@imo_char @lemnsissay @AndyBurnhamGM There’s some terrible replies to this, @imo_char, aren’t some people just lovely… it’s a great story and more power to you for daring to put your head above the parapet for something that means something to you, and for what you believe in

I was lucky enough to get this early as a subscriber to the @CharcoPress bundle and it is *fabulous*. An unflinching and darkly humorous account of a savage environment

@beyondzeropod @WednesdayErskin Looking forward to listening to this one. Wendy is always a brilliant and engaging interviewee, and The Benefactors is going to the top of the TBR pile. No spoilers please!

[Mark Bridgman @markb79]

@HarrySword @HiveMarc Loved this. Thanks for the recommendation!

[Mark Bridgman @markb79]

@HarrySword Have you read The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers Guild by Mathias Énard (Trans. Frank Wynne)? I have an inkling you would *love* the banquet section especially

I ordered my copy of The Night-Soil Men last night and could have bought much more from a great catalog, were it not for financial prudence and a to-read pile that’s more of a to-read fort ATM

[Mark Bridgman @markb79]

I wondered why they had so many signed @BenMyers1 books @LitRiponBkshop today. I should have guessed. Anyway, I’m dead chuffed as I got Pig Iron and These Darkening Days which I *never* see in indie bookshops

[Mark Bridgman @markb79]

I’m currently reading the rather wonderful #MurderBeforeEvensong by @RevRichardColes and this feels very apt

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

Before Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, BBC sound technicians measured the loudness of Westminster Abbey’s toilets to ensure flushing sounds wouldn’t be heard during the ceremony.

@therimaahmed I went to a child’s birthday party at a soft play place in Seacroft, where they played the whole of Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power album once. Halcyon days

[Mark Bridgman @markb79]

@WednesdayErskin @SceptreBooks This is tremendous news. I am really looking forward to reading this, @WednesdayErskin

The moles in our local churchyard are so well established they’re adding their own signage. Although I can’t tell if they’re pro dog ownership or not #moles #crayke #hambletonhills #dogs

@BeakBristol @GreenManFest Love that. Luke’s work is ace. If there’s any left will you put them up for sale online anywhere? Not going to GM, sadly

@goonshowpod I think he’s on the white staircase leading up to what is, presumably, the panda’s castle

[Mark Bridgman @markb79]

@adellestripe @emmapoppie @stevemarking @WhiteRabbitBks I am really looking forward to reading this. And what a cover. Amazing!
