One of my current reads: the social thriller
"People Like Her" by Ellery Lloyd which focusses on a mumfluencer/ family vlogger who gets into trouble.I think mumfluencers and family vloggers should stop their line of work, because in my eyes what they do is basically child labour and exploitation. And putting your children in the public eye is dangerous, on so many levels - which is also a topic in this book.

#CurrentlyReading "Reds: The Tragedy of American #Communism", an excellent, detailed history of the Communist Party USA. They scored some impressive victories for labor in their first few decades, and had an admirable commitment to anti-racism that was rare for majority-white orgs of the time. But later decades found the #CPUSA stagnating, comfortable in their role as well-funded lapdogs to a generous Moscow. "History repeats, first as tragedy..." #Marxism #Socialism #History #Politics #USPol

At the beginning of the year, I decided to read the entire Discworld series (about half will be re-reading). Since I don't have much time, I read slowly. So I just finished Equal Rites. At this pace, I'll finish all the books around May 2036. Hooray! ๐

I've never read anything by G.K. Chesterton, but we have 2 or 3 books by him at home. So I'm trying one of them now, The Wisdom of Father Brown.
I have a print from 1924!
The first story was very funny...

This is quite a book if you haven't read it yet. I'm about 2/3 finished.
It's a bit intense...

#CurrentlyReading John Harris' "The Last Party: #Britpop, Blair and the demise of English rock". I was Stateside so I missed a lot of it but I loved #Elastica. They had that one really fantastic album, all fun and clever and #PostPunk and refreshing as fuck. Then the heroin kicked in. Holy fuck that stuff is grim. But there was that one really great album... #Music #ClassicRock #NewWave #PostPunk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djjw3BKUV28
