Belatedly, Face with Tears of Joy is having a launch party! I’ll be at Linlithgow’s best bookshop, Far From the Madding Crowd, at 6.30pm on Wednesday October 15th for drinks, snacks, chat, and maybe even a reading from the book. The details are here, on Facebook, and you can get your complimentary ticket at the Madding Crowd website.
Congratulations to Mike Poteet, Red, Claire Little and Barbara Matton, winners of the Face with Tears of Joy audio book giveaway! Their names were picked at random from the set of all entrants who replied to the original post about the competition. Thank you all for taking part!

It has been a busy few weeks! Face with Tears of Joy was published back on the 1st of July in the US and on the 17th everywhere else. I’ve been lucky enough to talk and write about the book in a number of different venues, and for the book itself to be reviewed in a variety of places. Here’s a quick round-up of it all.
It’s publication day again! Face with Tears of Joy: A Natural History of Emoji is published today in the UK and other non-US territories.
You can order a copy from Norton, Amazon, Waterstones, Bookshop.org, Blackwell’s or Topping & Company. (If you’re ever in Linlithgow, Scotland, drop into my local bookshop, Far From the Madding Crowd — I’ll try to sign a few copies for them.)
