RIP Brian Glanville, one of the great football writers. I was given this book on my ninth birthday and have read it again and again

Great win for Liverpool in the #UCL but the highlight was the bloke right behind the commentary box singing all the songs

Many thanks to @QuercusBooks for this much anticipated proof. I was hoping for a copy but I didn’t expect my favourite cocktail and some everlasting ice! @ellygriffiths #TheFrozenPeople

@BookshopMike We popped next door to the tiny St Peter's to see the merman font and got a free masterclass of Orlando De Lassus motets from 3 singers from the Cambridge Early Music Consort. Absolutely breathtaking. They are there each Thursday

Wise words from Sam Rayner of UCL about what bookshops bring us, and the real challenges inherent in running one - Bookshops are bucking the high street trend. There are lots of reasons why https://t.co/rSxMqWUt1j via @ConversationUK

Booksellers are weathering the high street storm partly because they offer consumers more than just retail.

so my @CricketScotland shirt has arrived and boy is it a BEAUTY 😍 HOWEVER @graynics have set me a challenge. They’ve said if I get 100 retweets on this tweet then they’ll send me the @KNCBcricket shirt to match the bucket hat! 🤩 Can we make it happen?! 👀

Forgot to get over-priced flowers or a tokenistic card for Valentine's Day? Just pop into your local bookshop and buy them a book instead - something chosen just for them - that means a whole lot more.
