Lovely event with @zoeannewest.bsky.social at #NeroBookAwards.

Lots of lovely bookish/writing chat & bumped into @savidgereads.bsky.social at the bar.

Thank you @caffenero.bsky.social for my goodie bag with a copy of the winning book #MauriceandMaralyn & delicious coffee.

Also THE #BillBryson!

#SophieElmhirst’s #MauriceandMaralyn wins #NeroBookoftheyearPrize. The Guardian long read writer’s ‘enthralling’ first book was said to reach ‘the highest literary eminence’ by judging chair Bill Bryson www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... 📚

Compelling! It's not often I get through a book in little over a day, but this one had me gripped from start to finish.
