Here's me. Eating toast. From a giant sculpture of Boris Johnson made out of butter. This job is crazy sometimes. Even crazier, the 'Butter Boris' campaign for @Ripleys Believe It or Not! has been shortlisted for Best Generic Campaign in the @publicitycircle's Annual Awards!

Coming soon from legendary actor Keanu Reeves and inimitable writer China Miéville, a genre-bending epic of ancient powers, modern war, and an outcast who cannot die... Pre-order THE BOOK OF ELSEWHERE here: https://t.co/nkk7I7OigX

Anyone else felt the #Crownadvert on #GBBO was really odd? The 'he's just hoping it's his' line had me and the boy raising so many eyebrows

LOOK AT THE PRETTY! This book (The Cassandra Complex - 11th May) means so much to my little neurodivergent heart. Life affirming and utterly unique. Get prepared for me to not shut up about it!

I never cry at books, but #OnlyLoveCanHurtLikeThis by @PaigeToonAuthor had me reaching for tissues twice! If you love second chance love stories, hot farmers, forbidden love and pain that hurts so good, this is for you. Send me a shower of🌼 if you want to read!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of my new look! I think it perfectly captures the essence of an impossible love story. You won’t be in for an easy ride but hopefully you’ll go on an emotional journey where you’ll feel it all: love, passion, grief, heartache, happiness & hope.

Starving children. That's the true price of the cost of living crisis #Enoughisenough
This dinner lady says she cries going into work - because she has to deny children school lunch.

It's a pretty first proof, but wait til you see the second!
Sharing a pretty pic of an early proof we sent out to authors cos soon we’ll have proofs with finished cover art! I can’t wait to share my new look with you - I think the designers at @centurybooksuk have nailed the emotional, impossible love story aspect perfectly! More soon…
