"I know I like to call something early - a wee bit premature one might say - but this WILL BE in my top 5 for 2026. Foolish to call it on the 3rd of January????"

"Reading a book like this, with Saunders explaining what these short stories mean, what the writer is doing and even how to write, makes me think.
At school I should've stopped dreaming of playing football for Leeds United, or cricket for England and spending all the crazy hours associated with that, and just mucked around writing ✍️
Oh, and maybe I shouldn't have dropped out of English at 15 😬"
