Book people - how do we feel about this ? Agatha Christie reading an audio book of Miss Marple ? Tolkien reading Lord of the Rings ?
Dead authors will soon be narrating their audiobooks... thanks to AI #agathachristie

Wonderful visit to @Ugbrooke with a group of #AgathaChristie fans. This is the place where - in October 1912 - 22-year-old Agatha met Archie Christie, the man who would become her first husband. One highlight- Archie’s signature in the guest book. (Top right)

RIP the original Woman of Substance, Barbara Taylor Bradford. Loved this as a 15-year-old gay boy growing up in the north.

Love this photo of Patricia Highsmith. It was taken by one of her friends - Rolf Tietgens. I examine their complex friendship in my biography, Beautiful Shadow @bloomsburybooks.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social

Despite usually lasting less than 15 minutes, the modern runway show often demands months of preparation. Yet these fleeting displays have the power to cement a designer’s legacy.
