We’re back with season 6 and have a jam-packed episode for you to dive straight in to! Rhiannon’s reading has taken a baby book and nursery rhyme themed nose dive, but she was rescued by the brilliance of John Boyne in his stunning novel The Heart’s Invisible Furies. Alex was moved by the tender and tragic love story set against the brutality of World War II in Alice Winn’s In Memoriam. We both get our teeth stuck in to the somewhat unanswerable questions we were left with, after watching Netflix’s tour de force, Adolescence, as well as some lighter tangents featuring David Tennant, potatoes and of course, this week’s Who’d a Thunk.
