Late to the party, but I'm breaking my mid-edit social media exile to declare @mserinkelly.bsky.social's House of Mirrors a straight up BANGER. If you've read The Poison Tree - and even if you haven't! Though you should - it's an absolute treat. Biba! Karen! Rex! Classic EK twists! 10/10 no notes 🏠🪞

This has been shared many times, but is worth sharing again. It is reflective, clear-sighted, focused on the ordinary and the matter of fact, on what it is possible to perhaps encompass. And is immensely moving as a result.

Many years ago when I was an editor I went to my boss and asked why we were allowing ourselves to become so reliant on Amazon...I suggested that publishers could mutually invest in a central bookselling website where orders were sent direct to relevant hubs and the amount we'd save because...

Today I learned it's a bad idea to try to walk a dog who's never seen an escalator before onto an escalator. On the plus side, everyone in John Lewis got to enjoy the sight of me hurling myself back down the first few steps once I realised the lead was extending but the dog staying still

Hugely coveting this from Toast but the thought of spending £350 on a dressing gown makes me want to throw up. If you know of a cheaper (but not CHEAP cheap) alternative that's the same velvety bohemian gorgeousness please share, I will love you forever
