My #FiveStarFlashback this week is from December '23, the absolutely wonderful #FrankAndRed by @manvsbaby.bsky.social. Probably the most uplifting novel I've ever read. An ideal stocking-filler if you're struggling for ideas 😂

Reading For Leisure review: tinyurl.com/yz5d8rza
Ah! Thank you SO much. You’ve made my day! ❤️
Isn’t it? ❤️
Look, here’s the thing.. I am NEVER going to be an Olympic gold medalist, I’ll never be a millionaire, my footprint will not be the first on Mars. But this ain’t bad. ❤️
It's almost that time of year when my wife sits next to me on the sofa and glances at me like I'm a piece of shit. Because of what Alan Rickman did to Emma Thompson in a fictional film, released over 20 years ago.
‘Frank and Red’ is finally out in paperback in the US today!! 🇺🇸
(America, please treat my grumpy old bugger and relentless little boy kindly.. they’re fragile.) 💙📚 #booksky

5 🌟 to Frank & Red by @manvsbaby.bsky.social

Well, how bloody lovely! Thank you so much. Honoured to be your first review. x
Controversial.. but does listening to an audiobook REALLY count as reading??
Well.. depends. If you’re listening to Frank and Red.. which for the next 24hrs has got a bunch of money off.. then yes.
(If it’s ANY other book..
then still yes. Course it does, don’t be a book snob). #audiobooks
You have just one hour left to get Frank and Red for less than a quid.. ⏰ Offer ends at midnight!!

Pavement blackboard, The Book Vault in white writing at the top (we will do a more arty thing when time allows!), and a quote - Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. A quote from a character in Frank and Red, by Matt Coyne.
We have a new toy! Inaugural quote from @manvsbaby.bsky.social, Frank & Red.

…Made the mistake of offering to sell one of my little boy’s switch games on ebay. The money’s not even bloody cleared yet!?
⏰ It’s FATHERS DAY in just a few days! 🔥 Will he want one of these books? ..probably not. But he didn’t get you that foot spa you wanted either, did he?? So, bollocks to him.
Thank you Lonny!
Thank you!

Just finished reading ‘Frank & Red’ by Matt Coyne a.k.a. Man Vs Baby. Wonderful heartwarming story. I cried. I laughed. I cried some more. Very much recommended.

A quick Thank you, thank you, thank you! For all the messages and love and support for The Only Monster.
It jumped 36000% on publication day yesterday. I don’t think that’s even a number?? Your support is, as ever, massively appreciated. Matt x

Happy World Book Day. x

If you only read one book ever again (not sure why you would, but if you do) then make it this one. I laughed, I hurt deeply, I cried, I fell in love with the characters who are so relatable and unapologetically human. Possibly the best book I've ever read. This will stick. @manvsbaby.bsky.social
Thank you! so glad you enjoyed it. x
