Feels like the end of more than a life. Perhaps the most unifying American. And the best kind of American Dream. A passionate supporter of literacy as she understood how books are ladders out of poverty and despair. Her ‘Imagination Library’ still mails free books every month to thousands of kids who need them. Two hundred million books have been sent via this. What a legacy. Not to mention some of the best songs ever written. I never met her but she read and talked such lovely words about a book I wrote and that fact means more than anything that has ever happened in my career. Loved her. Some wanted to turn her into a joke but the joke was always on them. Toughest cookie out there. Thank you. Loved her, yes. And when December comes around listen to ‘Hard Candy Christmas’ as it is an amazing song. Sweet dreams, Dolly. X

Just made a donation to @mindcharity Last week I had posted getting people to nominate someone in their life to feature in the sequel to The Midnight Library. 3,131 names of people were received. I still have no idea who I will choose. But for now I am honouring my promise and donating a pound for every one of those comments. Thank you! And I definitely don’t need any more names.
