Iโve just finished #Adrift by Will Dean, and MY GOD, he just gets better and better.
ADRIFT is an unbearably tense thriller, a crime waiting to happen - & a love letter to libraries.
Itโs brilliant and painful and written with so much heart.
His best book yet. Out Feb 26.

Adored this. Hedonistic, exquisite and dark as a New Orleans night.
THE SECRET HISTORY meets THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: โWe grew up together. Itโs no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.โ

One of many timely pieces by Wear and Resist. This one is a glow-in-the dark brooch - like the message, it shines in the darkness.

An elderly English man lovingly admires an absolutely gigantic onion.
I find old English men adoring their obscenely large produce strangely comforting in troubled times.

Sheโd Dance
ย
Sheโd dance like no one was watching
although she liked to think he was.
The kitchen was her grand ballroom;
her partner was a mop.
ย
Sheโd foxtrot among the pots and pans,
sheโd paso doble to the sink,
and as she swept across the floor,
her mind danced, too. Sheโd think
ย
of how heโd held her in his arms
at the Locarno and the Ritz -
whirling, waltzing, a world apart -
in the years before the kids,
ย
and longer still before the shadow
the doctor spotted on his lungs.
How dazzlingly they had danced!
How dizzyingly she had spun!
ย
Her neighbours saw her sometimes,
shuffling bent-backed to the shops.
But at home, sheโd dance like no one was watching
although she liked to think he was.
Brian Bilston
Todayโs poem is called โSheโd Danceโ.
