We don't tweet about our @bookshop_org_UK page very often (because of our special fondness for very sexy lighthousebookshop.com home) BUT look how snazzy this new @BookFringe list looks on there! Nice cool blue on a very hot day... uk.bookshop.org/shop/Lighthous…

Huge congrats to Sulaiman Addonia - an astonishing writer, whose novels have a humanity, heart and clarity I’ve rarely had the pleasure to read. What a joy to see his talent celebrated so! (Read Sulaiman’s books people, they’re a gift)

Today, I woke up as a Fellow of the @RSLiterature. Part of me wants to dedicate this moment to those who helped in welcoming me & my brother to Britain as unaccompanied underage immigrants. We spend so much energy, rightly so, fighting those who don’t want refugees here.

Endless growth is impossible on finite resources. Where do we look for true alternatives, rather than simply versions of the same story? Don't miss @adribuller, @RebTamas & @JessJohannesson at #Edinburgh #bookfringe, Aug 6th at @Lighthousebks - tickets: lighthousebookshop.com/events/if-not-…

Stunning news for all of us! '[@adalimon's] melodic poems, which embrace the orality of poetry and language, often touch on the natural world, which she uses as much more than just a setting. Trees .. become characters in her poems; sometimes they dance.' nytimes.com/2022/07/12/boo…

Have been a little distracted by moon jellyfish these past few days but finally sat down to gawp at this programme and every single event looks unmissable. The bookshops of Scotland just keep knocking it out of the park, it's astonishing.
