Thank you for this list! The Guest and The Truants were both fast-paced reads - perfect for Autumn reading. Iām looking forward to reading your newsletters on both x
That's great! I agree, I love a fast-paced read :) You won't have to wait too long as The Truants piece is hopefully going up very soon! Thanks for reading and commenting :)
Thanks for the shoutout!! Your original Paddington is sooooo sweet. I loved all the links here and Iām excited to click around -- especially to that 1984 retelling.
Wow, Kate! Jam packed reading and viewing list. Quite a few texts Iād like to look at, including the television show you mention. Re literary journals it is a sad demise. I couldnāt believe that The Believer needed a fundraising campaign to stay afloat (of Zadie Smith and Nick Hornby origins) and I recently learned that The New Yorker relies on philanthropic funding. I mean some of that is ok - itās good people want to fund these magazines but a shame thatās what it takes. I guess if governments recognised the value in the arts for humanity, they might find more. If an economist could frame it in economic output (which I imagine they could), perhaps they would listen...
Thanks for something to keep me busy this November š Happy to hear you are feeling the creative juices!
Thanks, Kate! I know, there was a lot there this month! š I hadn't realised how much until I posted today. Keep you busy on these dark nights, anyway š Regarding lit journals and funding, I know, it's such a shame. I think it's one reason this platform exists and proves that there are readers out there wanting to find quality writing.

Great round up, thanks Kate. And belated happy Halloween :) š
Thanks Victoria, same to you! Have a good weekend š
Couldnāt quite agree with you re. Annika, but I do re. The Split! š Loved it.
It was sooooo good, wasn't it? I did shed a few tears though (such a wuss) but the writing and acting were both superb.

You are welcome, Haley! Paddington is lovely, isn't he?! I will never part with him š
Another packed reflection. Wonderful summary about October and am looking forward to reading in November too.
Thanks :š
