  1. THE LAST PAGE SELLS THE NEXT BOOK: How to write endings that satisfiy readers

    Career Authors
    There’s a saying in publishing: First page sells the book, last page sells the next book. Which means you need to take as much care with the last page as the first page. Here are some tips from USA TODAY bestselling author and literary agent Paula Munier on how to win loyal readers when you write The End.

  2. The distance between #Dublin and #London is only 464 km (288 miles), #asthecrowflies. The two capital cities are in a Common Travel Area.

    But as #GretaThunberg showed today, it's about a million miles in politics.

    In Dublin, #PresidentConnolly regards the #genocide in #Gaza as a horror. But in London, the #CityOfLondonPolice treat opposition to genocide as #Terrorism. So #Greta went from a presidential welcome in #Ireland to arrest in #England / #UK.

  3. Calling all those who signed up for the Baa Baa Brighouse Book Club - it's time for the big reveal!

    Introducing 'A Tale of Two Cities', a 100g skein of hand dyed 100% British Bluefaced Leicester 4 ply high twist yarn. There are two skeins in each box.

    Included in the box is a copy of the Penguin Clothbound Classic edition of the book and a tin of Victorian style tea.

    Boxes are already on their way. Happy knitting!

  5. One of the things I really like about #ATaleOfTwoCities is that #Dickens doesn’t pull any punches in describing how awful the aristocracy was to the poor, but he also doesn’t condone the Reign of Terror, either. That’s the sort of nuance that seems hard to accomplish. Read a book recentlyish which built on the #ScarletPimpernel, and it failed to call any condemnation down on the former rulers of France. Made me angry. (Not it’s only flaw, btw.)

  7. It Is Time.

    The grudge match you've all been waiting for: the thrilling conclusion to A Tale of Two Cities, where, presumably, London and Paris finally square off to determine who shall be the winner.

  9. Last night I was at a bar, where I struck up conversation with a person who said she was a humanities college professor. She was knitting through our trivia game, and I made a joke about #MadameDefarge. SHE DIDN’T KNOW THE REFERENCE. How do you get to be a professor IN THE HUMANITIES and not have read #CharlesDickens and #ATaleOfTwoCities?

  10. Turns out that quite a lot can happen in Two Cities, which is why Charles Dickens needed so much book to tell his Tale of them.

    The revolution continues apace in just a minute over on

  15. Coming up in half an hour, Lucy will be continuing with #ATaleOfTwoCities by #CharlesDickens. We're a few streams in already and things are moving along! Also it's funny? If you studied it in school, that whole side might've gone missing. Don't believe me? That's fair.
    Also have a picture of Joey in a grump.
