Pig by @1Matilde. This was brilliant - I was completely rooting for Vale as she grappled with a childhood friendship turned extremely toxic whilst juggling being a person in the world and writing a book on pigs! Stayed up late reading and crying - couldn't put it down!

Proofs of the most INCREDIBLE debut novel are in and they look stunning. PIG by Matilde Pratesi is a razor-sharp debut about toxic female friendship. Publishing in May with @CorsairBooks 🐽

Whilst it was cold in Europe today, a reminder that the temperature in the Arctic was more than 20°C warmer than normal for this date. Dataviz vis @ZLabe. See how the red line for 2018 compares with the white line that shows average temperatures #ClimateChange

I love in films like 300 where the main guy will say something like “get some sleep, for tomorrow we battle to death”, and everyone just goes into deep sleep, in some wet grass, fully clothed. I can’t get to sleep in a warm bed if I have a 10am conference call about content.
