For Real | Alexis Hall
post image

So I‘ve been reading the bonus material in my all time favourite Alexis Hall book and my gods the snark is on point! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 So I went online trying to find a picture of this amazing human being, but all I found was not amazing snark and subversion brilliance on his/hers/their website! Still don‘t have a face to go with the brilliance, but I am in love.

CarolynM A few years ago I spent some time trying to work out who he really is following the few clues scattered through his blog. Complete waste of effort, of course, and I feel a bit bad about it because he‘s entitled to his privacy, but like you I would love to see his face. 3w
julesG @CarolynM right? Let's give him his privacy. This way he can write more books for us to enjoy. 😉 3w
CarolynM @julesG Yeah, I get the feeling being unmasked would inhibit his writing. 3w

GingerAntics @CarolynM @julesG that is a fair point. He need to be able to sit and write without people gathering at the window or getting excited in a coffee shop because she went out to get some fresh air. I do need more Alexis Hall books, so it‘s all good. I‘m adoring the fact that they call themselves “Hall” all the time. I can‘t help laughing. 3w
GingerAntics @CarolynM @julesG ALEXIS HALL IS A BLOODY PEN NAME!!! Oh my god!!! Alexis Hall could be ANYONE!!! 3w
julesG Yes. You didn't know? He makes it quite clear in his author biographies. He always writes it's because he likes his day job so much. 3w
GingerAntics @julesG now that I know, it seems so obvious.. but no, that didn‘t click for me. So any person just sitting in southeast England could secretly be Alexis Hall. Well, damn. Now, I want to just go to southeast England, go sit in a bunch of coffee and shops and stuff, and then look at everyone, imagining each of them as Alexis Hall. 🤣😂🤣 3w
CarolynM @julesG And check out the staff lists at all the schools looking for physics/maths teachers… Oh yeah, privacy 🥴 (edited) 3w
julesG @CarolynM we're not Sherlocking him out. I think I could narrow it down to a few possible candidates (yes, did my fair share of stalking too), but I'm sure discovery would change his writing. Let's leave him be. 😉 3w
GingerAntics @julesG @CarolynM I totally agree! I‘m just going to be looking at every British person with good writing skills thinking… are YOU Alexis Hall? lol 3w

Norse Mythology | Neil Gaiman
post image

Yup.... Neil and all his glory... He counts for both my #septembowie and #septemberlibrary17 photos today. For the former - he truly is my hero. His versatility and imagination, asking with the fact that he seems like such a truly remarkable fellow.... He is a hero of mine. For the latter - he is my favorite author. Without a doubt.

I so wish I'd been able to read this book before attending a local talk by her. #feminism #CanLit #brilliance

Lindy She's giving a lecture in Edmonton this Thursday. I've heard her speak before so I'm really looking forward to hearing more. (Only 35 pages left to go in the book.) 8y
dixi_e Oh, jealous! I loved the one I went to but I had literally JUST picked up the book from the library so I had not idea what to ask. She had commented briefly to the MC about the purposeful nature of feminism in the book and I wished I'd been able to ask more. I'm sure your night will be fabulous. 8y

To anyone not reading O'Neill's latest or previous works, RUN 🏃 and pick up one of her books. She is truly gifted with a talent for crafting magical narratives and weaving wonders with her words. Hands down my favourite author. #CanLit #Brilliance #currentlyreading

Pronging a little bedtime reading. With Wodehouse, it's a romp before you even turn the page. #brilliance
