Well, THIS was fun! #ProbablyNothing by Lauren Bravo is a novel after my own heart ❤️ A witty, sweet novel about hypochondria (hello!) and people pleasing (hello again!) and the longing for love (yes, hello once more 😬) Ultimately VERY sweet. Out in June # #MarianRecommends

Look I know I'm a hypochondriac, but I believe I may be dead?

If you read one thing today make it Martha, Lady Sitwell’s blisteringly honest account of how and why she slept rough in London as a teenager - it can happen to anyone, Cruella Braverman.

I’m not surprised only 5% have taken it up. Trying to sort it out ourselves now and it’s so complicated 😩. I’m fairly literate so will figure out the ten page form I’ve been given eventually, but can’t imagine having to sort it if I couldn’t read/understand as well 😳

Bravo Lauren Bravo 💪🏽❤️
“So funny. And, so much fun.”
Out 4th July, preorder now.

Really good read. SPL is such a gift- wish more employeers topped up the statutory rate. Gloucester diocese and civil service were great on this.

Shared Parental Leave has been law for nearly a decade, yet still only 5% of fathers and partners take it.

I wrote about the highs, lows and lessons of our SPL experience for Grazia UK: graziadaily.co.uk/life/parenting…

It's all coming out now. The men admitting they fancied Margot not Barbara,

why does my coworker's dress look like it's going to be longlisted for the national book award in 2022

Can confirm, incredibly funny.

A very, very lovely list to be in! 🧡

It’s just two weeks until we host the surreal, silly and very very funny songs of Jay Foreman at Matt’s Comedy Club - Tuesday 16 April at Worthing’s Pavilion Atrium. Get booked in for a fun night at wtm.uk/events/matts-c…

I LOVE THIS BOOK. Pity Party is hilarious and heartbreaking, both skilful satire and filled with perfect human truths. It’s Daisy Buchanan’s best work yet, and nobody is NFI! Preorder now: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/untitl…
