@bookishclaire @marcusbrig @rachelparris Thanks you two! (And Claire for the spot.) There’s always room for one more book…

.@BackstoryLdn just got a mention (and deserved rave review for their excellent customer service) on one of my fave podcasts 💙 (Which is funny because every time they say they live in Balham I think "oh they live near Backstory, wish I did too")

Oklahoma! Our @BackstoryLdn books magazine went on sale in @BNbuzz across USA this week. Wild to see copies have already sold in branches from Tulsa (OK) to San Antonio (TX) & of course New York (NY). Very exciting!

@AndrewBuncombe @wwwmariacorte Lovely! Which bookshop?

Thrilled to spot @wwwmariacorte's amazing design for front of @BackstoryLdn magazine in Edinburgh bookstore

Fabulous debut novel. I bought it after @tomjrowley & @BackstoryLdn raved about it. And as they had recommended my favourite novel of 2023 – Alice Winn’s ‘In Memoriam’ – I thought I’d give it a go. It turns out they have impeccable taste…

@yaba_badoe @HoZ_Books @_ZephyrBooks @_fkennedy @booksaremybag How lovely! Thanks Yaba
