@HopeFaithnBooks This book is (in my opinion) absolutely brilliant, but frequently had me sobbing.

@WomensPrize @PenguinUKBooks @MantleBooks @headlinepg @GrantaBooks @4thEstateBooks @johnmurrays @readingagency It’s ‘A thousand ships’ for me. I’m really enjoying the female retelling a of greek myths, and won’t be tired of them until there’s as many as there are focussed on men.

So this was the conversation with ⁦@ASOS_HeretoHelp⁩ on Saturday. Have I heard from them with the refund? Of course not.
It’s so frustrating, especially as I thought I was finally getting somewhere.

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

So my parcel has finally arrived. @ASOS_HeretoHelp despite offers to help have not responded to my private message and are oddly quiet about refunding the money I paid for next day delivery.

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

So it looks like I’m going to the ball without a skirt. Ordered this from @asos and paid for next day delivery. @Hermesparcels failed to deliver. @ASOS_HeretoHelp tell me the courier has a window of a week in which to fix delays. In what way’s that next day? #writingcommunity

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

The thing is I don’t want a refund (apart from for the next day delivery). I just want the skirt to arrive and naively thought @ASOS would be upset to hear @Hermesparcels are letting them down.

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

@scarygran Definitely!!

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

Wow love this!

@scarygran Except when you slid over in the mud during a visit to the otter Sanctury. #happychildhoodmemories

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

Spent the weekend at @gladlib. Felt very sad to come home. If only it was possible to bottle the smell of old books and wood. It was a really lovely couple of days.

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

Earlier, someone told me a £20 book token was too much, because you can only buy so many books. Erm...

[Wordery @wordery]

We can't disagree with a pie chart 😂

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

@wordery When someone picks up your book, flicks through the pages and loses your place. Arghhhh

@MAHenry20 @EllipsisZine Thank you! That’s really kind.

I remember asking #JudithKerr Kerr if the tiger symbolised the 1960s sexual revolution where normal mores and suburban life became upended by this wild and exotic creature. She told me no, it was about a tiger coming to tea.

[Marvellous Readers @marvellousread]

I’m really excited to have my story ‘The Bible Didn’t Name Her’ in Ellipsis Zine.
