“Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand”

Eggs, The Talented Mr Ripley, Song Two. Only eggs get a pass because it's not their fault they're shit-smellingly disgusting.

Also astonishing that you literally thank someone *else* for providing the Italian vocab. What am I even *for*

A Day at the Races would be a good one for your comparison purposes, I think. Still a wee bit concept, but much more cohesive.

I got the world's most grudging acknowledgement in @mhairim.bsky.social's second novel!

"Oh, and my film agent Mark Casarotto has to be thanked or else he sulks." - my acknowledgement in Mhairi McFarlane's novel "Here's Looking at You"

Oh god yes. I don't want any dictator of any stripe, thank you very much! He is strictly a fantasy tyrant :)

My guilty secret is as a lefty, I'd sort of quite like a Vetinari.

It's pretty cool how close pals the Jillies and Morporkians Only Connect teams have become, all things considered 😊

I hope I shuffle off after the kind of life Jilly Cooper had, and I hope my pals on the internet talk about me like they're talking about Jilly (this is not going to happen).

Still, at least I've always got this:

I am sure you've had this before, but I've been very much enjoying your appearance on Masterchef Australia!

You spooky season reminder that I wrote a quartet of gothic mystery novels that imagine that before they were authors, the Bronte sisters were amateur sleuths.

I see - so Reform really need to become 20% more racist to satisfy their supporters. Don't see that being a problem 😬

Honestly Isabel. I feel I'm now favouriting so many of your posts you must be considering legal options, yet NOT faving such gems would be unseemly. What to do!
