On Monday hundreds of authors will launch a collective position to refuse to cooperate with Israeli institutions complicit in the dispossession and oppression of Palestinians. Authors and book workers everywhere: join the pledge on Monday, when it will be published on @LitHub.

MRS. S by @K__Patrick - a hot summer read 🔥 A hugely addictive novel set within the elite, traditional, and claustrophobic atmosphere of a girls' private boarding school, and about a forbidden affair between the headmaster's wife and the matron, I loved every word.
