Of course, shout about the wins. Definitely! But it's not all fancy book launches and bestsellers. Not every book will do well. Sometimes we fall down. And it's good to talk about that too. So, erm, that's it, really. Let's all celebrate being failures! 😁

Obsessed with this show… even though it’s my second time watching in as many months. Wondering if the laminated Adam Brody poster I bought in HMV as a pre-teen is still knocking around my mum’s attic cause 😍😍😍#NobodyWantsThis

Absolutely hilarious is the only way to describe Sue Hincenbergs’s debut, The Retirement Plan, with a cast of charming but deeply flawed characters I couldn’t help rooting for! @rachelneely.bsky.social
