Look what I found in my local little free library! Not only a book I've wanted to read for ages but also this Pudsey headband for Children in Need. I was actually on my way to the shop to get my daughter one for tomorrow. Thank you to the beautiful person who donated it.

#WorldKindnessDay is a chance to focus on those empathetic acts that can lead to a more compassionate society.
By bringing people with shared values together regardless of their differences, public #Libraries act as spaces where kindness can flourish.

I'm not going to lie, Flesh was one of my least favouite books of the year. Although, it also doesn't surprise me that it went on to win the Booker Prize. If I hate a book it usually ends up on the Booker Prize list somewhere🤣What are everyone's thoughts on the winner? #BookerPrize #Booksky

At a time when politics feels bleak and frustrating, I wrote a book on empathy and politics to inject much needed hope into the conversation and offer some ideas for change.
Out soon with @yalebooks.bsky.social @yalepress.bsky.social and available for preorder now 📚

Sat down last night to watch some mindless TV & was looking forward to the new Gogglebox. But what the hell is with all the posh people? The 2 Glasgow fellas aside the new additions are awful. Come on Channel 4, it's bad enough this country is over represented on TV by the elite&privileged few.

The bestselling author’s sixth novel is far from perfect, but this journey into the underworld is delivered with heretical glee

My current read is the fantastic, Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead. It's epic in scale and the kind of book I want to rush back home to read.
What was the last book that did this to you?

Struggling with reading any fiction at the moment so I've been sticking with my nonfiction & this, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi is a must read.

As usual I've been juggling reading multiple books this week but since it's half term I've not actually finished anything Saraswati by Gurnaik Johal is one I'm making great progress with.

May was a huge reading month,partly helped by having a week off & partly because I started quite a few of these last month.
My favourites would have to be The Book of Disappearance and I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman.

Just before discovering the little free library at Abney Hall we came across this mini waterfall. It was so peaceful. I wish I's had a book to sit & read & listen to the water

So far, May's reading has been decidedly meh! Not wowed by any - a few, including Chopping Onions on My Heart and Mary Barton were pretty good. I'm waiting for that knock out work.

Did a little happy dance when I stumbled on one of Susan Abulhawa's novels I've not read in Oxfam today. Mornings in Jenin and Against the Loveless World were just brilliant so I have high hopes for this.
