*** I& #39;M STARTING A CHAT SHOW ***

No. seriously.

At times like this we need extraordinary measures to keep ourselves sane, give ourselves some time off from the news, and give ourselves some community. This is the best idea I have right now...

Every weeknight starting next Monday night at 8pm in the @ROSBookClub I& #39;ll be coming live from my kitchen, talking books and, hopefully, talking to guests from their kitchens about the books from their bookshelves that they think you should be reading at the moment.

If you can& #39;t be there at 8 the show will be archived after as a post but, of course, you won& #39;t be able to ask live questions and participate!

I& #39;m calling it Shelf Analysis.

Fancy it?

Monday from 8, live from my kitchen, here:

The demo worked! I interviewed a houseplant...

Catch me every weeknight live from 8 talking from my house to an author in theirs.
