James Campbell began writing this book in a Creative Writing class at #SwarthmoreEducationCentre in Leeds. A success story for #AdultLearning #BookSky. tinyurl.com/3zppsw3e

That's great news, Nicola! It's such an absorbing and interesting series. I was fascinated by the Hitchcock references and rewatched the film of Rebecca recently after finishing 'Shot With Crimson'. Looking forward to the next instalment. #BookBub #JosephineTeySeries #NicolaUpson

Images of book covers for 3 of Nicola Upson's Josephine Tey novels - An Expert In Murder, Angel With Two faces and Two For Sorrow.

Satisfied but sad to have almost finished @nicolaupson.bsky.social's Josephine Tey novels mixing real historical facts with the author's imagined life. Beautifully researched and written prompting a lot of thinking about the characters, events and ethics behind the stories.

My Kind of Town - Series 2: 4. Stornoway Ian and Major head to Stornoway, capital of the Western Isles. With plans for a big new harbour to attract cruise ships and more business investment, Stornoway is looking to the future.

Really got into this series this afternoon, as Ian Hamilton visits various towns around Scotland, though the #Stornoway episode has gone and made me homesick. 😒

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Should jolly well think so.

A memory from that weird Christmas when someone gave an NHS Priority postbox in Leeds a cheery disguise. #PostBoxSaturday

Time to encourage more of this again. #lifelonglearning

Very much enjoying the #JosephineTeyMysteries by @nicolaupson.bsky.social just now. An addictive series. Unpredictable, engrossing and well researched.
