The amazing Sunstruck by William Rayfet Hunter is going to be released tomorrow!

It's one of the best books I've read and I'll keep saying it - if it isn't a classic in 50+ years it'll be a damn shame. @netgalley.bsky.social

@jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social is an absolute legend and Look Up, Handsome is a must read for the festive season. I'll post a review soon but safe to say I loved it, it's every bit as gorgeous as Riccardo Bessa's cover.

Not me taking over from my dad as Grinch

In my opinion:
Doctor Who was meh (tho that's on Moffat as per - definitely not Ncuti)

Wallace & Gromit was dull af

Gavin & Stacey was crap (tho I'm not a fan of old people moaning they can't be bigots anymore, and "plots" of just old references)

Also thank god for Ncuti, Nicola and Steph de Whalley's (Anita) acting for making that worth it at all
