It's no good, I can't keep quiet about this a minute longer and I need to squeeze in the news while I head off on my antipodean adventure from whence I will try and write the occasional blog post, but will definitely be putting pictures and a few words over on Instagram (recently described as the Radio 3 of social media) so please do follow and comment there if you want to. The link is here but the pictures will also appear on the sidebar over here <<<<<<<<<
Jacob's Room is Full of Books, with its glorious cover, will be published on October 5th. Obviously I am excited because, like Howards End is on the Landing, it is another book from Susan Hill about books and reading and, having read it, I know many of you are going to love it. Susan has written a memoir of her reading year and you will emerge with a fantastic reading list. Susan and I have regular e mail contact and bookish talk is top of the agenda once we've moaned about the world a bit, she keeps me up to speed on the world of publishing and always ready with an opinion or a reading suggestion (and I reciprocate). Many of you will remember that is was Susan who published the Tinker's memoir Bugle Boy (and who gave him that name, which he loved) and our friendship continued.
Yes, yes, that's all very lovely but really, the bit I am most excited about is this because it has never happened before...
Look who Jacob's Room is Full of Books is dedicated to...
