I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

I just finished listening, I thought they were excellent 👌🏼
Another addition to my TBR
I love this book, it is exquisitely written.
A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.
Will get this framed. Thrilled that my piece honouring Madame Pelicot is the cover.
Good news! Please share!

If you need me I’ll be in front of the fire with a cup of tea and Andrew Miller’s entire back catalogue.

Go go go!
