I should say the same of myself, but I'm still aggrieved...

Had a fabulous time at the Wigtown Book Festival being chaired by the lovely @writerkcampbell.bsky.social who unlike Eric Morecambe asked all the right questions and in the right order.

Fascinating talk at the Muriel Spark Society by psychiatrist Allan Beveridge who talked about the presentation of madness and mental illness in her work. She wrote in The Comforters, "We are all a little mad in one or other particular." Then to Le Bistrot which has an interesting take on literature.

This is an incredible book - @gillianshirreffs.bsky.social exploring her diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer through the writing she did over 800 days. There are longer pieces and short bursts of words in emails, texts and tweets. Beautifully presented and produced by @intocreative.bsky.social

I always look forward to the publication of a new book in Olga Wojtas's wonderful Miss Blaine's Prefect series and this latest book did not disappoint. This time, Shona finds herself on the uncharted island of the title and as usual has no idea why Miss Blaine has sent her there or what she has been sent to do. If you haven't come across Shona before what you need to know is that she is a time-travelling librarian who works at Morningside library here in Edinburgh.
