Just found a few Margaret Atwood quotes in a notebook from when I saw her speak in 2019. “I was a model citizen. I was brainwashed by the Brownies.” “I’m not Canada’s biggest export. Canada’s biggest export is toilet paper.” 💙📚

My latest Guardian Books cartoon.

Title: Attracting new customers to our bookshop with rebranded bookshelves.
Image: In a bookshop four customers (a young person, a music fan, a beachgoer and a horse) browse the shelves. The sections are labelled TikTok, HipHop, FlipFlop and ClipClop.

First trade review is up today for THE ONES WHO COME BACK HUNGRY and ZOMG 😍💀😍💀

"An atmospheric, deeply contemplative tale...Berube mines the chill factor of a wintry, icy landscape for maximum tension, creating scenes that have both a sense of claustrophobia and endless, unknowanle terror; nowhere is safe." Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

My latest cartoon for Guardian Books. #books#ghost

Panel 1: A man finds a ghost reading a book and says "I thought you’d died?". The ghost replies "My Life has ended but I cannot pass over to the spirit realm when so much remains undone."

Panel 2: The man says "You mean all those books you bought and never got around to reading?". The ghost turns to look at bookshelves piled high with books and says "It won’t take long. There are fewer distractions when you’re dead."

Panel 3:
A few months later...
The man says "Is it me, or are the piles getting bigger?" 
(there are indeed more books than previously)
"My Library card still works!" says the Ghost happily "But once I’ve read these I’ll start on the ones in the attic."
