Alex has been relishing the opening of galleries and has been to not one but two exhibitions of Rodin. She’s also been splurging in Waterstones on young adult novels, including a tarot mystery with Caroline O’Donoghue, the first novel in the Shadow and Bone series and a novel that the bookseller described as a ‘Brokeback Mountain with zombies’. What more could you ask for?! Meanwhile, Rhiannon has been devouring the touching comedy, ‘Feel Good’ by Mae Martin, adoring the funny and realistic representation of addiction and romance. She also tells us about ‘The Beekeeper of Sinjar’, a heartbreaking read about a beekeeper’s heroic mission to find the Iraqi women taken by Daesh. Finally, Alex lightens the tone asking Rhiannon about the 16 Personalities Test. Who doesn’t love a quiz to find out your true self?
