❤️ 📕 Madam Readalot 💙📚

@BexBookaholic It’s horrible. My best friend from age 10 ghosted me some years ago now. We’d weathered all sorts together & I think further big changes in her life resulted in me being viewed as damage by association & I was dropped. It devastated me & I still look for her everywhere xxx

and how much my life had been narrowed by the relationship. I am stronger for it for sure, but the memory is painful despite the learning. If anyone is going through similar, stay strong. Life is good on the other side ♥️ (2/2)

10 yrs ago today my best friend told me she no longer had any time for me and dumped me. We used to message all day every day, she knew things about me other people had never known, and I was beyond broken. With time I have realised just how abusive that friendship was (1/2)

@ByYourBedside I hear you . I’ve tried and tried, just don’t get the love…. So many characters, too many to keep track of, and not one that I care about.

I have read 3 Elizabeth Strout books and haven't enjoyed any of them, but I keep seeing all this love for her new one and I'm wondering if I should give her another chance, just in case *this* is the one that does it for me.

@portraitinflesh Is this the work that we’re continually told they do????

I'm sorry, but this is simply lovely, and I've no time for those who'll inevitably sneer at it as "Paddingtonism", or whatever. Like it or not, this is the version of Britain most British people identify with. Good on his M the K for participating, too.

@TheBookshopMan The best sort of problem. Xxxxxx

A successful trip to the bookshop. Now I just need to find space...

I spent last week recording new songs with an incredible band of friends. There are many miles to go but I'm excited for it already and can't wait to share this with you all. I penned some thoughts on the session, which you can read for free on my patreon patreon.com/c/MGBoulter

🧵1/2: I’d had a few drinks in Florida and get seated next to an old guy at the poker table who’s got his phone in front of him with a screen saver of Ozzy Osbourne “Big Sabbath fan?” Stone silence I assume he’s just some grumpy old rocker

@lilbernadette @luxemiaa If that were the case, and it happened to me, I’d accept it and not put someone in an awkward position by asking them to swap seats 🤷‍♀️

Your request is fair. But everyone saying they should have planned better keep in mind they may have had their flight reassigned due to delays or the chaos at the airlines or it may have been a last minute booking for a funeral or medical reason. You never really know what is going on and things like seat assignments are not always in a family’s control.

I'm giving away about-face's Light Lock Lip Gloss in shade 'prelude'. To enter, follow @davelackie & RT #win (ends 04/24)

@kylefarnworth Definitely

Anyone interested in a free copy of MEDUSA in exchange for an honest review? A group of intellectuals form their own society by taking over a small town in northern Maine, but their utopian vision has lasting consequences on themselves and their children.

@NoContextBrits Gaviscon.

What’s missing from this breakfast?

@BexBookaholic Found mine near my knees. Always in the last place you look 🤣

Do you ever look at old pictures of yourself and think... where DID my boobs go??

@KMFollett Like everyone else of my generation started with Janet&John. That was itEnid Blyton next, Richmal Crompton, back of the cereal packet in the mornings. I just couldn’t get enough. I regularly checked out the max number of books allowed and spent hours reading in the library,too.

I learnt to read when I was four and never stopped. One of my favourite childhood books was Noddy Goes to Toyland. When I was 12 I discovered James Bond. What about you? What book made you start reading?

@JoolzDenby I’ve long aspired to be a Crone, and I’ve finally found my people! X

Periodically I get people of both sexes having conniptions about my long hair, piercings, tattoos and weight lifting ‘at my age’ (born 1955, 71 this month). Men like to tell me ‘no man would want to rape me’ as if it’s ok to say that. Comrade Crones! Rejoice!

@danny_robins Fantastic, can’t wait for this!

HUGE NEWS, #UncannyCommunity! THE WITCH FARM IS COMING TO TV… I can now officially share that I have written my very first TV drama series - The Witch Farm! It’s a 4 part drama series inspired by the real-life haunting in Wales that I investigated in the podcast… It will be coming to @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer. 😊 Filming starts soon with an amazing cast, including Gabrielle Creevy and Michael Socha. I am pretty blown away that we are getting to do this and I can’t wait to spook you all out! 👻👻👻 Let me know if you think this sounds exciting… 😱 @BBCCymruWales

@SleneyDave I know you freely admit to not having matured past 15, but come on.

…..and still make your fingers stink like …. *answers on a postcard please* 😬😬

Still a classic combo after all these years

@nat_avidreader I have 2 bin bags full of winter jumpers & thick hoodies that I’ve worn but not washed yet cos I’m waiting for When I Can Dry Stuff Outside. I buy more jumpers every year with this in mind. Gawd knows where I’ll put them all when they’re finally washed & dried!!!

#Booktwitter have any of you packed away your winter jumpers yet? Just asking if its too early to start. I don't want to trigger a turn in the weather like last year! 🤣🤣 #Springtime #Wardrobesortout

@LizRead168 @benonwine I did the same &was told the same. Not cheap if firms are constantly needing to send out reply stuff by other contractors. I wish a decent competitor would show themselves.

@benonwine I am surprised so many suppliers use them. I challenged one who said they used them because they were cheap. Yes cheap and useless.

Evri Driver at his finest! 😡🤦‍♂️ Thank God they have clear proof …. Excellent footage…. Hope you they get quick compensation ‼️

@benonwine They definitely are. I haven’t had anything delivered by them in 4 months. When I query, things have been returned as ‘Damaged’. I’m now dissing them to every retailer who tries to deliver stuff to me via them. It must be costing retailers a fortune.

Are Evri the Worst Delivery Service firm in the UK? Please Repost and Comment
