Having had a sneak preview, I can confirm that @adamjfarrer.bsky.social is on top form with his new essay collection Broken Biscuits and Other Male Failures - now available for pre-order. Oh, and if you haven't read his debut memoir Cold Fish Soup, you're missing an absolute treat!
Because an essay collection isn’t the easiest thing to convey in a single post, here's a thread outlining each of the essays, which are 'by turns tender, disarmingly honest and achingly funny' (@tawseefkhan.bsky.social) Pre-order it now if you like.

Caly recommends... Karen Powell's incredibly moving and marvellous reimagining of the lives of the Bronte sisters. This is a vividly wild dive into the most intimate and untold moments of the creativity and survival of the Bronte siblings.

Currently reading Fifteen Wild Decembers by @karenpowellwrites.bsky.social and captivated by the powerful voice of its narrator, Emily Brontë. Such an intimate, insightful interpretation of her life.
