We have a winner folks! Terry Freedman guessed correctly and won the 1 Year Paid Subscription: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Congrats Terry!

So lovely to be on this ride with you Mr. Troy! (Love hearing that this is your pen name. I also love the Mr.) I think I’ve been with Lamb from day one and it’s thrilling to hear how you’ve grown with these characters over the past year. Excited for your wrap party, I’ll be there with bells on. 👏

Yay! I'll be glad to have you there! The challenge will be getting Europe, America and Australia all together at the same time. 🩷

On impulse, I joined your Goodreads book club, which is probably a mistake, lol. I already have too many books on my reading pile, I'm about to be crushed under it!

haha Careful there, Book Jenga can be a killer. Don't worry, you can just read the posts and check them off your list. 😉 Thanks Martine!

I can’t remember how I first found your newsletter, but I’m so very glad that I did! Your posts are inspiring, eloquent, educational, and often over my intellectual capacity 😂

And thank you for the Two Birds mention! Michele and I are so pleased to be working with you and I hope the synergies continue to grow.

Love this Troy! The poster too is gorgeous, were you able to get one? i’m excited to get to your audio version because I know I have missed chapters and because I’m in LA. I’m always driving so I need things to listen to! Congrats on everything, this is very exciting!

Oh good, should have them all up in the next week or two.

They do a good job on the posters every year. This year's looks a little like a baby Kong turned sideways? I'm not sure if they sell the posters officially, I've never seen them but one or two shops around town seem to have some old ones available for purchase, maybe they are knock-offs? Thanks D! 💜

Glad to have you along for the ride, Jeffrey - and right back at you. Delightful to be a member of the English Republic of Letters. 🩷

You and your husband are so fortunate to live in beautiful Sitges, so close to Barcelona, one of my favorite cities in Europe. I have relatives and friends who live there. The art scene is intoxicating. I adore Barrio Gótico!

Yes we are very fortunate to have had this opportunity, although we may in fact be moving on to Italy next year! My husband is Italian, born in Rome, and we’ve always wanted to give it a go. Thanks Dan!

Yes, they always do a good job - they take their horror very seriously, including a Zombie Walk parade through town. 🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

Been here for a lovely long time but it's a lovely thing to read this (re)introduction.

I also learnt some things here I didn't know, Troy!

I don't have any thoughts about the original of FORD KNOWS ... Not that I can think of, anyway. I hope you reveal all at some point.
