Are the new Reform UK administration at Essex really going to spend public money on a legal challenge against local government reform that has already been through lengthy consultation? Surely the focus should be improving services for residents. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just finished Fruit Fly by Josh Silver and I can’t stop thinking about it. Dark, uncomfortable and at times frustrating — but completely compelling. One of the most memorable books I’ve read recently. #BookSky Full review: fable.co/review/836bb...

I’ve extended beyond the houseplants and decided to pop some baskets on my Juliet balcony. Should look lovely when they spill over. 🤞🏻

Deeply disturbing to see the attack on an LGBT+ nightclub in Milton Keynes. Targeting a space of safety and belonging is an attack on a whole community — let’s call it what it is. Terrorism. This deserves far more coverage. There is no place for hate. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Poetic and quietly powerful, Seascraper by Benjamin Wood captures the pull between a hard, practical life and the desire for something more. fable.co/fabler/jj-26... #BookSky
Patrick Gale is a phenomenal storyteller. Love Lane is a beautifully written follow-up to A Place Called Winter — returning Harry Cane from the Canadian prairies to England, where family secrets and private pain quietly surface. Thoughtful, tender, and deeply human. fable.co/review/f4e16... #BookSky

A tender, beautifully written novel about first and queer love, identity and self-acceptance, and the quiet power of being truly seen for who you are. fable.co/fabler/jj-26... #BookSky

If you need some last minute inspiration, it's quite easy to dress up as Hotties In Art for World Book Day. Just look at this chap channeling the *very handsome* cover guy.
Not watched the #BritAwards for years – it got to the stage where I needed Wikipedia to understand who everyone was. But I’m genuinely delighted Olivia Dean swept the board. ‘Rein Me In’ and ‘Man I Need’ have been on my Apple Music repeat, which I’m choosing to believe keeps me officially “current”.

Binge watched the final four episodes on #Bridgerton S4 this morning. Loved!
This is a good result. I was seriously worried Reform were going to take this.
