Strange, wonderful feeling reading with goose-pimples of admiration @rosarankingee’s third adult novel, forbidden love story, anatomy of an anxious generation & a subtle, brilliant take-down of the big corporations: amazon.co.uk/My-Only-Boy-Ros…

How 2 loving & courageous women have a baby: @rosarankingee writes in last week’s @guardianreview about her and & @leahwawro ‘s way to motherhood. theguardian.com/society/2026…

All this discourse about the British state paying the “unproductive” to leave London for poorer cities, amid economic and social collapse, keeps bringing me back to ‘Dreamland’ by @rosarankingee - spectacular, stomach-churning, and painfully plausible about where that all ends.

Can't help thinking of the Localisation Act in @rosarankingee's novel "Dreamland"

Politicians have for too long taken towns for granted and focused on cities.
That changes today.
Now we’re putting local people in charge.
And for the first time, towns will be backed by government to succeed for the long term.
This is how 👇🧵

BIG NEWS :)

We will be republishing #letterfromnewyork by #Helenehanff later this year. It was originally aired on @BBCWomansHour @BBCRadio4 in the 1980s. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers the original broadcasts!

This was so, so fun to do. The whole @YBooked collection is a joy, and thanks to producer Dale for being a resident Google to fill in my mind blanks and mispronunciations 👯♀️
It’s @YBooked day - this is a pure comfort listen for a chilly Monday. @rosarankingee on I Capture The Castle, Louise Rennison and finding the secret swears in Lord Of The Rings. Find us wherever you get your podcasts!

Just read Dreamland by @rosarankingee for the second time before I have to return it to the library. Have also bought three copies of it because I need to share it with my friends and can't be parted from my own copy. I simply can't get over this book.

Did you know that all our books are sent out wrapped in tissue paper and a silk ribbon with a matching bookmark tucked inside for good measure. This is #AppointmentWithVenus by #JerrardTickell - with a fabulous brand new intro by @rosarankingee

Oh good grief. I finished Dreamland by @rosarankingee a week ago and it is still playing on my mind. Brilliantly taut writing. With each day that passes it feels less and less like fiction. @ScribnerUK

Just finished Dreamland by @rosarankingee; while I had to stop reading it before bed (it gave me nightmares!) it’s an incredibly compelling book set in a dystopian near-future where it’s always hot & the poor have been shipped out of London. Frighteningly familiar #BookLoversDay – at Lewes, England
We have a children's book coming out next year! My ex @harrietalida & I wrote it, taking each line in turn, nearly a decade ago in Paris, and a year or so ago, we found it again. Immensely grateful to @NimbusPub for publishing & I love the illustrations by @andreablinick so much
I’ve been working hard this summer on a book that I am SO excited about, and I can finally share the details! Serge the Snail Without a Shell, will be on bookshelves next spring! Written by @harrietalida and @rosarankingee, illustrated by me, and published by @NimbusPub 🍄 🐌 🐚
