Just finished this extremely well written novel based on a true life murder case in the 1920s. It was gripping, emotional and the research was perfectly balanced with the storytelling. Will definitely be seeking out #LittleDeaths for my next read. @emmaflint.bsky.social #OtherWomen #BookSky 💙📚

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now"

Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

I’ve just finished #Adrift by Will Dean, and MY GOD, he just gets better and better. ADRIFT is an unbearably tense thriller, a crime waiting to happen - & a love letter to libraries. It’s brilliant and painful and written with so much heart. His best book yet. Out Feb 26.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Today’s poem is called ‘She’d Dance’.

She’d Dance

She’d dance like no one was watching
although she liked to think he was.
The kitchen was her grand ballroom;
her partner was a mop.

She’d foxtrot among the pots and pans,
she’d paso doble to the sink,
and as she swept across the floor,
her mind danced, too. She’d think

of how he’d held her in his arms
at the Locarno and the Ritz -
whirling, waltzing, a world apart -
in the years before the kids,

and longer still before the shadow
the doctor spotted on his lungs.
How dazzlingly they had danced!
How dizzyingly she had spun!

Her neighbours saw her sometimes,
shuffling bent-backed to the shops.
But at home, she’d dance like no one was watching
although she liked to think he was.

For hundreds (thousands) of years, reading and writing was considered too radical and complex for the masses. Slaves were prohibited from both. Books are regularly banned and burned. Why? Because of their power to inform, educate, change minds, galvanise, organise, overthrow. Let’s go!

She was too old for the care system. There was no support. She became instantly homeless. If she hadn’t found a friend whose mum was willing to put her up, she’d have been immediately on the streets. We send too many people to prison. Prison is a terrible, stupid response to most crime.
