My younger daughter, who is two, enjoys watching Bluey and Peppa Pig. But she calls them Bingo and George. For her, the shows are about the younger siblings. This is why representation and diversity of voices matter: we look for ourselves in stories.

So the #education secretary has announced that 2026 will be the UK’s National Year of Reading. If only there were a book coming out this October about putting the joy and curiosity back into #reading 🤔. (Still got a couple of ARCs if you’d like to see one)

Went to see @gunsnroses at Wembley last night. My first big stadium gig at the ripe old age of 43. This morning I keep reflecting on the resonance of those lines from Civil War: You can’t trust freedom when it’s not in your hands/ When everybody’s fighting for the promised land.

Wow, would you look at this? A visitor to my blog has created an interactive map showing the titles rated highest on Goodreads for each country. Extraordinary. (Apparently ATONEMENT tops the bill for the UK)

Such an honour to have Tessa Hadley as a guest on #rlfcollected. I particularly love what she says about her early struggles to write - so inspiring for all of us who have battled to realise the work we feel compelled to make

Honoured to have an essay in this collection, published today in the UK, alongside work by such household names as Michael Morpurgo, Madeleine Thien, William Boyd and Nikesh Shukla. Many of my most powerful exchanges about books have involved messages from young people.

"To write stories is to be distrustful. To read is to engage with the story. Every story tells of a ghost. At the end, the centre of the story is a Black Hole, but it isn’t black, and it isn’t dark. In the best case, it might gleam." Judith Hermann, tr. Katy Derbyshire.

A year ago today, I met legendary Togolese explorer Tété-Michel Kpomassie in person for the first time. This summer, I am travelling to Greenland with him. Life really is extraordinary

Another episode of #RLFCollected takes flight today. Alex Wong tells host @JuliaCopus what it’s like to write poems as someone who cannot visualise imagery.

It was a joy to interview my friend, Laura Barnett, for #RLFCollected. Laura speaks with generous frankness about the challenges behind the success of her debut novel, THE VERSIONS OF US. What’s more, the music was composed by Laura’s husband Andy!
