Grateful to see Lost Love Songs on this list

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today marks 8 years since the Grenfell Tower fire, when 72 people needlessly died because of corporate greed and deceit.

Every year, I am moved by the resolve, kindness and humanity of the community.

8 years on, we are still fighting for justice.

Granta mourns Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. In memory of his life and work, we have lifted the paywall on his writing for the magazine.

@stefansi @emreadsthebooks Can I put this quote on my book cover?!

[Ingrid Persaud 🇹🇹🇧🇧🇬🇧 @IngridPersaud]

Thanks for choosing #thelostlovesongs. A book plus a sunny spot equals paradise

[Emma 📚🏳️‍🌈💗 (booktwt) @emreadsthebooks]

God I love reading outside weather! I feel so much better about everything when the sun is out!

I was feeling a bit slumpy and then on a whim picked this up yesterday and... I'm already on page 230

A huge book that's so compelling I can't put it down!

Every writer hopes for this magic in the private space where text and reader collide.

[Chronicles of Esteban @stefansi]

Things I can’t forgive Ingrid Persaud for:
- Making me read a book with “Love” twice in the title.
- Writing such beautifully layered and flawed characters
- Making my sinuses act up causing my eyes to leak.
May you never stop writing…..@IngridPersaud
