What a longlist! I've read a few of these already and can only imagine how good the rest are!

What a bloody brilliant book! Well written, accessible and full of Scottish wit and sarcasm. And the icing on the cake? I learned a lot, but it should have take me to age 43 to learn it. This sort of thing should be taught in schools; it’s an important part of our history.

Hope you can join us at Blues Bar on Thurs 17 July from 4pm. Free entry! Spread the word. #amreading #amwriting #harrogate

Cannot wait!
