So grateful for these AMAZING quotes from superstar

I know choosing books can be bewildering, but pick anything by these 💫💫💫 and you can't go wrong.
My first grown-up non-fiction, published July 4th by Melville House in the UK and US. A brief, thrilling ride through the idea that there is no ‘true self’; we are myriad, and malleable, and that that is cause not for despair, but for hope.
This has been a riot - a brilliant fantasy adventure with 'vampirs' and 'werwolves'. Huge fun, wrapped up in Piers Torday's characteristically lovely prose.
Nice work from Katya Balen 🇪🇺 and Bloomsbury Kids & YA UK. Very much looking forward to this. And the book. (Ball shown for scale. And because it was there.)
We're online now with Anthony McGowan - come and hear all about 'Dog of the Deadlands' in our 9+ shortlist Coombe Hill Juniors Rock the Boat 🌊
Almost impossible to describe how great it feels to get into Wisden, albeit as a lowly writer rather than cricketer. And the launch dinner for the almanack at Lords was amazing: so many legends. A night I'll never forget. Just wish I hadn't gushed quite so much at David Gower
A career highlight - privileged to write the books of the year feature for Wisden Almanack. Almost impossible to pick the 'best', but I could pick my favourite - Scott Oliver's Sticky Dogs and Stardust - a wonderful account of the world stars who played league cricket.
A mildly amusing game - randomly turn on BBC Radio 4 extra and try to guess the year (or even the decade) of the current programme. 'Say the Word' with Frank Delaney on now. I guessed 1997. Mrs McG thought 1987. 2001. But interesting how dated everything sounds. Dated and better.
