Anyone who enjoyed BBC's #TheBookThatChangedMyLife , will love #OurLivesInBooks. It's full of the stories of people just like you and me and how books have influenced their lives. It's not by Royal Appointment like the TV programme, but you can't have everything!

Whist cooking, i laughed so hard at the track Grafting Haddock in the George by #HalfManHalfBiscuit that I was attacked by the hot water tap that poured tepid water on my hand. The band are from the Wirral, near Liverpool, so we know what that was about. I demand justice

Loved @PaulHeatonSolo night last night. A wonderful songwriter and his generosity at bringing other talented singers to the fore, the latest being the amazing @riannedowney_ , is often underestimated. It's like the way Victoria Wood gave great lines to other actors

I was lucky enough to get an advance read of this wonderful book. It's @RachelDelahaye at her finest and you should definitely read it
Out today. Last Hope Highway is a MG adventure about finding home. It's about rewilding and restoring what we have, not trashing and abandoning it. It's a love letter to Earth with a space cowboy vibe, with added burgers, robots and beaches. I'm so proud of it. @TroikaBooks
I'm hugely proud to say that #OurLivesInBooks is out today! It is a collection of writing by 59 authors, some well-known, some writing here for the first time, but all of whom wanted to share their love of reading and the books that influenced their lives. Link in comments
#GreatestHitsRadio playing yesterday's 7.30 sports report was a weird groundhog day moment. Then it was followed by "Let's Go Round Again"...
#Happy100th to national treasure Sir David Attenborough. For inspiring generations to take an interest in the natural world, there is only one man who deserves to be today's no.1 trend. Thank you, Sir David
