name on the cover doesn’t mean it’s horror 🙄

[catrad @catrad]

@kirstyes Goddammit why did NOONE tell me my label was hanging out all day?!!

[catrad @catrad]

@David_Fenne @yalc_uk @inkroadbooks I’m a day late, sorry, but your workshop was GREAT! It was interesting & funny and came across really well. It was fab to meet you, and hopefully we will meet again at future YALCs!

[catrad @catrad]

Today is definitely the day to bust out my Lying Cat wallet! #Yalc2023 #yalc23 #yalc @yalc_uk

[catrad @catrad]

Eeeek, looking through the #YALC2023 hashtag it’s like Christmas Eve! Can’t wait to get into Olympia tomorrow and take in all the bookish goodness! @yalc_uk

[catrad @catrad]

@simonjamesgreen @yalc_uk Oh man, wish I’d seen this earlier - I could have brought my copy of Dance on my Grave with me too! But I’ll have a pile of your books with me regardless, including my well-flagged copy of Boy Like Me 😊

[catrad @catrad]

@yalc_uk We are here! Sorting books to bring tomorrow / Sunday and getting prepped. Very excited!!

[catrad @catrad]

@Kitkatscanread @kyrajasper @K__Books @yalc_uk Blythe road entrance apparently. It was in the email sent from
Yalc on 3rd nov 😊

[catrad @catrad]

@yalc_uk Oh I’d love to see a time-lapse of everything being built!

[catrad @catrad]

@hoperoadpublish @yalc_uk @FedericoIvanier @ClaireStorey16 What a cracking cover, so eye-catching! I’ll definitely be taking a closer look at this at yalc this weekend!
