So excited by @NaomiAllthenews's forthcoming book! I can honestly say that The Power was one of the best novels I've read to date. So looking forward to this new book!! @4thEstateBooks @WmCollinsBooks @harperco
I’ve read a lot of brilliant books this year but I think this might be my favourite so far. Clever, gripping, surprising: all the things you want from dystopian fiction. Out in November @4thEstateBooks @NaomiAllthenews

Well done to @ShakespeareAPPG and all involved - including @ShakesInstitute's Director Professor Michael Dobson - for inaugurating the first APPG for Shakespeare!! And this is the perfect year to do this, as we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the First Folio!! @BordersAlliance
1/2: A fantastic evening on Monday night as we gathered in Speaker’s House to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio. Thank you to @CommonsSpeaker and his team for hosting us and making us feel welcome.
