Hawaii: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans review – a feather-filled thriller full of gods, gourds and ghosts This retelling of Captain Cook’s death and the merging of two cultures is a trove of miraculously preserved wonders – but beware of the shark-toothed club!

New exhibition, "Hawaii: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans" opens at the British Museum on 15 Jan. If any newspaper or magazine editors would like me to review it, please get in touch! I'm an award-winning historian of the age of European exploration.

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

Good luck lovely 💪 Selfishly, I hope you get through it cause I'm curious to hear your thoughts! I do think the first season is the scariest x

Read a brilliantly nerdy stat that the three Traitors were the only #CelebrityTraitors contestants whose ages were square numbers: Jonathan Ross - 64 (8x8), Alan Carr - 49 (7x7), Cat Burns - 25 (5x5)🤔

Country diary: Red-hot spindle sets the hedgerow ablaze | Nic Wilson Braughing, Hertfordshire: This fiery plant is one of the most startling sights of autumn – and it has a place in history in this county

If you join us in real time, you'll be able to interact and ask questions too.I LOVE that we're starting with these two writers - who's work is so different on the face of things. We're a group of authors supporting each other to find readers, and across our cohort there is a HUGE range of subject matter and genre, across both fiction and non-fiction. We are wholeheartedly embracing this variety. We’re posing a gentle challenge to the idea that readers like to stick to one genre or type of book - and Surekha and Karen's work really epitomises this. We know almost no one who reads like this - do you?#ReadingRecommendations #LiveChat #AuthorLife #AuthorChat #JoinUsView all comments
