@storytellersinc Have you done any Shirley Jackson? “We Have Always Lived in a Castle” is spooky, even though no ghosts appear.

I’m not usually one to attack the #BBC but if I wake up tomorrow and they haven’t laid on 15 hours of sports for me to watch there will be hell to pay.

@theguyliner @guardian After I finished gasping when he mansplained her order to the waiter, I thought, “Can’t wait to see what @theguyliner makes of this.”

We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman. A woman helps her best friend battling cancer in the final month of her life. As I've been there and got the t-shirt, so maybe this hit too close to home, but there were too many things that I thought, "That would never happen."

"Breakwater" by Katriona Chapman. A graphic novel about the workers of a Brighton cinema. This is a beautifully told story touching on lost ambition, mental health, and the drudgery of work. A great example of a genre I adore that doesn't get nearly enough love.

"The Truths We Hold" by Kamala Harris. Proving once and for all that I have a book for every occasion, after Biden dropped out and she got the nod, I unearthed this book from one of my many TBR piles. She's an inspiration. (For fans of democracy and the future.)

"The Coin" by Yasmin Zaher. For fans of "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" (not exactly the same story, but same vibes) A rich Palestinian woman navigates life in New York City while she battles money problems and mental health issues while looking for love and fulfilment.
