Hi there! Guttingly, there have been some delays getting stock to bookshops, but they're working to fix that asap! In the meantime (if you're partial to them) ebooks and audiobooks are available. Thanks so much for trying!

It’s every author’s dream for our books one day to be sold “by the foot”

Hey, would any of you like the key to a lived-in and refined look?

From House Beautiful (yeah, I read all kinds of magazines): "This is a nonnegotiable for our firm when accessorizing--we insist that the client purchase BOOKS BY THE FOOT. It's truly the key to a lived-in and refined look. They're real books that range in genre, age, distressed appearance and subject, and you can procure them from $12.99 per foot."

I don't think I took a single breath during the first half of this book. 59 Minutes is one of the best stories I've read in a while, with a twist that is SO perfectly executed, I never saw it coming. Out on the 25th from @holly.bsky.social

The book cover for 59 MINUTES by Holly Seddon shows an hourglass with yellow sand on a blue background and the tagline: an hour until the world ends. What would you do?

This is why I struggle with "legitimate concerns," people have no actual idea what's going on

63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months
8% of people think it fell

Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023
[It is falling further in 2025]

Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

Any book suggestions? I’m looking for similar vibe to Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Gatsby, The Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott, The Razor’s Edge, anything by Isherwood… any suggestions?! Novellas and thin novels especially appreciated as holiday ending soon!
