@elizabethfazal Yes read it, it is strange but wonderful

#BookTwitter I’ve been umming and ahhing over whether to read Butter… It gets SO many great reviews (and it’s now Book of the Year!) but I’m not sure if I’d enjoy it as it seems so different to anything I’ve read before. What did everyone think? Should I pick up a copy? 🧈 🐄

@erandalljones Can you get a mini dictionary/thesaurus these days? Or too old school??

BUTTER by Asako Yuzuki, translated by Polly Barton, is the the 2024 @Waterstones Book of the Year! 🐄🧈🎉 Huge congratulations to Asako, and a massive THANK YOU to every single bookseller and reader who has supported this sensational novel. We are so proud! 💛✨ #BookoftheYear

@Joseph_Fasano_ I don’t know you but I see how much joy and hope you give to others on this broken platform in this broken world. You are a voice of love shing through the darkness I hope you know how much you bring and can feel the love that is coming back your way. Keep shining.

Friends, I'm in a dark place mentally. If anything I've written has helped you, or moved you, or done any good, I'd be grateful if you could tell me. I think I need to feel some reasons to keep sharing my heart.

@LauraPAuthor Hope you have a better day today - take care.

One day I might be able to talk about the horrendousness of the day I’ve just had. Not today though.

A post I saw earlier has made me think long and hard about which novel I'd most like to see adapted into a muppet movie. What would be your choice?

A meticulous, intense and inward-looking book that is very absorbing to read as you follow the unnamed narrator through an excruciatingly painful medical episode and home: netgalley.co.uk/book/435721/re… #NetGalley #SmallRain

Brutal, brittle and searing exploration of a lifelong struggle with food, identity and femininity, Moss delivers a terrifying vision of how she has lived her own life. Without pity, explanation or excuses - netgalley.co.uk/book/365872/re… #NetGalley #MyGoodBrightWolf

Just outstanding. Totally absorbing, full of power and depth of every human emotion, Playground is to the sea as Overstory was to the land, another masterful novel from Powers. Read it. And then read it again. netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book/3… #Playground #NetGalley
