Today is #InternationalArchivesDay so we're going to share the story one of our favourite collections from the Orkney Archive. It's a collection of very special, handmade books which were created by three young #Orkney girls in the 1860s. An #Archive 🧵

Which books have you read because of a TikTok recommendation so far? ow.ly/VzWq50Oum1T
Melissa🐝Gilmour retweeted
I know a lot of folks who read my books can’t afford to buy them, or prefer to borrow, and might feel bad about it. I was just notified of my public lending royalties this period, and they will pay 4 entire months rent. So thank you, to all of you!🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰

When I see how rarely cultural orgs post online (for good reason, there's too much shit to do), I'd like to see an experiment where somebody employs a terminally online person who knows their topic who's allowed to focus on pure posting
I just reviewed Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall. #MortalFollies #NetGalley netgalley.co.uk/book/286728/re…
@YarraLibraries How did I miss this? 😝
Melissa🐝Gilmour retweeted
Bruce Petty was a political cartooning legend and amazingly also a very nice person.
@quicunquevult @KirkusReviews @DelReyBooks “Hall continues to prove himself one of the best romance writers working today.” They’re not wrong. Huzzah 🎉
