I sobbed through the last part of @bessbell’s memoir and then all I wanted to do was pick up the phone to tell my grandmother about it. If only it had been published five years ago. nytimes.com/2020/03/17/books…

I am a journalist, covering all manner of news and current affairs, and I confess I have absolutely no idea why you’re all stockpiling things. Why? I feel like I have completely missed some kind of memo? How is this going to help you with coronavirus? I just? What?

Remember adult colouring books and erotic fan fiction? Goodbye 2010s. smh.com.au/culture/books/boo…

Book trends of the decade: erotica, colouring books and Aussie noir

The print book has survived, the e-book has plateaued and the audiobook is a hit with achievement-oriented young men who listen at top speed on the treadmill.

Why three women made the tough decision to leave their children
