@RuthBoreham so many people whose opinions I value are recommending this at the moment - I must go get myself a copy!

Been in hospital for 24 hrs & likely to be for another night. I’ve read 1.5 books so silver lining! This one is so so good!! Can’t recommend it enough. Really well written, brilliant story, but also makes you think about the care system. ❤️ Margaret McDonald #GlasgowBoys

📚 Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books & reading that takes place across Scotland. With the theme 'Hope' for 2024, you'll find copies of this years book available today in Glasgow, tomorrow in Edinburgh and Wednesday in Aberdeen. @BookWeekScot | @scottishbktrust

@randallwrites @PeterAlanRoss That’s a great idea for the next book!

@PeterAlanRoss Sounds like a job for the talented Peter Ross.

This article in praise of Dundee's west end mentions Blackness Library "whose librarians are among the most charismatic in the country". That sounds like a story in itself. Who are these splendid people? thetimes.co.uk/article/west-e…

how could you not LOVE this?

are you an adventurous reader - or perhaps more comfortable with familiar favourites? Either way, this is the quiz for you!

Happy Book week Scotland everybody - why not start the day right be treating yourself to this wee gem - all you have to do is sign up!

I can confirm that this is a brilliant and exclusive short story - a perfect introduction to Ambrose Parry if you are new to Raven and Fisher or, if you have devoured all the books, an unmissable addition!

High schools - are you fire fighting every day on the issues of misogyny & equality? We've heard from many who are. This #BBCAuthorsLive w/ Alan Bissett on his new book for 13yrs+ Lads: A Guide to Respect & Consent was OUTSTANDING. Released on 13 Nov: scottishbooktrust.com/learning-and-r…
