This is a potential hostage to fortune, given that I don't yet know what the guests thought of it, but I'm hugely thrilled to say that in tomorrow's episode of 'A Good Read' (@BBCRadio4 at 3pm), Harriett Gilbert 's book choice is my novel, 'Small Bomb at Dimperley'.

We’re sending good thoughts for the New Year
Though the world’s many issues are weighty.
We’ re fervently praying for peace on the earth
And for Scotland at least to beat Haiti
A blessed and peaceful 2026 to you all!
I just adore a lovely ‘ex libris’ in an old book. The wonderful ‘connection to a shared history of reading’ down the decades as @Nicola_LWilson says in her splendid new book ‘Recommended’
@Nicola_LWilson I have just finished Recommended and loved it. Thankyou so much for exploring a much treasured period of my reading.
Absolutely in my element and indeed many of the choices on our shelves. A postman has just brought two more, including an ex libris from 1954!
