Just been reading “Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident” to my seven-year-old and while it’s a cliché, it’s also true to say that storytelling to a kid is as magical as life can ever get.
An absolute privilege. 😍

This has been in my mind these last days
The 1st half - scientific & authoritarian, suggesting acceptability in the notion of labelling
Then the shift in the 2nd half to a personal narrative that is profoundly sad
We are all immigrants. Where we rest our heads is home

Sometimes I flip ahead just to make sure a character survives and then spend the next 200 pages pretending I’m still emotionally at risk. I can't enjoy the drama unless I’ve lowkey spoiled it for myself.
