My difficult fourth novel – or why it’s OK not to love every book you write I feel like I've broken some kind of writers' secret code of conduct with this one...

All authors have books they've written that they don't love. This is about one of mine: sarramanning.substack.com/p/my-difficu...

One of my favourite books of last year, Three Days In June by Anne Tyler, is currently Β£1.99 for Kindle. It immediately made me want to read every single word that she'd ever written. amzn.to/4aTfkcF

Been writing novels for over twenty years now and still don’t understand the strange alchemy that knits a book together. In my head, I had three disparate plot points and an over-riding ethos the book hinges on. Then a fifteen minute walk brought them all together for a dramatic denouement.

Last day to get these 99p for kindle stunners!

Im in that stage of planning a novel where I’m making a detailed Pinterest board, saving many bookmarks, buying quite a lot of books and watching Below Deck. All for research, except I also do all those things when I’m not planning a novel. #trusttheprocess #booksky

I really enjoyed reading this. I think the Dorothy Parker writes F Scott Fitzgerald was bang on the money.

@stuckinabook.bsky.social I love those Pan we’re going to make this cover inappropriately sexy editions of the classics from the 60’s. I have this one.

Argy-bargy is a very underrated phrase. I feel like we should use it more.

I've just cooked for the first time in an air fryer. Took much longer than expected but not having to wear a shower cap on my head so my hair doesn't get smelly while I fry bacon is priceless.

Which means it's a whole year since F1 became about 73% of my entire personality. Be very interesting to watch our fave, now having indepth knowledge of the 2025 season.

Only two more weeks until our fave! I watched Glitter & Gold but I fear it might not have the high octane drama and machismo that you want.

How many times have I done that with books? *eyes duplicate copy of A Far Cry From Kensington next to her on the desk* Too many to count! So pleased you enjoyed the podcast, I remember having a lot of fun (and some nerves) recording it.

You're the second friend to be having a spectacularly bad travel day but she turned it around and I'm willing the universe to do the same for you.
