Hello from ADHD me who was just idly wondering when the paperback edition of It’s Not a Bloody Trend was coming out (I’ve been away) and blow me, it’s TODAY! With a lovely new quote from Bryony Gordon and everything! Thank you so much to Andrew and everyone at Robinson and Millie at United Agents!

Loved #billionairesbunker: a show about a bunch of super rich who hide out in an exclusive bunker just as war seems to be looming above ground. But that’s only the start of all the drama… (Go in knowing nothing else, trust me!) So clever and twisted and fun. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #ElRefugioAtomico

Have you watched #MarvelZombies yet? It’s a really fun watch. Just like #whatif, it’s full of action and emotion and looks beautiful. The great voice cast also means that many of Marvel’s underserved characters get room to play. 🦸🏻‍♀️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

#FrenchLover just dropped on Netflix and it looks at an unlikely romance between a huge film star and the woman he meets randomly in a restaurant. It’s gorgeous and fun and lovely and quirky and emotional and you should watch it. Embrace those subtitles. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #OmarSy #NinaRives #SaraGiraudeau

Chineke, not #DoctorWho speaking my language! You could tell this ep meant a lot to Ncuti. To root this ep in African storytelling, to build an empathetic villain hurt by the lack of recognition, and demonstrate how we pass these stories on in our safe spaces, hit the spot. I felt that. Great ep 👏🏾

The brilliant #WomenVsHollywood is currently at 194 (pretty impressive!) reviews. But can we get it to 200? If you've read @helenlohara.bsky.social's book, why not go leave a review...

Tonight’s question: which are your fav fictional stories within a fictional story? Coz I am as obsessed with the Simon and Baz fanfic story within Fangirl as I am the story itself. And it got me thinking about Station Eleven and how badly I wanted to read the actual comic within that.

The illustrated cover for the book Fangirl shows a blond man looking up at a brunette woman who’s typing away on a laptop.

Foster kid (6yo) expressed such an interest in the planet at his last stay. What does it look like inside? Is there a picture? What does it look like from space? I'm thinking I should get him a book with loads of pictures for him to look at. Any suggestions for a great book that would do this?

Had a gorgeous walk in Brighton at the weekend and, while my friend commented on the sorry state of this tall building, I pondered on how like a giant sword it looked. It just needs a giant to come retrieve it like Excalibur, I thought. Then my head went to Pacific Rim…

The opening sequence in World War Z really is a bloody masterpiece. The tension building in the traffic jam. The speed at which it escalates. The bid for escape. The toy counting down as the human turns zombie. Just brilliant. And then just when you think they’re safe… asthma.

The real hero of #DieHard is the naked woman who gets dragged out by a terrorist at the start. Her distraction allows John to escape. Without her, there is no film, no saving of people, no taking down of the bad guys.

I’d assumed #MyOldAss was going to be a funny, probably a bit rude take that bordered on trippy and weird. What it actually is is so much more. A really touching and charming tale of learning to appreciate what you have when you have it. And with stunning scenery to boot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
