31: I finished this yesterday. An inspiring memoir told through food. Wry, warm, full to the brim with deliciousness. On completion I headed straight to the supermarket & the butcher & spent the entire afternoon cooking. Then we watched Big Night. Pure, unadulterated joy.

So I’m now over on Bluesky - same name - come say hi!

30: The story of Karuna, pregnant at 16, whose mother has confined her to their 14th floor Melbourne council flat. Claustrophobic, dark & funny in equal measure it explores the complexities of mother/daughter relationships & tensions between love & control, culture & superstition

I know 19 ACROSS! From yesterdays USA Today.
