If every book was like @lexnoteboom.bsky.social’s “The Man With a Thousand Faces,” I’d sell my TV.

392 pages, devoured breathlessly.

This is why I read.
Why are the Dutch so tall??

This book by @bethlewis.bsky.social is incredible and packaged most beautifully. The gold foil is hard to see, and this picture doesn’t do it justice!

‘While women in their 50s are dismissed as hags, bags or crones, men get to be silver foxes. Suddenly I realised why women try so hard to fend off signs of ageing.’
