Big fan of reading (literary fiction, historical fiction, memoirs, anything to do with circuses or lighthouses...), and going to gigs and the theatre.

- “Cat Lady” by Dawn O’Porter. I really enjoy her books. They’re always very funny and a little bit twisted.
- “Everyone in my family has killed someone” by Benjamin Stevenson. Hmm - this was ok, but I didn’t love it.
- “The Radleys” by Matt Haig. Anyone watched the TV show? Is it any good?

Some more scribbles of books I’ve read recently:
“Morgan is my Name” by @sophiekeetchauthor.bsky.social - a great, feminist Arthurian tale. I re-read this book recently, ready to start the second in the series “Le Fay” soon.

Happy #WorldBookDay! I was pleased to be asked for some author and book recommendations for our staff intranet. It was HARD whittling it down to just a few, but I recommended Fredrik Backman and Jojo Moyes as (two of) my favourite authors

Great article by Aida Hajro and Milda Žilinskaitė explaining how the UK's migration debate overlooks a key truth: labour demand drives immigration.

As part of my “draw what you’ve read” challenge, here’s the second book I read this year - The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell. I didn’t fancy drawing the actual front cover, so went for a portrait that inspired the main character instead.

Back in the day, I used to have 2 Twitter accounts - a personal 1 (for food, books, gigs, and ranting about Northern Rail) and a professional 1 (all things LUBS research related and general research comms). Where are we at with Bluesky? Who’s showing their personal side & who’s remaining corporate?

I've just finished writing our quarterly research comms report - a job I always enjoy doing as it allows me to take stock and look at what we've achieved over the last few months. Our researchers have produced some really engaging content, helping disseminate their findings to the wider public.
