So we're all just having the same thoughts and failing, huh!
So many of these are on my TBR too. I thought Seven Days in June was insanely good and I'm not a big contemporary romance fan.

Why is ANYONE still using Twitter?
In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?

Fantasy rec: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty.
Set in the Indian Ocean where a found family of retired swashbuckling pirates take off on an adventure to track down a crew members' missing daughter. Incredible world building and gripping storytelling! 🏴

According to YouGov, 40% of Britons have not read or listened to a book in the past year. Of the remainder, 22% read 1-5 books per year and 4% (me) read more than 50 books.
If that's you, please stop doomscrolling and open a book. Let's each recommend a title.

Rejoining Erasmus is a real opportunity to start repairing the disastrous Conservative Brexit deal.
However it must be a first step on a clear roadmap to a closer relationship with Europe. Starting with negotiating a bespoke UK-EU customs union, and committing to a youth mobility scheme.
