ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social @ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social · 27/07/2025Happy Sunday! And huge thanks to everyone who has bought #thelightacandlesociety (in any format) So excited to wake up and find that it is now an Amazon Top Ten Kindle Bestseller. This book is so special to me - it means the world. Ps - it's NOT a romance #kindle #bestseller #fiction #notaromance 120
ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social @ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Whilst writing #thelightacandlesociety, I saw this film starring the brilliant Eddie Marsan. It's a quiet masterpiece of a movie, and I can't recommend it highly enough @atlanticbooks.bsky.social @mslisahighton.bsky.social #publichealthfunerals #eddiemarsan 020
ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social @ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I would love to have seen that! 110

ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social @ruthhoganauthor.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Who remembers Loulou by Cacharel? Back in the 80s, it was my favourite perfume (along with Poison for Big Nights out!) It's also the perfume of choice of one of my characters in #thelightacandlesociety. Pure coincidence it matches the cover of the book! #fictionalcharacters #loulou #perfume #1980s 120
