This absolute beauty by my friend Yvette Thomas is available now in select bookshops and online. Featuring her Caselberg International Prize winning poem, ‘Not What You Wanted’, Ten Thousand Nights is a thoughtful, finely wrought collection.

From my newsletter this week. So many sentences I wanted to highlight in Chelsea Girls, but this one felt most prescient

So thrilled to attend the launch of my friend Rachel Paris’ new novel, See How They Fall last night. Billed as Succession meets Big Little Lies, this is a debut to watch.

Lil snippet from my newsletter, where I talk about what I’ve read this month, and get all fan-girly over Lauren Groff.

Hey #booksky which #litfic should I read next: Arcadia, by Lauren Groff or All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews?

Is there anything this woman can’t make interesting? I’ve read her books on alcoholic writers, a meandering river, the loneliness of cities, and now gardening. Not my forte, as my withering house plants can attest, but I think I’d read anything Olivia Laing writes

Just finished Immediate Family, by Ashley Nelson Levy. Takes the form of a long address from the narrator to the brother her family adopted. The story is mostly summary, which I enjoyed but I’m sure many readers would hate. Tell me #booksky, have you read this #litfic and what did you think?
