"Close to Home is a novel which shines with intelligence and humanity on every page", Hamish Hamilton takes two titles from debut novelist @micknolan90, starting with "a "gripping auto-fictional exploration of masculinity, class and trauma": https://t.co/R64rg9Xep4

@JanCarson7280 My very Scottish mum ordering an 'Errol Grey'. Gets me every time.

@JanCarson7280 Had a 'Rapture Party' in 2011 in response to Harold Camping's prediction that it was the end times. Needless to say, we survived but we did feel like death the next morning...

@DoireannNiG @rickoshea I did a creative writing BA straight out of school, and then promptly stopped writing for years. Just started working on a novel at nearly 29 and it's the perfect time.

@bwilson4815 There were definitely things about Wise Man's Fear that should have... just not happened. But I would love to read his attempts to wrap everything up in one novel.

Shout out to Leo Varadkar's speech writer for quoting Mean Girls

@twoshadesofhope I'm so sorry that you have to go through that. Virtual hugs!

@JanCarson7280 The Chase 5pm ITV. I believe it depends on the time of year whether it's showing? https://t.co/I5nrWmdkx1

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

@JanCarson7280 There's this.

@JanCarson7280 @BooksUpstairs Well that solves the issue of which one to read first then.

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

Thanks again to @BooksUpstairs for the reccomendations and speedy delivery! Great to get a personal service when you can't visit the shop to browse

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

@JCPattz Actually incredible.

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

@BarAshtons @mcdigby Understandable. Restaurants just can't re-open if they will be operating at a loss. Whenever you can, we will be the fist in the socially distanced queue!

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

@TheBigReindeer Depends on how much ennui I'm feeling...

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

@mcdigby Within current guidelines, then yes I absolutely would. It'll just be myself and my husband going to our local amazing gastropub @BarAshtons if it opens. Can't wait for a nice meal out!

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

'handiwork' by Sarah Baume is one of the best little books I've read in a while.

[Lesley Tohill @SwansofWinter]

@everytreecat Hubby is in the same boat. Such a scam.
