“It’s common to feel fond of your most recent project. It’s tender; it hasn’t built up its defences yet.” —Director Mike Newell (Four Weddings, Goblet of Fire, Donnie Brasco) nailing the creative process here, at a delightful preview of his new film The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which is like a hug on a Sunday afternoon. A cosy and charming film with heart. What a lovely day with my sister @amberhasnectar. ❤️
What a beautiful weekend ☀️ The sun is shining AT LAST — it’s the perfect weather for reading (maybe even outside!). And @alisoncbarrow has made my year by sending me the new novel by one of my favourite authors... TRANSCRIPTION by Kate Atkinson is publishing in September 🎉 (If you swipe to the second photo, this is the hideous-but-happy pic I sent my dad; we buddy read Life After Life and A God in Ruins together, so if anyone’s going to understand how excited and DELIGHTED I am to have an advance copy, it’s my dad!) 📚
Dear weather today in the UK, From every S.A.D. sufferer — thank you. Sincerely. Thank god!!!! Felt like a weight lifted. Even my sleepy housecat stuck his nose out of the open windows, mainlining fresh air. 🙌🌸☀️ #britishspringtime
This week I posted a photo of Artie 🐈 and a photo of Marley 🐕 so it’s only right I post a picture of my third child 📘😆 #holdbackthestars is currently in the 2 for £7 deal on Amazon... so if you’re buying something else to read and stick this in your basket, you’ll get two paperbacks for an utter bargain 📚📚 £3.50 each — Happy Friday!
I post relatively few pictures of the little tinker, let me have this one pleeeeeeeeease? 🙏 #catonaflyingcarpet @artieflufkin 🐈
Tonight delivered my favourite type of sky! 🌇 “The sky takes on the baby blues and pinks of candy floss, as though the day knows it has one last moment in which to shine, and exerts itself in a display of colour before the inevitable fade to night.” —#TheLightBetweenUs 🌇🌃 #sunsetinthecity #londonist ❤️
I’m a husk. But ‘tis complete. 🌈 The final edit of THE LIGHT BETWEEN US is done, dusted, and delivered. My editor has said it’s good enough, it’s ready. - The next time I’ll see these words, it will be laid out like a book (and then the real proofreading begins). The uncorrected text will go out in advance proof copies to bloggers, authors and reviewers (...forgive any overuse of the word “just” before I scribble them allllllll out during the proofreading). - So for now, while this book belongs only to me — and has been read by relatively few people (less than ten, perhaps) — I’m going to take this moment to say: I’m proud. I’m proud of this. A novel about light and time, art and science, friendship and love... and a diverse group of female scientists attempting time travel, from chapter one. I wrote the type of story I’d like to read — I’m so grateful my publisher wants other people to read it, too. 🇬🇧 August 9th - #thelightbetweenus 🌓 #bitemotional #sobloodytired - (And if you’re wondering about the glass prisms...? #timetravel) ✨
