1/4 Ever since her incredible debut book No Logo in 2000 [arguably one of the greatest non-fiction books ever written], Naomi Klein has had pride of place on my bookshelf.

1/4 Another recent language favourite comes from the really quite wonderful Dr. Rob Drummond. The book is focused on, well, how we 'talk'. Do you have an accent? Does it make you sound educated, powerful, or perhaps a bit dim and poor.

1/4 The second [and far more engaging in my opinion] book by the incredible Guy Deutscher.

'*Does language reflect the culture of a society?
*Is our mother-tongue a lens through which we perceive the world?
*Can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts?

1/4 The amount I read has diminished since 2023's relocation, though I am addressing that. Thankfully, my college has entrusted me to teach predominantly A Level English Language. For a language and linguistics geek, this is a blessing.

My recent reading reflects my work!
