#emilyswalkingbookclub graces the screen, on BBC’s inside culture with @ShahidhaBari. Beyond thrilled to open this beautiful episode, which thoughtfully explores the ways we read.

‘To reread the book was to revisit the thoughts I used to have. Rereading is a powerfully personal means of time travel, and reconnecting with a past self can provoke all sorts of feelings.’ @EmilyBooksBlog explores the pleasures of rereading and just what it is that compels us to return to favourite books again and again. faber.co.uk/journal/essay-…

‘People think of a book as a solitary thing, but there’s another side to them that makes them amazing connectors and community builders’ – writer and founder of the Bookbanks charity, Emily Rhodes (@EmilyBooksBlog) positive.news/society/nobody…

This new charity has joined forces with Britain’s food banks, serving up books to browse, borrow or keep positive.news/society/nobody…

@AmandaPCraig No way!! We should meet for a punch up instead of dog walk next time.

The ladies who punch spectator.co.uk/article/the-la… Brilliant @EmilyBooksBlog - I used to do this too.

'It’s just… well, how can I explain that inside my head – and inside the head of so many other mothers and primary carers – is a terrible noise, made up of tiny things. When I’m fighting, this senseless, maddening noise turns into a single reverberating note.' ✍️ Emily Rhodes

We are so pleased that Emily Rhodes @EmilyBooksBlog, #writer, journalist and founder of @bookbanksuk, has chosen The Past is Myself amongst three other wonderful #books for the autumn programme of her Walking Book Club. emilyswalkingbookclub.substack.com foxedquarterly.com/christabel-bie…

@MirandaFrance1 @TreeHouseBkshop Oh wonderful! Hello again! Looking forward to seeing you in a different city!

@EmilyBooksBlog @TreeHouseBkshop I know from experience (in Bath) that it does! Greatly looking forward to it.

This is one of my very favourite books. When I went to a @PersephoneBooks bookclub where a couple of people disparaged it, I wanted to throw my madeira cake at them. (That may have been the moment I realised book clubs are not for me)

@TreeHouseBkshop @MirandaFrance1 Ah it’s so lovely having you on our zooms

@MirandaFrance1 @TreeHouseBkshop Looking forward to meeting you. Hope our walking book club cuts the mustard!!

@TreeHouseBkshop It’s a lovely idea, and actually I’m going to one this Friday! @EmilyBooksBlog

Really honoured to be invited to the bookbank at St Jude and St Paul’s church in Islington, and meet guests and volunteers. I’m looking forward to working with them to raise awareness (and money) to expand this excellent community service. Anyone in the books field, please @ me

I love this: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@TreeHouseBkshop So glad you loved it!

Tomorrow @CathChidgey and I will be fluttering around London bookshops before landing at @LandRBookshop for evening bookish chat (and drinks) with @EmilyBooksBlog. Come and join us!

So excited about this!

So excited for this!

@TreeHouseBkshop SO glad to hear this. Isn't it amazing??!

@TreeHouseBkshop I only just saw your actual link and heard the sad news that she passed away. So glad we all just read her incredible book! What an amazing writer she was.
