Hi Emma, totally agree! There are a few UK news feeds that you can follow and I've found a few journos, such as Lewis Goodall and Kay Burley. Welcome, so far I've found here very positive

Hi there and welcome. I'm finding my feet here too but enjoying things so far, much better than to-x-ic. I'm also a journalist but book lover too

I've always loved Linda Colley's books, especially Captives. Though I have to admit to have struggled a bit with The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh. But will check this out... after I've finished Failed State (half way through), which I am very much enjoying Sam. A great and important read, thank you.

Ditto Michaela. And you're not the only one by a long shot. Welcome. I'm still feeling my way round but for now the vibes are all positive
