One of the highlights of a recent photoshoot in #Frome

Just hit 35000 on my WIP....someone please clap and tell me I'm a good little writer

'Life is too short to read a bad book' Happy birthday to James Joyce who was born #onthisday in 1882.

‘I don’t like to dine and hate crowds. I only like empty theaters, all-night diners, sex, and conversations. Most men don’t converse. That is why they have to keep doing things, I guess, like eating or jogging' Elaine Kraf's feminist cult classic, The Princess of 72nd Street is out now. penguin.co.uk/books/463546/t…

Borges and his cat #InternationalCatDay

'Yukio Mishima wrote in a frenzy, as if his demons arrived with stories that he was compelled to tell in order to placate them' John Nathan, a translator Voices of the Fallen Heroes Mishima was born #onthisday in 1925. We mark his birth centenary with the publication of Voices of the Fallen Heroes. penguin.co.uk/books/463882/v…

@Dostoevskyquot Definitely the best starting point when recommending Dostoevsky. I'm more of a Crime and Punishment fan, but found White Nights far easier to chew (and in many aspects more enjoyable)

An unforgettable experience 💫

Don’t know what I did to deserve a friend who reads my book in ONE day & leaves comments like these 👀🥹😭 @TheNicole_C #WritingCommunity

Sally Rooney’s ‘Intermezzo’ marks a fictional turn toward a private comfort zone peoplesworld.org/article/sally-…

Tolstoy on Dostoevsky’s death.

Friend of mines dog - silliest boi contender?

Just finished #Intermezzo by Salley Rooney. She really is the millennial Salinger! There was also a decent bit of Turgenev to it, if you ask me.

Before Ben goes, I hope he gives us the low notes on Nothing Like A Dame #Countdown
