I’m reading it at the moment and love it
So much loss and grief and violence, and such broken characters but also so much love, empathy and resilience.

I can’t wait to see how it ends but never want to let the characters go.

Screen shot of an instruction manual for a musical instrument 



Please do not use Yamaha recorders for any other purposes besides musical performance.

The above precautions concern the safe and proper use of the instrument.

Probably explains this (slightly baffling) instruction

This sounds right up my street. Saved for future reference. Might have to scale the recipe down though as The Important People in my Life don’t like spinach.

Book cover. The book is called My Friends by Fredrik Backman. 
The illustration is of 3 boys wearing swim shorts - they are swimming with their heads (which can’t be seen) above the surface of the water

One of those books that I can’t stop reading but that I don’t ever want to end. Absolutely loving it.

It’s all about the snappy sound bite and the social media post that will go viral for them. If they get made into a meme even better. It’s just a game to them. I hate them.
