Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but itβs also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted toβ¦

I need to read some more translated texts - so interesting to see how language shapes how we see the world!
The discussion around the process of translating the book into English is fascinating nation.cymru/culture/one-...
#NowReading Yn Y TΕ· Hwn by SiΓ’n Northey. I'll have to get my hands on the translation at some point because the Welsh version is the best book I've read for a long time waleslitexchange.org/books/yn-y-t... #booksky

I can recommend it. Just need to be feeling steely when you start it!
Oooh, haven't heard of her but Reformatory sounds unreal. Added to my reading list - thank you!
The structure and narrative is very clever, but it is a brutal read, as it should be given the topic. I'll definitely give the second half a go when I have it in me. Hope you enjoy it when you get there!
Had a go at reading The Underground Railroad, which is rightly a very heavy read. It's something I'm going to have to come back to another time www.thenationalbookreview.com/features/201... #BookSky
Rili cΕ΅l bod S4C yn hybu diwylliant amgen fel beicio mynydd, doedd e ddim yn naws y darlledwr wrth i mi dyfu i fyny.
Very cool that S4C is sharing content around alternative culture like MTB, didn't see any of this in the Welsh language growing up (subtitles available) m.youtube.com/watch?v=ryIU...
Absolutely loved Mordew by Alex Pheby - probably the best fantasy book I've read. Really disappointed in the follow up, Malarkoi though. Felt much more focused on world building than characterisation www.epicindie.net/bookreviews/... #booksky

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over Β£1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.
