Read SUPPORTING ACT by Agnes Lidbeck (tr. Nichola Smalley) over the weekend.

It had me thinking how do we, as children, rely on our mother’s touch, but mirror this in other relationships later in life

Come see me live in conversation with Agnes

I also try and answer who’s going to win the Premier League and Women’s Super League (spoiler: I don’t know)

And I wonder if autumn has a smell?! I think it does and I associate it with books!

Really enjoying this from Sasha Debevec-McKenney @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

I feel like I’m walking through New York.

The poem based on the REAL HOUSEWIVES intros is a particular favourite.
