Busy on Friday so tweeting my #FridayReads today instead. The New Wilderness by Diane Cook. A terrifying story about climate change, parenting, love and the struggle to survive. Fierce and unflinching, a clarion call.

#FridayReads Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. An explosive story of a wealthy family’s meltdown on the night of their annual beach party. Wonderfully depicted characters and a fabulous setting. She's such a good writer!

#FridayReads The Fell by Sarah Moss. Set in the peak district during one night in lockdown, this story is laced with dread and anxiety but also shows the compassion of people for one another. And there's some great wit in there too.

#FridayReads Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam. A gripping, disquieting, apocalyptic novel. Two very different couples become isolated together at a Long Island holiday home as a disaster unfolds. Mesmerising.

#FridayReads The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. 1617, a storm devastates an isolated Norwegian community, leaving the women to fend for themselves. Divisions simmer, fuelled by the arrival of a witchfinder. Finely written, full of dread, a riveting account of a true story.
