Friday Flurry #7: Bad books, organised books, books-in-progress

I point proudly at my bookcase like a child showing off their things on a playdate and tell you about a couple I creepily observed at a restaurant last year.

Welcome to Friday Flurry, my weekly round-up. These posts, which are a mixed bag of what I’m doing, reading and thinking about, are exclusively for paid subscribers. Many of the people who read my work aren’t subscribers. I get it, you’ll get to it next time, right?! But if you’re a regular reader, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.
