I’m on Threads and Blue Sky at izzybug.bsky.social. I loved Twitter but like many others this platform X and who owns it no longer sits well with my values so I’ll be leaving in a week once I know any pals on here have seen this. I hope to see everyone in kinder places.

It is widely known that @WriteNat might just be one of the best people on the planet, and this book, which I cannot wait for the whole wide world to read, only proves it further. For any young person that adores adventure, travel, history, and making new friends, this is for you.

What a few weeks with @YATIslington. Summer Gala - everyone smashed it. Foundation Course final show - everyone smashed it. Young Company: Heritage - everyone smashed it. The creatives, cast and crew = universally phenomenal. Very proud of what you achieved. And THANK YOU!

Everyone buy this book! It is brilliant and hilarious and will give you top tips for surviving an apocalypse. I can confirm the author is also brilliant and hilarious.

I rented Wonka last night. The fatphobia was something else. Being fat either equalled evil or being the butt of the the joke. It just makes me so tired and sad to still see this everywhere, particularly in a vehicle you know is going to reach so many young people.

My battery is quite low and I need some kind of serotonin boost or good news to jettison me through the next few days until I can hermit and recharge over the bank holiday. On a not unrelated note, I have just brought a bag of mini eggs.

Authors other book/publishing-minded wonders, I have a young man at work who is looking for a fantasy to read - YA or adult - where the hero is a gay man and after they slay their metaphorical or literal dragon, get their happily ever after with a gay man too. Recommendations?

It’s my big holiday of the year: Oscars Night. I imagine Oppenheimer will walk away with Best Picture but Anatomy of a Fall or The Holdovers gets my vote.

I stand by my Insta story 100%. Highly highly highly recommend pre-ordering this gem from @guppybooks. I laughed so hard reading this book that can also make you cry in turn. Love in apocalyptic times - what more could you want?!

Dear Octopus was beautifully uplifting last night. Dodie Smith really knows how to write family dynamics - the funny, sometimes prickly, but always loving kind. And the ending was just bubbling with hope.

I don’t know anything about the sports but the Wicked trailer looked amazing.

So so excited about this book from the amazing @HelenJoC. Might have accidentally very much fallen onto the Waterstones website and somehow ended up pre-ordering it as quickly as I possibly could.
⚡️🦸🏻‍♂️🤷🏾‍♀️COVER REVEAL for The Love Interest by @HelenJoC Welcome to the quiet coastal town of Nine Trees… the epicentre of a dramatic prophecy! When Blaze, the new Hero, arrives, Jenna has the misfortune of being the first person he saves…

Sure Expats has the vibes but if you want a great narrative and brilliant acting then I recommend Black Cake, which has just arrived on Disney .
