That Ekitike is some lad.

Booked for hoying the ball away, scores (probably) the winning goal, gets second yellow for taking his shirt off.

Tremendous.

Frame by frame account of a slow motion car crash for the Democrats.

The authors have spoken to many of the players on both sides and delivered a comprehensive picture. Occasionally lacks for a variety in tone or pacing but does a job.

Electric Spark by Frances Wilson

Wilson brilliantly captures how Spark wove biography into her fiction and fiction into her biography.

This is not a linear life story. Rather, Wilson circles her subject in a way which is often compelling, sometimes bewildering.

Loved this interview with Warren Ellis interview (about 30 mins in).

So interesting on music and the creative process.

Remain jealous in my bones of anyone who can summon a tune.

Spook Street by Mick Herron

In a pattern of reading these after watching the adaptation on telly but before watching the next one.

What I can tell you? Masterful story telling, the grimy face of London, spies and intrigue…. If not already, get involved.
