For years I've wanted to read All Quiet on the Western Front during Remembrance day and finally I'm reading this devastating novel
It's hard to read but also hard to turn away from knowing what all those innocent boys and men went through

The Green surge is very real.
The danger for Labour?
Their remaining support stop thinking that the Greens can’t win locally, and end up seeing them as the best bet to defeat the Tories and Reform.
See: Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly.

Lili is Crying by Helene Bessette is a hidden gem of a book
The unique writing style and prose are exceptional and the rhythm, the repetition, the way it flows feels like it's made to be read aloud
Exploring a toxic/enmeshed mother/daughter relationship had me completely gripped

My world will never be the same again...
1700 pages done, I'm completely bereft & wondering what I'm going to do now!
I already miss Elena & Lila
What a masterful work on female friendship, complex and toxic relationships, and the struggle of breaking away from poverty
