Paywalled, but shamelessly reposting for that headline!

Oh dear God yes that is me aged almost 10, wearing a cardy my nana knitted. Don't want to talk about the haircut. You'll have to buy the new Listener if you want to see me heading off to my 6th form social in the taffeta dress my mum made.

What I’m Reading: Kate Camp Poet Kate Camp enjoys an early look at the hotly anticipated new novel by her friend Catherine Chidgey.

Kate Camp on #TheBookofGuilt: "Absolutely stunning! A creepy but compassionate psychological thriller with flavours of Kazuo Ishiguro, set in a 1970s boarding school. So, so good." 🥰 www.thepress.co.nz/culture/3606...

A very late night for me last night, but I loved talking about #TheBookofGuilt with Sara Cox for BBC Radio 2 Book Club. The interview will air in a couple of weeks 😍

We have 3 odd-eyed cats and over the years have had 8 in total - all rescues. They seem to find us! Moby in my last post is our chonker.

This is Mintie. Mintie doesn’t like to share. Mintie recommends you get your own chocolate and wishes you a joyous Easter.

Cuties! That's some excellent ear action.

Thank you! We have two others just like him - all rescues. :)

The claws will be out if he doesn't.

Moby was such a good boy on our 3.5 hour photoshoot for Woman's Day! He says being a supermodel is highly stressful and now he's comfort-eating.

That does look good!

Jesus is watching you and is very disappointed.

Queen Bex has spoken! So thrilled to have her seal of approval for #TheBookofGuilt 🥰

I haven't been hanging out here much, but had to stop by to say I'm SO excited that #TheBookofGuilt has been chosen for the @bbcradio2.bsky.social Book Club with Sara Cox! Thank you to @readingagency.bsky.social and their fabulous readers and librarians 🥰

He's a big boy...our white whale.

No, this is Moby. He doesn't move much.

Very nice!

Halloween ennui

Thanks so much!
