Having the soundtrack of films on record was such an amazing thing as kids, The Rescuers was a big favourite. Mark Kermode talked about it in a litfest session recently, including the disappointment of realising soundtracks didn’t usually have the dialogue

I know Handsworth well. I love it. The Soho Road is one of the most vibrant streets in the world. I was attached to the library there for a writing project last year and I wrote a whole chunk about it in my book Hope And Glory. Read it if you get a chance

You’ve no time to catch escaping chocolate. Yr man proved as much. Also re pricing structure can I add my voice to the protest (it is now one) and also say they’ve been frugal with the chocolate lately to the point of baldness in parts

I am one of the authors whom Meta stole (sorry, ‘scraped’) from, by using their books to train Libgen. So I’m biased. But this from @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social is👌
