The London Library last night. Spiritual home of London writers since 1841. Spotting them in the wild couldn’t be easier:

1. Reading War & Peace in an armchair & going out for lunch = recently published

2. Frowning over a laptop = three months till deadline, resenting group 1

Who else enjoyed this almost indecently and what should I read next??

(If you haven’t - Gill was achingly funny, original and acerbic, also moving - give him a go!) 💙📚 #booksky

Would love to be included - though my first book isn’t out till next year!!

My feed seems to be entirely authors, booksellers and local library enthusiasts. No one seems angry. Is anyone else unsettled?
