Tweet tweet thou tortoise

And so in June another succesful year of book club wraps up, and we face the bleak prospect of no Velvet cake for 3 months. Our exploration of social media at work is also coming to an end with Twitter as the last topic. Twitter allows short blog posts of up to 140 characters. My main use is to keep up developments in the Harry Potter universe on Mugglenet. This points to it's main attraction- its currency- as opposed to the indexing delay on Google searches. Plus they have great graphics! Anyway, as a wrap up, here are some imagined Tweets:

  • Come thou tortoise by Jessica Grant is a hilarious read, similar to A curious incident of the dog in the Night-time, 'tho a few found it quirky
  • Flavia's back in The weed that strings the hangman's bag by Alan Bradley (sequel to Sweetness at the bottom of the pie)
  • Excellent cake recipes in All cakes considered by Melissa Gray, which my son generously gifted Grandma
  • Me talk pretty one day by David Sedaris, wonky true family stories about an American living in France,
  • Bill Bryson is a sure thing with his humorous travel essays like Notes from a small island
  • Carl Hiaasen is bizarrely funny if you're feeling cranky about the horrible things people do to our environment
