@blablafishcakes @Gillian_Philip Good for her. And I always look forward to her publishing a new book. Great plots, engaging characters, funny and thoughtful.

@helensaxby11 It was a continuation of her work. Enraging.

@LissaKEvans @polblonde @BBCWomansHour I've just bought two new copies. One for my daughter and a new one for me as I gave mine away (again!)

@GoodyActually @JournalistJill I cheered ( endometriosis sufferer) as Emma would not let him get away with his insulting nonsense. The recording doesn't seem to be available, I've looked for it.

Meet Mackenzie Bly (not his real name; see back cover). I wanted to write something purely funny, but I fell in love with my lead character along the way. It's out in August, but the lovely proofs have just arrived. Retweet before tomorrow (Sun) evening, and I'll pick 2 winners.

@simonmontefiore Reading this for the third time and finding it increasingly rewarding. The way in which Keegan switches from Furlong's memories to his present while conveying his terror of loss and his response to what he discovers with such concision is a wonder. A beautiful book.

@Marikacobbold @blablafishcakes @WomensPrize The Benefactors is brutal and funny. It was possibly my favourite read last year. I've only read three from the list so far. Must get a move on!

@SurrogConcern @BBCr4today @matthewsyed I was shocked. I waited for any acknowledgement that a child was being removed from his mother; none. No mention of the willful damage being done. Appalling.

@JeanHatchet @LightninLex My goodness that scarf might even be nicer than the gorgeous suffrage tartan one my daughter gave me for Christmas. I wear mine with supporting jewellery: Sisyphus pushing his boulder up the mountain. Seems appropriate.
