📚 Great Granny Webster | Caroline Blackwood
Dark, weird, viciously funny and completely bonkers. I loved how much it packed into such a tiny book. Thank you @viragopress for my copy.
📚 Sunstruck | William Rayfet Hunter
I really wanted to love this one. Sun, secrets, privilege and a gorgeous French villa… but unfortunately it just didn’t do it for me.
📚 Stations | Louise Kennedy
A really beautifully written story about friendship, obsession, love and the ways our younger selves can follow us around for years. Thank you @bloomsburypublishing and @netgalley for my e-arc.
🎧 On the Calculation of Volume I | Solvej Balle
Tara Selter is stuck reliving the same day over and over. Strange, hypnotic and quietly unsettling. Definitely one that makes you think.
🎧 Almost Life | Kiran Millwood Hargrave
A gorgeous, bittersweet story of love, missed chances and all the lives we might have lived. Emotional without tipping into too much.
📚 The Things We Never Say | Elizabeth Strout
Quiet, observant and full of the small moments that reveal so much about people. Strout is brilliant at exploring family, memory and the things we leave unsaid.
📚 Cherry | Rose Wilding
A dark and unsettling novel about friendship, power and violence. It’s gripping, atmospheric and full of secrets, with a sense of unease that builds throughout. Thank you @johnmurrayspress and @netgalley for my e-arc
📚 Snow Birds | Roisin Maguire
Cold-water swimming, unlikely friendships and a fight to protect the local seabirds. Thank you to Serpents Tail for my advance copy.
🎬 Pressure
Andrew Scott + D-Day + the weather determining the fate of the Allied invasion. Tense, atmospheric and a fascinating little slice of history.
📺 Ted Lasso
Cheesy? Absolutely. Ridiculously heartwarming? Also absolutely. And somehow that’s exactly why it works.

A Dahl granny and an Ab Fab aunty at one table sounds like the most chaotic family dinner ever 😂💛 Also I watched the final episode of Ted Lasso this evening and I can't with this show! 😭😭😭

Wasn’t Almost Life brilliant? I also love Ted Lasso even though it’s so cheesy. Adding Stations to my ever growing list!

Awww what a great recent selection. I loved Almost Life & The things we never say. I've only recently discovered Ted Lasso and just like you said so perfect. We watched Substance at the weekend and it was so messed up and gross that we had to watch a Ted Lasso episode after just to rebalance and restore faith in something wholesome and fun 🤣🧡
