Yay for Nooks and https://t.co/Eb8zGFqy7u!

I've never read The Fierce Bad Rabbit (& shd rectify my oversight immediately!) but I frequently think to myself when rdng Beatrix Potter aloud that for children's stories there is an unexpectedly macabre flavor because of her matter-of-fact acceptance of death as part of life.

There's no way to know which round of viral illness will be a trigger. It's so much easier to fix indoor air filtration and wear filtering masks where indoor air filtration quality is unknown or inadequate.

Happy launch day to @DorothyGreco and For the Love of Women! If you missed my interview with Dorothy about the book last week here’s a link: https://t.co/JMpEtTKNBo

Always disappointing when we need to send one of these.

Oh, my. Just received a review copy of @NadyaWilliams81's new book, Christians Reading Classics: An Introduction to Greco-Roman Classics from Homer to Boethius (@ZonderAcademic). Cause for celebration--above all for the book itself, of course, but also for the delightful.../1

@patriarchysons I am currently reading George Marsden's book on the fundamentalists, and it's *mind-blowing* how many of the original fundamentalists would be considered liberals today. This was also the topic of the paper I wrote on Machen's "Christianity and Liberalism" at Westminster. 😆

A little neck repair for this lovely wool sweater! No need to replace something because of a small hole, when you can repair it and give it a new lease of life! #visiblemending #repair #darning #reducewaste #sustainableliving

@Saffiya_Khan1 @TrudiG @SkyNews @KamaliMelbourne I actively hated lockdowns, cried my way through them and felt I was neglecting my children while they were stuck at home and I tried to work. Would have that again forever, compared to what I have now, which is two chronically ill children with long covid who can’t function

I hope you'll check out my interview with @DorothyGreco, and then read her book! You can still preorder--it comes out a week from today.

I have an interview with @DorothyGreco coming out in just three weeks!

@LucySRAusten I do think it's a bright era for bios with all the sources we have. Some excellent newer ones off the top of my head I've heard of: Sylvia Plath - Heather Clark R.L. Stevenson - Leo Damrosch Joseph Smith - John Turner Oscar Wilde - Matthew Sturgis T.S. Eliot - Robert Crawford

Tolkien’s A Secret Vice, his “manifesto” on invented languages edited from his manuscripts by me + Andy Higgins, has been released by @HarperCollinsUK as a Tolkien “signature” edition. Amazing to see my name on a bookcover alongside Tolkien’s authorised signature! @TolkienSociety

Fantastic news from @WADeptHealth 🎉🎉🎉 They have issued standing orders to allow anyone age 6m+ to receive Covid vaccines AND you can self-attest to receive additional doses later in the year!!

On this day in 1893, Beatrix Potter, writing from Eastwood in Dunkeld, sent a picture letter to Noel Moore, the son of her former governess Annie Moore. Noel was ill, and Beatrix hoped to cheer him with a story. Within that letter appeared, for the very first time, Peter Rabbit.
