Absolutely LOVED #TheNotoriousVirtues by #AlwynHamilton. Gulped it down, and ignored everyone on my holiday until I had finished. It dripped with glamour, gripped throughout, and I absolutely loved Nora the main. Bravo! @faberbooks.bsky.social
TideMagic book two is out TODAY! Can't wait to dive in and see what @clareharlow.bsky.social has in store for Ista and friends. The first book was a stunner. Just loved it.
I found this envelope with my stuff at the end of an author visit. Hurray for world book day week! π₯°π£π¦¨
