I've got just a few fun reading plans for August. August is Women in Translation month which is inspiring. You could join me in #faulknerinaugust (ask in the comments about the Voxer group) or #tseliot2025 discord.gg/xmnCnHTSVB or #readingtheglobefiction2025 discord.gg/7cJNH2bHBF or maybe the big Hardy readalong discord.gg/weGZfy2GWt
And I'm dipping into #garbaugust

Also - live show for Standing Heavy by GauZ' is on this channel at 7pm UK time on Sunday 2nd August.
