  1. Madeline Miller wins 2012 Orange Prize!
  2. I'm not surprised! RT @HPUKCulture: Joanna Trollope: "We wrestled over winner for 3 hours. It was painful." #OrangePrize
  3. @emma_naomi That explains why I haven't heard of it :-)
  4. @emma_naomi I love Mieville, but haven't heard of that one. The Testimony sounds good, but can see it is a difficult concept to pull off
  5. @emma_naomi What are you reading at the moment?
  6. @emma_naomi I'm reading Half Sick of Shadows at the moment. It is good so far (1/3 of way through) reminds me of The Wasp Factory
  7. @emma_naomi I occasionally enjoy magical realism, but most of the time I don't.
  8. @emma_naomi Interesting to read your review. I was interested in premise, but don't enjoy Carter or Atwood so have been put off
  9. @Leeswammes I know its length will put off a lot of people, but it is worth it. Hope you decide to get it at some point.
  10. New blog post: The Street Sweeper by Elliot Perlman bit.ly/Kxo6K8 My favourite book of the year so far.
  11. @booksellercrow @beckenhambooks 400!
  12. @Perednia @HarvF Glad I'm not the only one to think the new Frayn wasn't that good. Everyone else seems to love it.
  13. New blog post: The Soldier’s Return by Melvyn Bragg bit.ly/JFvakP A perfect character study @sceptrebooks
  14. @Suejustbooks It is good to know I'm not alone!
  15. Color Distribution of 2011 YA Book Covers bit.ly/Kb2HEM (via @smartbitches )
  16. @philipdsjones: Will Amazon be setting the price of the ebooks in Waterstones? #kindlestones
  17. @amyjpirt: @worldlittoday My favourite is GIGIL The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute
