One of the best things about books and the book world is the friendships it’s brought my way… and one of the bestest is @antonhur.com. Just pure joy.

Currently reading. Amazingly written and very emotional... a little bit bleak for a first holiday read but will quite possibly be one of my books of the year #booksky

Had the absolute pleasure of being reunited with R.F. Kuang again last night as hosted her at a fabulous event in York. Talked #Katabasis, which is great, and much more. Will hopefully be reunited again for the next book next September 🥳 #books #rfkuang #booksky

The bins in the background. She paid millions to build a house but the bins are her view. Not warmed to the Real Housewives of London yet. This tickled me though.
