Hi @thebookshopman.bsky.social You’ll love this (though you have probably seen it). I’d love to walk up these stairs.

The Staircase of Knowledge at the University of Balamand in Lebanon, with the Epic of Gilgamesh as the first step.

Just finished The List of Suspicious Things by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social a heartbreaking story (though not without humour) about growing up, friendship, grief & the horror people hide. Set in Yorkshire in the late 70’s - & that place & time are brilliantly evoked (I remember it well!)

I haven't slept all night, but luckily I have several 100 unread books to be working on.

I've just read #ElegySouthWest by Madeleine Watts.
A tender, raw, intelligent, and lyrical love story. I couldn't put it down. This deserves all the awards. I adored it! ❤️

As a huge lover of audiobooks, getting the audio version of The List of Suspicious Things right - ESPECIALLY the accents - was so so important to me. I’m so lucky to have worked with the most amazing team at Penguin audiobooks & now it’s in the best crime & thriller audiobooks of the year! #booksky

A 90 year old lady I look after with bad vision spent 3 months making this. She doesn't think it's good. I think it's amazing and full of character. Let's show her how good it is...
