started reading Helena Kelly’s lavishly illustrated, oversized #book The World’s of Jane Austen. Explains the context of #history and culture during which Jane wrote that both influenced and inspired her. #JaneAusten #booksky @quartobooksuk.bsky.social #JaneAusten250
cover of Helena Kelly's book The Worlds of Jane Austen: Influences and Inspiration Behind the Novel. Generally pale green, showing drawing of Jane sitting at a table writing with partial fireplace and wall of small pictures behind her as seen through a white doorway from hall with plants on top of furniture on either side and more small pictures on the hall wall.

💥📣 My new book will be out on 7 May! Order your copy now: geni.us/PeaceMakers. It’s the exciting story of the men and women of the Foreign Office in WWII. In a world torn apart by war, they evacuated UK citizens, picked up intel in shadowy corners, corralled allies and organised PoW escape lines.

Yay! My lovely publisher @quartobooksuk.bsky.social has chosen my book to photograph this season because it's 'The perfect choice for Christmas gifting.' 🎁 Naturally, I rather agree 😉 Here's their gorgeous photo, and a peek inside too. And here's the book: geni.us/ThePlaceImin
A photo of my book The Place I'm in surrounded  by items you would make a wreath with: leaves, dried fruit and berries etc. Photographed against a white-washed wooden floor.Image of a page with this observation: Woman on her phone: Ten
minutes. Ten minutes’ walk in
the park. I’m sure the stationery
cupboard will cope, Adeeba. 
Next to a black and white drawing of the woman by Adam Beer.A section from In The Park - pink background, text reads: People are fascinating and familiar here. They bring picnics, books,
dogs, frisbees, footballs, bunting and a circus kit. They come to bake in
the sun or to think, to talk privately on the phone or to a friend or with
a group to celebrate a birthday. They stay for a while or cycle through.
Sometimes it’s calm and beautiful, but also edgy or a place to feel sad
or lonely. It’s a space we can go without buying a coffee or knowing a
code – without a ticket to get in. Our shared gardens.
A woman at the entrance talks to her dachshund, who is refusing to go
in, ‘You like it when you get there though, don’t you?’
With black and white illustrations by Adam Beer.Mum on the school run: Ready, spaghetti?
Little boy: Just ready.
This: Mum: Oh, you’ve grown out of ‘Ready,
spaghetti’?
Little boy: Not completely.
Just this morning.

Just finishing the book “Forgotten Churches: Exploring England’s Hidden Treasures” by Luke Sherlock. A quite magical book, a mix of architecture, travel and history. Also exploration of place. With evocative illustrations throughout from Ioana Pioaru. Thoroughly recommended. #Booksky
A hardback book standing resting on a red sofa. The book has a dark spine decoration and the cover image is a richly atmospheric black and white drawing on a creamy backdrop looking down towards an old church surrounded by gravestones in long grass and trees. Very idyllic scene.

A photo of the book in hardcover against a blue background. The cover is a very light peach colour and has illustrations by Adam Beer of: a café in orange, a seagull and a girl with a kite in blue, a green pigeon, pink cow parsley and plastic bags and a yellow origami boat and leaves. The title is The place I’m in ‘WHAT I SEE WHEN I STOP TO NOTICE’ in black letters. It has this quote at the bottom ‘This Book is lovely’ by Philip Pullman.
Also headshots of me and Felicity Ward in circle shapes and the Book Elephant logo in green which is the title and some books the size of an elephant which is next to them. Also the info about the event in dark blue letters (repeated in the post).

Today my postie delivered the loveliest thing! @mirandakeeling.com has a new book coming called "The Place I'm In", and she was kind enough to send me a copy (Squee!). My goodness, it's beautiful. If you enjoy my spotted posts, Miranda is the OG of people watching and this book is pure joy.
You're looking at a white hardcover book, think the size of a paperback novel, wrapped up in a very pretty pale blue ribbon. There are some postcards and a bookmark sitting under the ribbon, but you can't quite see what they say. The book is sitting on my coffee table which features a woven green, tan and red placemat that looks a bit like a target that dares you to put your coffee cup in the middle. And there's also a small vase that has some dried lambs tails in it... not actual lambs tails but those little grass seed thingies that are all fluffy at the top. I got them from the beach a year ago and every time I look at them they make me happy so they're also in this picture. The whole vibe here is a very nice gift about to be unwrapped. And here you have the book unwrapped! A pale blue ribbon is sitting above the book, a postcard, a small flyer and a bookmark. Now you can see the book is white with a black title that says: "The place I'm in: What I see when I stop to notice" and there's a gorgeous ochre drawing of a building below with little drawings of birds and flowers and things around it. Think whimsy and you've got the right feel. The postcard has the same building on it and the bookmark features the book title. There's also the same placemat and vase of lambs tails in this picture as the last but they're totally being upstaged and seem fine with it.
