Last year I wrote a comment piece for The Bookseller asking a question I’d been circling for a long time:
Am I working class enough?
It ended up being one of their top ten most-read comment articles of 2025, which I’m still quietly amazed by.

Unlike 2025, 2026 isn't January gaslighting anyone with hopes of things being better this year.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Bought a new toilet cistern online. Am being bombarded with emails suggesting I buy more. Like I'm some kind of cistern collector. That and requests for reviews - effectively disposed of post-Christmas excesses, five stars?

A quick pre-Christmas thank you to everyone who’s read, shared, or quietly stuck with my books this year. It really does mean more than I can say.
There’s something new on the way in May.
If this image feels familiar, that’s intentional.
More soon.
