So what the hell does 'nut-free, healthy party food' mean and how do I get some by tomorrow school drop-off? Any why are they only telling me now? grrr!

@guardian This headline, argh. So seems like the working fathers don’t lack childcare. Could you reconsider it? This kind of thing sets in stone women as default childcarers

@DCoonan3 What lovely jobs they will all be equipped for, though, once they time travel back to 1950

20-minute treat while dinner cooks & kids amusing themselves. Meg Mason's 'Sorrow and Bliss' is a tad Ephron's 'Heartburn', a smattering of Baker's 'Cassandra at the Wedding', with a soupcon of 'Fleabag'. Needless to say, I'm loving it!

@jjaron I do see your point on the broader pool for recommendations. But I think the bookshop thing is about more than looking fancy

@SadieBooks But the choice isn't bookseller or algorithm! You can get recommendations from friends, family, critics...

Why is it only bookshops that people wax lyrical about in this way? No one goes on about the experience of popping into HMV (or whatever equivalent still exists) and buying a DVD vs streaming on Netflix

@jjaron If booksellers actively investing in new voices don’t exist, publishers won’t publish those kind of books in the first place.

@jjaron That algorithm is never going to offer you a debut from a totally unknown but dazzling new voice, for example. A dedicated bookseller (or which there are many) will, driven by a wish to broaden the reach of a new talent, show that book to you

@jjaron With a decent independent (for me anyway) it’s about curation. I can see and look through books hand-picked by booksellers passionate about reading. It’s - well - better than an algorithm.

@HollyMAuthor There’s a little pause between, so right hand asks the question and left hand answers, if you see what I mean? It actually was a surprisingly good way to hear their voices

My characters went quiet, and a wise woman suggested I ask them questions - writing with my right hand, and letting them reply with my left hand. So you know, it works, and also it is Absolutely F***ing Terrifying

@HollyMAuthor Haha. No, I waited politely for her to formulate her response and scare the crap out of me

@Sarahlou_writes I’d love to read this! Have kids but I’m just as interested (probably more so, tbh) in reading about women who don’t

Absolutely delighted to say that I am now represented by @ktgreenst @CWAgencyUK . Katie totally *got* my book, and I am so very excited to work on it with her. I can't wait for us to introduce The Death & Life of Lucy Westenra to the world.
