What to do of a Thursday? Well, there's @kimmoorepoet, @HelenMort & @ChrisNeilan reading at Lit Up at @chapter1uk, April 5th, 7pm. Or you could watch Murder, She Wrote on ITV3, which would also be good.

Okay LitUppers (just invented that) it's time to suggest a theme for @HelenMort & @ChrisNeilan to expound upon in their opening pieces at this Thursday's Lit Up at @chapter1uk... we've had ice, we've had food... what'll it be this time?

Need a fix of brand new poetry? Course you do, why wouldn't you? Try John Fennelly's truly excellent Another Hunger, seen here enjoyed by your Lit Up hosts. It's a work of beauteous melancholy, full of heart and honesty.
