@thatbigdesidude Like YT every SM should have dislike option. Being unpopular isn't notoriety; it means a different kind of fame, as being disliked by one section effectively improves your standing with the opposite set. As Pickwick says there might be two mobs. Of course, he says join loudest 🐲

On social media, being disliked is often just as effective as being disliked. Both draw attention and engagement.

No wonder their head is in the clouds 😄

@agathachristie The covers don't make sense. The Beresfords are rather old in all these books, except the short story collection. Of course, they are young in Secret Adversary. But that book isn't featured here. These covers show a young couple with vibrant backdrops, in a playful tone. Silly.

🇺🇸 fans! The entire Tommy and Tuppence series has undergone a makeover and all five books are now available to buy. Which one is your favourite cover?

Has England got the courage and nous to set Test Match fields for #Rohit and #Kohli in the ODI series is the most interesting aspect of this bilateral. England, of course, has Test match standard pacers in ODI. Under #BrendonMcCullum, I think England will. #EnglandvsIndia

@StevenGarner12 Sad Cypress is one novel that gets better with each reading. I didn't like it a lot at first, but after three reads love the slow burn.

@thinkingwest King Solomon's Mines by Rider Haggard, The Outsider by Albert Camus, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Haggard to learn how to die, Albom to how to live, and Camus to figure out why exist.

Images from our session on The Swinging 70s at Kolkata Literary Meet 2025 on 25th July. Thanks so much for the opportunity #kolkatalitmeet! We thoroughly enjoyed it and hope the audience did too! @anibhat123 @nirupamakotru @RatnottamaSen

@agathachristie Read both. Nemesis, Elephants, Dumb Witness are also memory tales. Christie often plays with memory, or "false memory". Variations of this line "I never forget a face" occur in most works, either as clue or misdirection. Amazingly, she even plays with the readers' memory.

📖 Both of these retrospective murder mysteries rely on psychology and memory, with tense revelations throughout. Have you read either of these?

Josephine Tey was born on this day, 25th July, in 1896. She didn't write nearly as many detective novels as some of her fellow "Queens of Crime", but she still penned some absolute classics. Which of these is your favourite?

@goodreads Wilkie Collins

Tough question, but if you had to pick just one: Who’s your favorite author?

@thatbigdesidude Just read. Well expressed. Angst experienced is easy to deny by bystanders, even if their intention isn't necessarily antagonistic. Recovery involves the scraping of mental scar tissue, healing, regrowth... Yet the bump remains, always. Keep writing 👍
