Just finished Fruit Fly by Josh Silver and I can’t stop thinking about it. Dark, uncomfortable and at times frustrating — but completely compelling. One of the most memorable books I’ve read recently. #BookSky Full review: fable.co/review/836bb...

I’ve extended beyond the houseplants and decided to pop some baskets on my Juliet balcony. Should look lovely when they spill over. 🤞🏻

Deeply disturbing to see the attack on an LGBT+ nightclub in Milton Keynes. Targeting a space of safety and belonging is an attack on a whole community — let’s call it what it is. Terrorism. This deserves far more coverage. There is no place for hate. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Poetic and quietly powerful, Seascraper by Benjamin Wood captures the pull between a hard, practical life and the desire for something more. fable.co/fabler/jj-26... #BookSky

Patrick Gale is a phenomenal storyteller. Love Lane is a beautifully written follow-up to A Place Called Winter — returning Harry Cane from the Canadian prairies to England, where family secrets and private pain quietly surface. Thoughtful, tender, and deeply human. fable.co/review/f4e16... #BookSky

James Sharp @jamessharp87.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

A Foghorn Echoes by Danny Ramadan is a reflective and engaging read that gently explores forbidden love, loss and what it means to find your place in the world. It is quietly moving without feeling heavy, with characters and moments that stay with you. fable.co/fabler/jj-26... #BookSky

James Sharp @jamessharp87.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

A tender, beautifully written novel about first and queer love, identity and self-acceptance, and the quiet power of being truly seen for who you are. fable.co/fabler/jj-26... #BookSky

Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin was an interesting read for me. I liked several of the characters and its snapshot of 1970s San Francisco, but I struggled with the rhythm. However, I can see why it has a devoted following. fable.co/review/21c08... #BookSky

If you need some last minute inspiration, it's quite easy to dress up as Hotties In Art for World Book Day. Just look at this chap channeling the *very handsome* cover guy.

Not watched the #BritAwards for years – it got to the stage where I needed Wikipedia to understand who everyone was. But I’m genuinely delighted Olivia Dean swept the board. ‘Rein Me In’ and ‘Man I Need’ have been on my Apple Music repeat, which I’m choosing to believe keeps me officially “current”.

While in London today I popped into the V&A to see Michelangelo’s David — and I was genuinely blown away by the scale of it. It’s extraordinary to think this was carved over 500 years ago, yet still feels so alive.

At its heart, My Friends is about the friendships we have when we are young and still figuring out who we are. The friends who believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself. The ones who quietly become your anchor. fable.co/review/e8de4... #BookSky

Just finished Burying Jericho by @whusseyauthor.bsky.social. Another brilliant, twisty instalment in the Scott Jericho series, with a gripping mystery, strong sense of place, and plenty of unexpected turns. Full review ➡️ www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Actually love the result! Very me. See what sort of caricature CHAT GPT makes of you, based on what it knows about your career! All you do is go to ChatGPT, put in a photo of you, and use this prompt: “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me."

I know you shouldn’t compare, but after watching The Traitors UK, the Irish version feels a bit low-rent. You can definitely tell the budget wasn’t there. That said, I think Siobhan is a fabulous choice as host.

How’s your pair hangin’? The best place to find the answer is in the shower. A steamy shower helps the nuts to relax, creating prime conditions to feel around for anything out of the ordinary - like a lump, swelling or pain. Learn how to get to know your nuts movember.com/KnowThyNuts.

I haven’t watched the #GBBO since the departure of Mel, Sue and Mary - but with Nigella joining I may have to tune in again.

Been a Labour member since I was 21. It pains me to say it, but I’ve lost hope. If Labour want to win me back, they need to be clear: tax the rich and redistribute wealth. Until then, the @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social feel like the only credible counter to Reform UK.
