Donald Trump is so determined to discriminate against trans people that he would issue an executive order threatening funding for hospitals and health centers that provide care for every American just to bully transgender children. Disgusting. I will not stop fighting to protect trans rights.

Run run run to get your hands on this when it's out next month. It was an absolute joy from the first page. If you like audio books, Sally Phillips is the perfect narrator ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I've been a fan of Mike Gayle since his days on Just Seventeen. This is a lovely read about 27 year old Connor, who refuses to move out of his house, which is marked for demolition by the council. But his Mum is missing and he's waiting for her to come home. A sweet story with a fab cast.

It's time to catch up on a few book reviews. First up is the sublime City of Night Birds ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can not find a single fault with this. It was absolutely stunning from start to finish. It is a beautiful story of one girls quest to become a ballerina.

I've been in bit of a reading slump recently (I blame being ill over Christmas and New Year), but I started this last night and it is achingly beautiful so far.

Anyone else build up a load of TV shows to watch with their other half but then feel overwhelmed with the options so just rewatch old stuff?
