A beautiful literary morning in the sun at The Book Revue: Frankie Murrey in conversations with Pippa Smith about #ACollectionOfGaps and @openbookfestival.bsky.social!

A @karavanpress.bsky.social @karinamszczurek.bsky.social Saturday feast. I was happily glued to my seat for a thoughtfully curated writers' morning. Loved the moving and memorable Andre Brink tribute by @pennyhaw.bsky.social. As usual, I bought a clutch of Karavan books.

This is an incredible production. The audience today leaped to their feet at the end. I def saw some people leaving the theatre crying.

We launched THE FOURTH BOY by Andrew Robert Wilson in his hometown of Calitzdorp on Friday. The novel is set mostly in the Klein Karoo and is an exceptional addition to its literary landscape. If you are heading there (or anywhere) on the N2, make sure to get a copy at Liberty Books!

Last night at the contributors' launch of TEMPERATURE. We gathered at Karin Lijnes's beautiful home in Noordhoek to celebrate the new Karavan Stories anthology.

It was too perfect a juxtaposition 🥰

At the TEMPERATURE launch in Noordhoek: @anneschlebusch.bsky.social & @gailgil.bsky.social! ❤️

Nothing else to add ... ;)

Thank you @anneschlebusch.bsky.social for the photograph.

A happy Joelle Searle at the @exclusivebooks.bsky.social (Cavendish) launch of her debut novel, Odette. That's @gailgil.bsky.social, her discussant, posing for @pennyhaw.bsky.social. The guests loved the wartime Paris theme.

When did "festive" jump from being an adjective (for a few centuries) to being a noun? Is this just a South African thing? I'm only noticing it this "Festive" for the first time...

Compact cat chillin' ❤️

I have a story in this! I'm very fond of it and its characters. The collection is an engrossing and varied read!

How awful. Hope you get the solution asap.

Ok. A new career sideline emerges...

Ok. You have a new career sideline then

How's the floor though? 🤔

Haha

Knock Knock. That's me at your door with my spoon.

Hooray. I look forward to your feisty, cheerful, firm and thoughtful posts.

Poor baby! I suspect those words all apply to you too, poor girl! 😢

Only one word left: resurge.
But if you need hot scones, music, country walks etc then lay them on!
Then resurge.
Either gently or vehemently - as you see fit.

What a woebegone child!

Hooray. Cape Town's amazing book champion. #booksky

Gosh, you made me tear up suddenly. It was really written from the heart for whoever was going through stuff. Your response means a lot to me. 🤗

I see my 2020 Bernie is looking a tad discombobulated. Prolly 2024 Bernie is pretty much feeling like this too. This pic was not posed - it's a live action shot.
