For anyone who loves MM romance, really loves books, and who might not yet have read any of my novels, this is the place to start. Bear Among the Books has been my #1 best selling book since it first came out so give it a try either in paperback or KU.

Prescient words from his essay "The Magic of the Book" by the German-Swiss poet and novelist written in 1930!

Well, the Booker panel got it wrong again. They did a pretty good job and they’ve got 4 of my 6 choices on their shortlist but they missed the winner! I will be excoriating them at 8:25 am on Times Radio. (Though in truth they did a pretty good job and I love @wmarybeard).

On this episode of Instant Classics, we look at Homer's Odyssey in the work of Toni Morrison, William Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood, and Tennyson. We put no punches! See here: youtube.com/watch?v=w0wTUddU…

The Odyssey opens the door to a whole lot more ancient literature. Try some here on Instant Classics (from Virgil's Aeneid to one of Circe's pigs who didnt much fancy being turned back into a human). youtube.com/watch?v=KQ15HFfT…

Some Autumnal contentments: Hydrangeas fading from white to dusky pink. Sedums going full pink and tall grasses in their full feathered glory. #seasonalsunday

I'm in Exeter on 28 October, talking about the Secret Histories of Rome (not much on the big guys, more on the ordinary people, the graffiti and the street crime). Come along: fane.co.uk/mary-beard-ticket…

I am discussing the Roman orator Cicero with Catharine Edwards (author of a great new biography) on 17th October in Wimbledon. Come along (Cicero was the best jokester ever, according to Plutarch: no stuffed shirt!) tinyurl.com/4tddubcx
