Tomorrow, The Blind Light comes out in paperback. It is #IndieBookshopWeek. Why not pick up a copy from one of my favourites such as @BookBarUK @BurleyFisher @Ink84Books @Bookishcrick @newsfromnowhere @NewhamBookshop

@HenryGJeffreys There is of course NOvember.

Slippery slope in action. You let them have a Dry January, then they want a Sober October and then the whole summer. Next it'll be Coca-Cola Christmas.

Oh God, people are now trying to make Dry July and Sober Summer a thing. They must be stopped!

@RowanHLB More than welcome. I blurbed it too!

@StuartEvers It was that. You are brilliant! Thank you for pulling it up from the depths of my clearly very foggy memories.

Does anyone remember a literary short story that came out a few years ago, (I think as part of a collection) that took the form of a quiz but the quiz questions started to tell a story?

@JanetEmson @bookshop_org_UK Spent Light by Lara Pawson (if you haven't read already). Best book of the year in my humbles.

I have £20 @bookshop_org_UK credit to use up by 20 December. I have forgotten the name of every book I want to buy. What should I spend my money on? (I don’t read sci fi and horror).

@davidmmerritt @BBGMedia Congratulations. Today, and my mornings, will be diminished by your absence, but I will follow you to the other side.

Delighted to share that the peerless Mishal Husain is joining Bloomberg. bloombergmedia.com/press/mishal-h… via @BBGMedia

@Evan_Dando My favourite ever of your songs. And a great version.

Join Veronica Raimo in conversation with @StuartEvers this Friday, 29th November, at 6:30pm, talking about her bestselling, prize-winning novel LOST ON ME. Book now: tinyurl.com/59jnr5uw @ViragoBooks @Einaudieditore @TheBookerPrizes @fromtheitalian

Delighted to get my first Brexit benefit! EE just told me that soon I'll be able to use calls, texts and data in the EU from just £2.47 per day! It's great, because that's a full £2.47 a day more than they were obligated to charge under EU legislation. Win.

@maxjliu I struggle to see the writer of The Wind Up Bird in much of his later work, and your review of this latest is very welcome as it means I don't need to read it. Thanks for saving me the cash.

Reviewed the new Murakami. Hmm inews.co.uk/culture/books/…

@rblandford @LoveReadinguk It's looking good.

@rblandford @LoveReadinguk Suitable for an 11 year old who knows all the swears?

Really looking forward to this - do come along!

Chime! It's Orbital for the win. Well done, Sam Harvey! So deserved.

This is the first year in ages I've read all the Booker Shortlist. I loved three, enjoyed two and was entertained but not massively enthused by one. Hoping for Orbital or Held as the winner.

@KatyaTaylor @IrishTimesCultr @ScribeUKbooks @classicpenguins @FaberBooks @EuropaEdUK @PressIndigoThe @CharcoPress Just bought Darkenbloom x

@DauntBooksPub @garymichael02 It is a perfect Christmas book.

@Jamielog1 I have it, but not read it.

@StuartEvers The fictional biography that came out a few years ago. I quite enjoyed it. He lived an interesting life in interesting times

In my continuing descent into the Thomas Mann hole, I watched Death in Venice last night. It's a superb performance by Dirk Bogarde, but my god, an entire hour of a man's furtive glances at a young boy is more than I could take.

@LRBbookshop Only Subbuteo Faulks springs to mind.

apart from nick hornby and geoff warhammer, are there any other novelists named after small-scale modelling ranges?

@Jamielog1 Reading The Magic Mountain at the moment. That one?

@StuartEvers Have you read that Magician book?
