I'm recommending Mexikid to anyone who's an immigrant or has immigrant family (it's billed as middle-grade but I honestly laughed my ass off)!

A version of this piece was originally published in Flaming Hydra, an art collective I'm proud to be a part of. Then I let David loose to edit as he does so...

It's my favourite time of the month (StoryGraph wrap up season!)
September started fast with a mixture of cosy crime/romance to clear my brain, had a few bangers in there (recommend all of those 5⭐️ ones) plus a bunch of reads for the purpose of having something to talk to my kid about ✌️

And I realised I forgot to post July! Much more of a mixed bag, with a few fun ones in there.
Closing in on 100 books this year already 😱 All that time I haven't been able to spend writing (basically life's too busy and I'm too tired), I've spent reading instead

August round-up! Had a fucking brilliant summer of reading. I'm already missing the week I spent with the 5 star trio of Hilary Tamar #3, Glorious Tuga and Sandwich.
Plus 3 old faves reread, a swerve into sci-fi and one thoroughly aggravating dud that's gone straight into the charity shop pile.
