Good to see the hotel manager from White Lotus S1 has found work with the Australian entry #Eurovision

And so it begins...a Def Leppard circa '83 concert- level of dry ice #Nibbies

Just noticed this in the Edinburgh airport gents. Is GoJo's apparent expansion from tech to hygiene products a way to deflect from the dodgy India numbers? How will this affect the Waystar deal?

Frome station's blue plaque claiming a bit of Bloomsbury Group stardust seems a bit of a reach (Leonard Woolf happened to be staying nearby with a friend from Cambridge at the time).

Our magisterial second annual Translation Focus, the cover of which raises the immediate question: where can I buy Karin Smirnoff's incredible cardi?

Btw, a fact I learned interviewing Maud Ventura was that French publishers only accept physical submissions (she posted 10 MSs on the same day to different houses). On a sustainabilty, cost to strugging writers etc just absolute...folie.

I haven't re-read Blood Meridian as much as other favourite books (it's a bit too full on and I have nightmares about the judge for days) but passages are imprinted in my brain, not least the ending paragraph. RIP Cormac McCarthy.

You realize @usmnt jt batson better managers are available? Leaving out the blinkered tactics, head-scratching subs, Reynagate etc - rehiring someone who admitted domestic violence (no matter how old he was or his relationship with her since) is astonishingly offensive.

Not 100% sure what to read into this. HC was the second-biggest publisher in Ireland last year through BookScan (9% of the market). I guess the vast marjority of that was UK & US originated titles. Seems slightly odd, though, when others (Bonnier for ex) are coming into Ireland.

A very important thread! Thanks to this year's amazing list of Rising Stars! Please give them your congrats. Heck, if you are their employer, why not give them a pay rise?

Congratulations to all Rising Stars, just unveiled by The Bookseller. "The Class of 2023 are united by a desire to grow readerships (...) and, perhaps more tellingly, a will to improve the industry’s duty of care to staff." We can't wait to see Shooting Star Maria Garbutt-Lucero at #fbm23!

Live scenes of tomtivnan raising a glass to the 2023 The Bookseller Rising Stars last night 🥂

This is really amazing and we're so thrilled. Just wanted to thank all the volunteers at Indie and Watson, Little Ltd Arts on the Green Ink@84 Books & Drink and... prob best to stop before this turns into some akin to the Oscars. But thank you The Bookseller tomtivnan!

Why did you move to Frome, you ask? Isn't it obvious?

A nice angle, but J K Rowling (writing as Robert Galbraith) was the UK's top selling female crime writer last year (£3.1m to Jackson's £2.9m per Nielsen BookScan).

Bologna's world class dates move trolling claims another victim. thebookseller.com/news/adam-ridg…

Important thread!
