“Biscuit Versus the Bin Men.” Coming to a cinema near you, soon.📽

@kathleenwalsh3556

All good, kiddah

I have loved these women’s prize vlogs, they have been an absolute treat! And also getting 3 big ones in quick succession (oo-err 🤣). It certainly doesn’t matter to me as a viewer that you haven’t read them all yet. I have loved your energy and hearing your real-time feedback - and the cat content 🐈

@sbeale276

I’ve loved these videos they are my little bit of escapism after a few difficult weeks these came at a great time for me to just sit and watch and forget about it all. So thank you and keeping making these fab videos and the cat appearances are just gems😊

📚 & Lush = 2 of my favorite things out here

@Ihearbooks

about 80% into Exit Ghost and was anxious to hear your thoughts on it. Have been doing it both in audio and print. The audio with the Arabic language accent and the fact it is a play gives it a special vibe that is hard to put down but that said it is too dense a book for the audio format so I often read parts before or after listening. I'm not going to put down too much of my thoughts since I am reading it for the BookTube prize. I too visited Israel about 10 years ago and thought I understood much of the conflict but this book gave me great new insight. I'm finding the history so informative and really a book I want to put in so many hands. thanks for a great blog. Just back from over the pond where I was in London and Scotland and want to thank you for the bookshop recommendations from your previous Edinburgh blog. I love, loved this trip again and look so forward to these 2x a year jaunts.

On Open Book today , Sinead Gleason was talking about Hagstone BBC RADIO4 ( BBC SOUNDS)

@funaek3601

So glad you enjoyed 8 Lives! I really loved it too.

Oooooh I am reading Hagstone atm. Really love it! And I just ordered Enter Ghost

@AliceandtheGiantBookshelf

Loved all the cat cameo appearances! You’ve done a great job of reading most of the books in the time. And Then She Fell has just arrived from the library for me so I’m looking forward to getting to that, but I’m currently reading The Wren, The Wren. Enjoyed 8 Lives, some of the stories were excellent. I also think it could have been even better mixed up a bit more in the second half, but the writing was fantastic. I also would like to get to the Carol Shields shortlist- too many of the prizes are sounding so tempting this year. 😂

Omg your pink bathroom I’m in love

@louisesavidgemuses4135

Love the concept of a ‘patchwork’ book and now I feel I’m really missing out on reading the fiction Longlist in its entirety 😢❤

@HannahsBooks

Those huge Great Gatsby glasses over the headboard are fabulous!

@smittenforfiction

And Then She Fell was one of my fav reads last year. I've also read her nonfiction book called A Mind Spread Out on the Ground, which was moving. The ending of ATSF though! I did not see that coming.

@bookonnoisseur

I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on Soldier, Sailor! It’s very dear to me now as a new mom…but separate from my own emotional response, I think it’s just incredibly crafted.

Loved Enter Ghost & Anne Enright - I forgive the latter because of the quality of the writing. Hoping Megan Nolan is shortlisted as well as I loved that too. Enter Ghost -?first time I have read a book about life in Israel / Gaza and made the history and currents events much more real, even though it’s fiction. My only afterthought is that the backstory of Miriam could be edited as the personal & political are pretty well covered through lots of other characters too. Thanks for sharing Simon.
