A chance to own some beauty and offer much needed support to our colleagues in Beirut.
This is a lovely, beautiful thing.
@JackieMorrisArt is auctioning a signed, embellished copy of #TheSilentUnwinding, to raise funds for the Beirut Bookstore Outreach.
The lot also features a velvet bookmark made by @autumnrosewell.

From Thursday 27 August the @britishmuseum will be open again. You'll need to book online (dead simple).. then come along, to find plenty to wonder at, to enjoy, to argue about and debate. All for free. That is where I shall be heading!
We’re delighted to announce that the Museum will be reopening on Thursday 27 August – we can’t wait to welcome you back! 🏛🎉
Find out more about reopening in this thread, or visit our website for more information: ow.ly/4w1k30r37Zr

I could not be happier that @MaazaMengiste's outstanding novel, The Shadow King, has made it onto this year's @TheBookerPrizes longlist. This review in the @nytimesbooks does justice to its multi-layered, lyrical, brutal brilliance. Congratulations Maaza nytimes.com/2019/09/26/books…
What a fascinating #longlist. Fantastic discoveries here. 5 I haven’t read and now look forward to. The others are terrific. 2 of them are great.
"Unplanned, our final selection encompasses both seasoned favourites and debut talents—a truly satisfying outcome"—this year's 13-strong @TheBookerPrizes longlist sees titles from @HilaryMantel, Anne Tyler, @kileyreid and Avni Doshi take their places: bit.ly/2P0SmW1
