@JoannaCannon I love that this is your starting word!

I rarely post Wordle stuff on here but seriously. I am ridiculously giddy and please use this reaction as a barometer for my life 😂 Wordle 745 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@LBFlyawayhome Towels (very faded pink and blue - no stereotypes there!) at primary school for a year or two (very early 70s), then the green paper towels.

The school washroom, 1959. (Real towels? In my memory - a decade later - it was green paper towels) Artist: Harry Wingfield

@bertsbooks So many from my childhood: Hungry Caterpillar, Peter Rabbit and Elmer especially. Can’t choose a favourite!

I have an #ImportantFridayQuestion Who or what is your favourite animal to feature in fiction?

@bertsbooks Seems an apt request for Judi Dench ‘The Man who Pays the Rent’ to be added to the website for pre-order. TIA 😊

Fact fans, it’s 410 years today since Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre burned down, so the best way to commemorate this moment is to buy a book. Bert’s ready with the ribbon while I quote Macbeth at the desk. - Michael

@DrAnnieGray Please could I take advantage of one of those free links?

@AHRestaurants Definitely the egg custard as I dislike lamb intensely!

If you could only pick one of these 3 snacks, which one would it be? 👀 1. Cured trout tart 2. Lamb tartare, kimchi 3. Duck egg custard, Cornish milk, parmesan rind 📍 Frog by Adam Handling

@bertsbooks Like the sound of this one… Ordered! 😊

Michael here! I read Rental Person Who Does Nothing over the weekend, which is the true story of a man who rents himself out when you need someone to do nothing. Really interesting concept, and available to order now! bertsbooks.co.uk/product/rental…

@bertsbooks About to start reading Kate Morton’s latest, ‘Homecoming’.

What's everyone reading this weekend?

Loved spending time with Sunny, Beena and Natalie this week @sukhojla! 💕

Fab @missminifer tart inspired by her Roasting Tin series 💕

An update to Android phones has changed how SOS calls are activated and has led to an increase in mobile phone users accidentally calling 999. This change has contributed to a spike in demand in our Force Control Room 🧵

@Nigella_Lawson Mine all mine sweet and salty chocolate cookies… quadrupled the recipe to make 18!

@bertsbooks Started ‘Seven Exes’ yesterday. Think I’m the wrong (aka too old) demographic! 😂

What’s everyone reading this weekend?

They’ve missed off “learning the recorder”

@bertsbooks I need a new book! Suggestions gratefully received. I hate fantasy/sci fi/horror with a vengeance!

You MUST now stop whatever you're doing and go home (if you're not already there) Whatever book you're reading, spend the evening finishing it. - for tomorrow sees the start of Indie Bookshop Week - and you'll need a new book! Tell your boss I said it was ok.

This is for people in the Barnsley area - you may wish to forward it to people who might be interested. Thank you!

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be... 😊💫🎶 #ClangersforKindness

#Wimbledon - home to generation after generation of trailblazers 💫

Cherry and basil soured cream cake from Linger @simplethingsmag - unusual and delicious 😋

@Helen_Fields I avoid celebrity fiction for that reason. M

I’ve read 3 badly written celebrity fiction books recently. 3 books that wouldn’t have got a publishing deal but for the name on the cover.That’s 3 advances that could have gone to real writers who could have done something amazing. 3 books so bad the editor couldn’t save them 🙁
