this was January - much better than I had originally thought. best of the month has to be the very funny Big Swiss. i was shrieking and hollering! Disappoint Me and Jean were pretty solid fiction. what a gem was ‘to hell with poets’, a charming slice of Kazakh life #booksky #queerreads #peirenepress

On my doorstep as I get back from my silly little marathon. On the Greenwich Line. And there's me, a stone's throw from Greenwich.

I think one of my few (first???) Arabic reads.
