@em_nightreader I have just finished Who is Maud Dixon?, a Highsmithian debut by Alexandra Andrews. Loved it. The writing is snappy and the story rolls forward

My timeline is sadly lacking in Bookish content this morning Please tell me what you are all reading 📚 I'm just finishing this wonderful book HELLO BEAUTIFUL by Ann Napolitano #BookTwitter 📚♥️

‘How do you read so much?’ Easy. I ignore all my responsibilities.

Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent had me on edge. I could hardly stop for a water break. Dark to the max with bursts of levity. This is how you tell a story. Full action, dialogue and naval gazing at a minimum #amreading

A hopeful, and lovely, take on the devastating LA fires

@cakesthebrain It’s so good and hilarious. Enjoy!

@Iris9 Not read that one! I will now.

@cakesthebrain @JohannaTC I agree. Pym is hilarious and smart and often overlooked. The Sweet Dove Died is a small masterpiece, to my mind.

@JohannaTC Alexander Baron - The Lowlife. Rosemary Tonks - The Bloater. Russell Hoban - Turtle Diary. And I don’t feel like Barbara Pym gets enough credit!

When does the mud wrestling begin? #PresidentialDebate

It’s a crime (see what I did there) that I’ve never read @linwood_barclay before. #TheLieMaker was great. I actually cared about the main character; too often thrillers lack in that department. Looking forward to the next one

In 2012, I sat down with #PaulAuster, one of my favourite authors. He was warm and friendly and hilarious. “Salll-man!” he yelled after hearing his pal Rushdie was in the next room; what a day. RT The mechanics of Paul Auster's reality nationalpost.com/afterword/the-… via @nationalpost

@amanda0852 @AnnGarvin_ It blew me away. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t read it before.

I am 62 years old, single, and recently, after watching “Love Actually” for the 17th time — toxic though it may be — I downloaded a dating app and started the arduous process of vetting men so that I, too, might actually find love. Again. (a thread)

@sternbergh Also Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. It’s perfection.

@sternbergh Tessa Hadley’s Free Love, which is set in 1960s London. Such a great read by a masterful writer

@aleah_balas @nationalpost Just sent my friend Danica a note; she will email you. She’s behind Bathing Belle Swimwear. She does handmade swimsuits

📣 Looking for: the best swimsuits that are available in Canada, or ship to Canada for a story in @nationalpost. Email in bio. (taking personal recommendations as well as pitches) 👀

@irisgoldsztajn I didn’t know this either! (Hello Iris from another Iris.)

Sorry if this is obvious to all of you, but for journalists hello! Slack auto-transcribes audio files so if you just send them to yourself in chat you don't need to transcribe from scratch! Hope this helps xo

@morphiaz @FaudaOfficial @SHO_Homeland The Knick with Clive Owen is a 2014 drama — oldish but so damn good. It’s about a heroine-addicted doctor in 1900s NYC. Just incredible. (Google ratings.)
