We’re pretending the snow on the weekend didn’t happen, as we choose to ignore weather that displeases us. While we’re inside hiding from Mother Nature, here are a few things we’ll be watching. Monday, 7 April EastEnders (BBC1, 20:00-20:30) They’ve kept it pretty under wraps, but we’ve heard that Patsy Palmer’s back in Albert Square. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone. Bianca makes her triumphant return tonight, and we’re sure you’re all a-flutter at the potential......

Even on its quietest weeks, London is something of a happy haven for bibliophiles such as ourselves, though we may be doing nothing more than perusing one of the city’s many lovely bookshops. This week, however, we’re in a veritable book geek heaven, as the London literary scene goes all glittery, playing host to some major names and fantastic events, leaving us tongue-tied and weak at the knees. Do we gush? Very well then,......

Hang on to your TLSs. Literary London is a lioness roaring in a few weeks ahead of her regularly scheduled appearance in March. With both the London Word Festival and Jewish Book Week launching this week, we’ve got enough events in our diary to keep us busy until spring. Keep an eye on this space as we highlight our favourites from these festivals over the next couple of weeks. Monday: You want poetry? RADA’s......

Literary London is listless and lethargic these next few days – after back-to-back Burns Night and Australia Day outings this weekend, we can relate – yet there’s an explosion of midweek activity, leaving us paranoid that the powers-that-be are plotting to drive us crazy, leave us whimpering and indecisive, cursing our inability to be in two places at once. Yes, between this and the stock market madness, we’re a short......

And why not? What else is Tuesday good for... Events Around London: Tonight, authors Toby Litt, Hilary Mantel, and Patrick McGrath join forces to discuss the ghosts in their stories, and venture to explain why it is that we are all so fascinated by......

The Londonist Literary List appears every Tuesday. If you’d like to bring an event to our attention, please email londonistlit@gmail.com. Now that we are inching towards autumn, the book world seems to be emerging from its annual August slumber. And nowhere is this more evident than in the arena of new releases. Anything else happening in Literary London this week will undoubtedly be overshadowed by the windfall of new novels by the biggest names......

Have you tried your hand at the Literary London Quiz in today's Guardian? We did, and wow are we embarrassed by our ignorance. We scored a measly ten out of twenty! It starts off pretty easy (we got six out of the first seven questions correct) but then it gets really evil (What did William Cobbett, 19th-century radical and author of Rural Rides, call London?) and, to be honest, we panicked a little.
