The 2 Glasgow fellas aside the new additions are awful. Come on Channel 4, it's bad enough this country is over represented on TV by the elite&privileged few.

What was the last book that did this to you?

I still have this one to read. It's been on my bookshelves for ages!

A new favourite of mine is this book, The Treasures by Harriet Evans. One for lovers of the big family saga. Full review below:

The 2nd was the debut novel The Original Daughter by Jemimah Wei, a new & distinctive voice in contemporary literature

This was 1 of 2 reviews that went up this week, The Spirit of the Rainforest by Dr Rose Vasquez Espinoza. It reminded me all over again why the Amazon needs protecting at all costs #AmazonRainforest #booksky #nonfiction
07.06.2025 17:38 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0May was a huge reading month,partly helped by having a week off & partly because I started quite a few of these last month.
My favourites would have to be The Book of Disappearance and I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman.

I absolutely would recommend. Against the Loveless World to ease them in would be my suggestion.

Did a little happy dance when I stumbled on one of Susan Abulhawa's novels I've not read in Oxfam today. Mornings in Jenin and Against the Loveless World were just brilliant so I have high hopes for this.

Considering we've had half -term in April, I managed to read far more than I was expecting. Admittedly, some of them were pretty short, snappy reads I could fit in around trips to the park.

Today's reading spot by the lake. I'm very much enjoying Theft by Abdulrazak Gurnah.
What is everyone else up to today?

Helloββmy book Underland has been adapted into a feature film & the world premiere is at Tribeca in June.
It's taken 4.5 yearsββ& the teamβs created something astonishing.
A documentary that's groundbreaking in form, voice & tone.
I hope you might see it one day.
