"Friends are angels in human form. The connection from them to you, and you to them is simply miraculous and life enhancing.
I'm glad it cannot be commodified, it's too precious to put a price on."

Image of actor Lupita Nyong’o on a poster of "A Quiet Place: Day One" - she looks terrified and has her hands clasped across her mouth with a wide-eyed look on her gaunt face. Text across the image reads "I don't like horror movies, so why did I watch this one? And why have I watched a fair few lately? What's going on? What exactly is a horror film? Depends who you are, I think."

"Well, I didn’t expect this.
I absolutely loved this movie for so many reasons.

Image is the front cover of Yaa Gyasi's book Home Going (silhouettes of two women at the base of the image with plants growing upwards from them around the edges of the cover) with the following opening sentences from the newsletter: "Home Going (2016), by Yaa Gyasi is a double person recommendation that I’m passing on to you. What a book! It is a slim 300 pages that starts with this Akan proverb (translated to English): “The family is like the forest: if you are outside it is dense; if you are inside you see that each tree has its own position.”
