So sad to hear of the death of @thewilbursmith the weekend. Working with him over the last 6 years, and getting to live in the extraordinary worlds he created, was a dream come true. He was such a generous collaborator, a born storyteller and a brilliant writer.

Nice to see Andrew Strauss getting a knighthood. My favourite ever cricketer. Never mentioned in the same breath as @MichaelVaughan or Brearley, but won the Ashes home and away and captained England to No.1 in the world. So underrated - and still not replaced as opener.

[Andy Wormald @amwbooks]

Delighted to buy this today, can’t wait to read, The Courtney’s are one of my all time favourite series @thewilbursmith @tomharperauthor @ZaffreBooks

I’ve cooked a lot of pizzas - but never actually made my own sausage to go on top. Until now. @jeniussocial
