📖 Just finished Wellness by Nathan Hill. Wow, what a terrific novel - funny AND heartbreaking. I loved it. Thanks to @RobbieTimes for first alerting me to it. Highly recommend! 📚 #WellnessNovel #NathanHill #BookTwitter #book @picadorbooks

Excited to share the news that I’ve joined the Board of Dancers’ Career Development.🎉 I'm proud to support a charity that supports dancers through every stage of their career - on stage and beyond. @rbo_org @Rambertdance @ENBallet @northernballet @BRB #OneDanceUK @EquityUK

Superlative commentary @andNickMullins on an epic final @rolandgarros Utterly compelling #Tennis. Bravo #Alcaraz 👏🎾

Loved The Flying Dutchman at @operahollandpk, with wonderful performances led by Paul Carey Jones & @elliedennis17, fantastic playing by @CityLdnSinfonia & torrential rain offstage. 👏to @JamesOHP. 🙏 #opera #london #wagner #theflyingdutchman

My first time at @operahollandpk - and appropriately, bearing in mind the appalling weather, it’s to see The Flying Dutchman

"Why?" That's what the brilliant @lynnbaba said was the most effective question in journalism, when we talked at the @hayfestival. A great conversation which ranged over her career & new book A Little Art Education. Thanks to the #festival team & everyone who came. #books

Still smiling after hosting @RevRichardColes & @theJeremyVine at the @hayfestival. 😂🎤 There were stories, laughter & impersonations. It felt like a moderating a wonderfully British podcast that had somehow escaped into real life. Thanks to them & those who came. 👏

Loved talking to @Robert___Harris about his career, his latest novel #Precipice & the screen adaptations of his bestsellers - at the @hayfestival. Thanks to the sell-out crowd of 1700 people who joined us, the #festival team & @najmafinlay @HutchHeinemann 📚

Still buzzing from last night's event hosting Koen Kessels, Music Director of the @rbo_org 🎼🩰 Fascinating insights into leadership and how he works with dancers & choreographers. Huge thanks to everyone who came & made it so special. #RoyalBallet #arts

🎥 Thrilled to host a live-streamed conversation with Christopher Wheeldon at @rbo_org on Ballet to Broadway: Wheeldon Works — exploring his journey from classical ballet to @OlivierAwards winner for #MJTheMusical and beyond. #ChristopherWheeldon #RoyalOperaHouse #ballet

On my way to @oxfordlitfest to talk to the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage about all things poetry - and much more besides. Maybe see you there .. #oxfordliteraryfestival #poetry oxfordliteraryfestival.org/literature-eve…

Have you seen our March Macaw picks? 🪙 Ghost Tide @JimCockinAuthor ⚓ Compass and Blade by Rachel Greenlaw Two epic & magical ocean-faring adventures perfect for early teens parrotstreet.com/collections/bo… #teenbookclub

Forget The Scream. It was interesting to see another side to Edvard Munch at the press preview for the 1st exhibition of his portraits in the UK @NPGLondon. I liked the earlier works, like this self-portrait👇more than the later ones. #Munch #art 🎨

Great to be back @hayfestival this year. I’m hosting an event with the wonderful duo @RevRichardColes and @theJeremyVine on 30 May, 7pm. And with the equally wonderful @lynnbaba and @Zandra_Rhodes on 1 June, 4pm. Hope to see you there 📚 #HayFestival2025

Bit late to it but I loved @hishamjmatar’s brilliantly written novel My Friends and I can’t recommend it enough. I know the @TheBookerPrizes judges had a tough job last year but it’s a shame they couldn’t find room for it on the shortlist. @VikingBooksUK @rcwlitagency #MyFriends

25 highlights from the Oskar Reinhart collection have arrived @TheCourtauld and most have never left Switzerland before. Exquisite jewels from Goya, Cezanne and Monet among others. I loved this painting of plants and flowers by #renoir @SwissEmbassyUK

Congratulations to ALL the winners at the #bestsellerawards tonight including @richardosman @adeleparks @susanlewisbooks @LizPichon - astonishing book sales from one and all. I loved presenting the show & meeting so many old friends - and making new ones. @BestsellerAwrds

You’d almost think we planned it …

I’m delighted to be presenting the @BestsellerAwrds tonight, the only book awards based on sales data - from Nielsen @bookdata. So expect a room full of bestselling authors @Ham_Yard. 👏👏👏 Thanks to @NielsenBook & @bolognabookplus for organising such a 5⭐️evening. 📚🏆

I broke the news of Jakub Hrusa’s appointment as Music Director @ROH_London on @BBCr4today. No one @BBCNews had heard of him. He’s a ⭐️ & now conducting #Jenufa. Amazing. You can hear every note the @rbo_org orchestra plays, yet it sounds like a sublime, cohesive whole. Loved it.
