@TheBookshopMan So far I think it has been Our Evenings by Alan Hollinghurst.

WIN a one of the biggest books of the year: The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout. All you need to do is Like, Retweet and tell me your favourite book this year to be in with a chance to win. Open world wide. Winner picked at random on May 20th at 9am. Good Luck!

@DoubleEph Meanwhilee in Bolton saw my first bloke walking down the road with his t shirt off and tucked into the waistband of his trousers.

21 degrees in London. All the finance bros have swapped their padded jackets for gilets. Sleeveless dresses have also been observed. The war is over

Interesting read for those of us obliged to use the unrelentingly grim Euston station. Look at the old station interior and weep !

Am I alone in thinking that this class does also look like really quite hard work??!! How do they stay on those trampolines?

@mancunianmedic Happy 60th! I am 50 today!

This is a public service announcement for anyone who lives near Bath or plans on visiting - this charity shop on Walcot Street has the best basement bookshop ever 😍😍😍 #booktwitter

@a_bookishgirl I refuse on principle to buy or borrow a book with a film poster as its cover. Petty and snobbish, I know.

Am I the only one who groans when book covers turn into movie posters? There have to be more of us, right? I hope! #booktwt

@emreadsthebooks It took me 18 months to read The Luminaries! Though admittedly I did have two very young children at the time. When I was doing literature at uni and had a big book to read (think Anna Karanina length) I had a target of 50 pages a day.

My 2026 BIG reading plans... These big chunksters have sat on my shelves for a while & this year is the year they're finally going to be read! One a month seems doable... right??? Anyone want to join?

@haydenlaurence That episode gave me flashbacks to my metal loving youth in the early 90s. Husband and I were in awe of @frankcottrell_b knowledge, especially of literature.

Watching #UniversityChallenge 8 of the cleverest people imaginable and couldn’t identify Crazy Train or Paradise City. Seems my “education” wasn’t a complete waste

@mancunianmedic My grandparents lived in Northenden amd we used to go for walks by the Mersey. When I was little I found it baffling that a river so synonymous with Liverpool also went through south Manchester!

Help needed finding a book probably from the 70s! About a young girl who has lived with her grandma and has to live with relatives she barely knows. In their house she meets a ghost (?) girl from Edwardian/Victorian times who is mean and manipulative. I am stumped. Help please!

@BeeNetwork what is going on with the #471 from Bolton? It's been a 40 minute wait tonight and then the first bus that arrives is a single decker! This service is consistently dire and it's just not fair on passengers or drivers.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Please know that this is baseless scaremongering from Trump and RFK. There is no good scientific evidence linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism. A 2024 Swedish study of 2.4 million births found no relationship whatsoever between exposure to paracetamol in utero & subsequent autism, ADHD or intellectual disability. Likewise, there is no good evidence linking vaccines (of any kind) to autism. Spreading medical disinformation is a disgusting abuse of political power with dangerous real world consequences.

@LeeBraganza My kids used to be at a school where reception transition tool place for EIGHT weeks of half days. EiGHT!

I'm all up for transitions but my kid doesn't start Reception full time until the 16th!!! Only in next week for a few hours. She's desperate to start.

Now that @ZackPolanski is the leader of a party with the same amount of MPs as Reform UK, but more councillors, he should get as much media coverage. RT if you agree!

@Biggreenbooks Argeles-Sur-Mer, in a holiday park very near the beach, it was great.

@EmmaDent76 Ooh, where was that? Hello btw!

Hello, Soz there's no #buyastrangerabook day today. You see that castle on top of the hill? That's where I am right now. It's in Collioure in the South of France. So yeah, soz. Next one will happen a week tomorrow. See ya!
