Professional book-pusher at Sceptre Books (Hodder & Stoughton) and self-facilitating media node. I'm usually more charasmatic than this.

tonnes of fun was had this year at my annual event highlight, the Sceptre Salon, which is always worth the stress-dreams and last minute panic about where the tombola is

I'm loving this evening's #SceptreSalon25, packed with exciting books for the year ahead but also brilliant for programming a simple livestream for booksellers outside of London to watch too.

SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS, the debut novel by @cmgleeson.bsky.social is coming in April - from the first word to the last, this is such an accomplished & exquisitely sensitively-handled story of how a woman rebuilds her life after the most horrific of tragedies. Moving, devastating & ultimately hopeful

This is superb: multiple POVs in musical prose, moving, grim, funny... on inequality, hope, and how class impacts women's lives. Deftly deals with sexual assault (bleak reading it alongside McGr**g*r's court case). Brilliant work @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social. Out next June, @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

it's lovely to see so many people discovering Samantha Harvey's writing. her novel The Western Wind introduced me to the word 'cropsick' which is a wonderful old term for a hangover

I always get a kick when a reviewer manages to distil a book so skilfully. This is brilliant by Rachel Seiffert on The Land in Winter by "the master of nuance, expert at exploring the various chambers of the human heart", Andrew Miller: www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller review – light in the darkness
Set during the Big Freeze of 1962-3, this story of two marriages brilliantly evokes the legacy of the second world war

One of the most fun things about having kids is getting to reread books you loved as a child and realising they're probably a huge reason why you became the person you are

I'm pleased to be here because I now have an outlet for my thoughts on RIVALS, which are as follows: - loved it! - Danny Dyer is a criminally underused actor. - I would bete much like to be invited to a Rivals themed Christmas party (in a Cotswolds mansion, ofc)
