Is ‘Waist Deep’ The Quintessential Millennial Novel We’ve Been Waiting For?

Is ‘Waist Deep’ The Quintessential Millennial Novel We’ve Been Waiting For?

Linea Maja Ernst’s debut book was an instant bestseller in Denmark. Now, following its UK release, we sat down with the writer to speak queerness, polyamory and what it means to be a “real adult”.

"Once upon a witch..." ✨Happy book birthday to our Summer Choice Midden Witch by Fiona Benson! A fabulist masterpiece, full of feminism and folklore, herbals and hedge-magic. 🪻Fiona writes with such incantatory beauty about the natural world and digs in Durham and Exeter archives to highlight the harrowing mistreatment of women as "witches" throughout history. Join the Poetry Book Society today for your copy in the Summer #bookbox at poetrybooks.co.uk.

Sebastian Croft, best known for playing Ben Hope in Netflix's hit show Heartstopper, is narrating the audiobook for 'Open, Heaven', the debut novel by acclaimed poet Seán Hewitt. Sebastian's performance in Heartstopper meant his understanding of the themes of youth, love, and self-discovery made him the perfect choice. His narration brings an added depth and authenticity to the audiobook that we hope listeners will find deeply moving. Preorder the audiobook: bit.ly/3ER5jyZ
