In December 2023, one of my oldest, closest friends told me she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In April 2024, she told me it's metastatic.
For my birthday, Iβm asking for donations to the below charitiesβwhich have variously supported my incredible friend, Catherine, & her amazing family.

Three rows of three book covers chronicling my top nine reads of 2024
Once again did not meet my self-imposed reading goal for 2024. Hoping to squeeze in No. 34 before the bells.
In a year when we lost a literary hero, I uncovered new treasures (Sue Lynn Tan, Dolly Alderton) & revisited old favourites (Lindy West, Nora Ephron).
What was your favourite read of 2024?
