Just about to go on stage ⁦@dlrLexIcon⁩ Studio Theatre with ⁦@libranwriter⁩ for @artnetdlr Writers’ Series to talk books and #Brontes ⁦@LilliputPress⁩

‘Let your imagination soar’ fab messag but particularly apt on a #books bag. It’s on Louisa’s bags ⁦@ravenbooks⁩ one of my favourite independent #bookshops. They need our #Christmas business- Amazon doesn’t. PS Signed copies of my #Bronte novel there ⁦@LilliputPress⁩

@xeronaut1 So Douglas Adams was right? This is how we joined to intelligent entities of the universe

This is bliss. I’m doing almost nothing but #read brilliant thought-provoking #novels chosen by #libraries worldwide- and I can legitimately call it work @LilliputPress @dubcilib @LibrariesNI @DLR_Libraries @NLIreland @SDCClibraries @Irishlibraries @LibrariesIre @PrincessGraceI2

Still time to cast your bookish votes for @AnPostIBAS 💚
