Description

If like us, you've overdone it in the sun, come and hide in the shade and dive into this week's recommendations.

Alex has been swept away in several dystopian worlds, and is suitably intrigued and enamoured by Torrey Peters' Stag

Dance and Jacqueline Harpman's I Who Have Never Known Men.

Rhiannon adds to this week's stack of sexy covers with Sarah Wynn-Williams' Careless People, a memoir detailing her experience of the murky leadership at Facebook. Luckily, Jacinda Ardern's episode on Parenting Hell reinstated Rhiannon's belief in empathetic leaders and she's now super keen to read A Different Kind of Power. Join the conversation in our Thunkers WhatsApp Group, just comment or slide into our DMs to join.
