The constant news on Musk, Zuckerberg political interferences reminded me of how brilliant Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood speaks to this time. She explains it perfectly in this interview with @chrispower.bsky.social

The last ep of #WorldBookClub this year was with Douglas Stuart, talking about 'Shuggie Bain' - the resilience of love, how it celebrates the city of Glasgow, and the struggles of navigating the world when it singles you out as different. A beautiful episode. #booksky

If you’re snowed in today, catch up with @BBCWBC with the brilliantly wry Anne Holt talking about her Christie inspired crime novel, 1,222. A train derails in the snow and passengers decamp to a remote hotel but what happens next..?
