I just heard the devastating news about the death of Madeleine Wickham / Sophie Kinsella from brain cancer at the age of 55. This is the perfect time to reread her last novella "What Does It Feel Like?" which is a short but five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read. Here's my review: 💙📚 app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/2729...

Watching "Batch from Scratch at Christmas" and hearing Joe Swash say with a straight face that about £500 is "a lot of money" when he probably spends that amount on a scented candle for Stacey is kind of taking me out of the narrative a bit!

It's been a smashing series of #CelebrityTraitors but from the reaction of the people who lost I realised that it didn't really matter who won because they had no personal stakes and the money was always going to go to well-deserving charity, so it almost felt a bit anti-climactic.

I've just finished binging The Newsreader series 3 on the BBC iPlayer and I cheered. It ends on the fall of the Berlin Wall which is doubly emotional for me but I just love Helen and Dale - so flawed and so human. Best character is of course powerhouse Noellene. 😍

It's bad enough that My5 makes me press Force Stop after every episode because it becomes unresponsive, it really should have a way of indicating which episodes I've watched already. I was just half way through an episode of A&E: After Dark before I noticed I've seen it already!
