Really really good to have a story in @NoTokensJournal today, part of their new issue 💗💗 notokensjournal.com/fiction/what-i…

Hello! I’ve started a little newsletter about possibly my greatest passion, going to the carboot. Kind of. It’s also about personal histories of clothing, treasuring and caring for secondhand items, and the thrill of the hunt. pemamonaghan.substack.com/p/letter-00-li…

@RowanHLB I got quite into Joan Aiken’s pulp crime novels - she wrote everything, every genre! Genius

Okay, book-friends—I have a question. What are your favourite well-written crime novels? i.e. A whydunnit or a whodunnit with the level of sentence work and characterization you'd demand from a "literary" novel?

@TibetanReview @GWBLibrary @DalaiLama What does it mean for His Holiness to accept an award like this from a man like George Bush? Is that not a question we should be asking?

@TibetanReview @GWBLibrary @DalaiLama If Tibetans can’t ally ourselves alongside other persecuted groups, what do we have? Shallowly being grateful for the attentions of politicians who pay lip service in this way is useless and also harmful.

"Today, we honor him as a universal symbol of peace and tolerance, a shepherd for the faithful, and a keeper of the flame for his people" - President George W. Bush 43rd President of the United States, his remarks on presenting the Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama

Going through page proofs! (Also please enjoy the Halloween horror movie lighting.)

We are heartbroken at the death of our beloved author, Dame Hilary Mantel, and our thoughts are with her friends and family, especially her husband, Gerald. This is a devastating loss and we can only be grateful she left us with such a magnificent body of work.
