Hilary Mantel. Best writer of our time. Very sad today.
Cloud coffee. Coffee served with a cloud of cotton candy over the cup. The steam dissolves the cloud and it rains sugar. How cool! ☕🌧️

Planning my 8-year-old's birthday party. Instead of giving away plastic tat at the end, I'm giving them a paperback each. Let's normalise this, people!

Great 80s exhibition in Leicester museum. Give it a visit if you're nearby. The movie posters alone were magical! 🎥

What a book! Another 5 ⭐️ from @sky_thieves I knew I was in for a treat after reading about Lux’s first adventures. The Last Monster will not disappoint, review to follow! Thank you Dan! @readingzone @caroline_horn @publishinguclan
This painting is from 1833. It's by Thomas Cole, an artist of extraordinary imaginative power. But The Titan's Goblet isn't even his masterpiece...
