Early readers are loving this fantastic thriller from @kathryn.sharman - out on 28 May.
‘This took over my entire life until I had finished it! What a perfect thriller … a massive 5 stars!’
Lovely weekend in Lincoln. Here we have the correctly named Steep Hill, amazingly beautiful Lincoln Cathedral and a Victorian prison within Lincoln Castle. This ran on the ‘separate system’ and has the only chapel anywhere where prisoners were separated into individual cubicles. This doesn’t seem to have worked that well as prison officers couldn’t see what the prisoners were doing (mostly sleeping, graffiti-ing or passing each other notes).
Great interview with psychologist Dr Stephanie Fitzgerald in the Guardian. Steph explains how to embrace the winter months rather than trying to escape them. Featuring my favourite new term: ‘revenge bedtime procrastination’. @stephfitzwrites
Thrilled for my brilliant client Prof. Gina Rippon who has won the British Psychological Society’s Popular Science book award for The Lost Girls of Autism. It’s also a @newscientist book of the year! #autism
Congratulations to the brilliant Cara Chimirri - delighted to see you reading @kathryn.sharman ‘s cracking thriller The Family At No. 23 in the @_thebookseller this morning!
I’ve been slowly sorting through my grandparents’ and parents’ slides (no-one ever threw anything away), deciding which to digitise. There are thousands of them and I can only do so many at a time because it’s painful.
