The best thing about the ridiculous Trump balloon isn't the protest itself, its how much its pissing off the right people. The same people who routinely say people are too offended these days, are losing their shit, over a floating bag of air.

Take home message: Be kind. Read more books. Spend time with your family. Crack jokes. Go to the beach. Hug your dog. Tell that special person you love them. These are the things these kids wished they could've done more. The rest is details. Oh... and eat ice-cream. /End

Anti-homeless architecture is just about one of the most depraved, hateful, unsympathetic things our species has ever created, and truly makes me sick every time I see examples of it.

I like these posters. Here's a deal: tweet me a selfie in front of a Reservoir 13 poster and I'll send you a copy of the book. If you can get thirteen people in the selfie, I'll send you my entire backlist. xitter.cf/WaterstonesPicc/status…

Spotted on the tube returns with a great big poster for Jon McGregor's truly extraordinary Reservoir 13. Head up to the first floor and ask our fiction experts about this dazzling novel. #recommended

We did that on purpose. It's all part of our new strategy to make people tweet us more. It has nothing to do with typos whatsoever. [Writes memo to double check spelling and grammar for the next print run]

I am mesmerised by #BigCats. Anyone who's reading Varjak Paw with a class should show it to them - it's like the Seven Skills in action! bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05q599…

One of my all-time favourites: to ‘lick’ something ‘into shape’ originated in the medieval belief that bear cubs are born as formless lumps that need to be licked into bear shape by their mother.

Last night our fence blew down. Tim has just bought a new one (6 x 6) from Homebase. If you live anywhere near Harringay Passage & could give him a hand carrying it back to the shop, he has just got to Umfreville Road. N4. #longshot

Alright, I'm mad about this new YT policy, so if you're a booktuber with under 1000 subs/under 4000 hours watch time, reply with your channel and I'll try and watch AS MUCH of your content as I can to help you get to 4000 hours before next month. RTs appreciated. 📚✊💪
