The shortlisted books are now with our judging panel… while we wait for the ceremony on 20th February, when the winner will be announced, our interns are enjoying a spot of reading around our beautiful Edge Hill University campus. #edgehilluniversity #shortstoryprize #shortlist

@TobiasvRyan At least your DVD collection has a use now

@TobiasvRyan painterly light

@LadyHaywire Ah, your scream in the Xmas tree video 🤣 I did that this morning when Tilda climbed my leg! Very sorry for your loss, she looks a very strong personality!

Destroyer of Christmas trees and terroriser of rodents (plus the live bat released in my kitchen will never be forgotten) She had two adorable kittens two months after arriving her in 2011 & became a lifelong buddy to Kovu though she used to wallop him at times too. 2/4

It's with a heavy heart that I tell everyone that Squeak suffered a relapse with her vestibular syndrome yesterday & though she tried to battle it again, she passed away on my lap this evening. Some people would say she was *just* a cat but for 13 years she was our cat 1/4

This is your #saturdaylibrarian reminding you that when you can't think of anything else to do, a great weekend activity is taking your demons and unresolved issues and visiting your local library.

@LousyLibrarian Oh my god I can relate so bad. That made me laugh

@AndrewMackeyUK Lovely photo

So I left mum in the morning light, happy with her simple days. 😊🙏🏻

@Plath_Society What a cover 😍

Happy 62nd Birthday, The Bell Jar! 🎂 #SylviaPlath

@jr_carpenter If then GOTO run

@InkyplotsArt Cunning Women by @EKLeeWriter has just got me back into it if you decide to break your no buying rule!

Morning, I’d lost the art of reading for more time than I care to admit. My 12 yr old Niece was a fan too but lost her way. Together we decided to read a book a month, separate Authors discuss after. I’m not buying any as I’ve a house full of talented writers, will review after📕

Anyone know what the super bright object very low in the sky is as the moment? Sirius?

@CuriosoTheGreat What a beautiful cat! Sleek

Happy National Short Story Day everyone x

Day 19 of #HooklandChristmasTree decoration. Time for modernist ornaments. We take the chain of electrical pylons from box, the silver wires between them pulled tight. Under them we scatter repurposed dolls and action figures into a march of ragged walkers, Children of The Hum.

A pretty shameful and disturbing fact about Britain. theguardian.com/environment/20…
