Had a blast chatting with you guys!
In the digital age, when you catch feelings for somebody, who among us goes ‘I really like that person’ and then [does nothing]. No, you are in there like MI5, says @tanyasweeney on her debut novel, Esther Is Now Following You 👇 ebx.sh/TCD8ip

If you were thinking of maybe pre-ordering ESTHER (always mega helpful for authors), the lovely people at Waterstones are offering 25% off pre-orders until Friday. Order online or via the app and my publishers might just like me a little more. waterstones.com/book/esther-…

My God. Each pair of shoes is a child's life.
Today in Utrecht a grim milestone was marked; for the 2nd year in a row, a Dutch activist group laid out children’s shoes & read aloud the names & ages of the children who have been killed by the Israelis in Gaza. Today they read 19k names. It took almost 6 hours.

When home is no longer enough, where are women supposed to go? Catherine Breillat’s “Last Summer” and Miranda July’s “All Fours” explore the state of midlife as a coming-into-age identity crisis, @sophieGG writes: theatlantic.com/culture/arch…

Imagine going to the club in 1970 to hang with your friends and a band you’ve never heard of called Kraftwerk is playing and they ruin your night by inventing techno music
