Happiness: Essential Mindfulness Practices

Thich Nhat Hanh

Laurie Penny

If there’s a heaven and it has a waiting room, I want to listen in on the conversation happening right now between Meatloaf and Thich Nhat Hanh. ‘Tell me, friend- what was it? That one thing that you would not do for love?’ ‘Impose my own idea of happiness on another.’ ‘Good.’

Cotillion

Georgette Heyer

Laurie Penny

I want to be very clear that I LOVE the romance genre with the zeal of a recent convert. Everyone dismisses it as dross because it’s apparently for girls and therefore apparently below regard. I defy anyone to find a modern literary thriller better plotted than ‘Cotillion’. https://t.co/eeSBAK0leW

Life and Loves of a She Devil: Life and Loves of a She Devil: A Novel

Fay Weldon

Laurie Penny

Fay Weldon. One of the great prose stylists of her age. Ave atque vale. If you haven't, do yourself a favour and read 'the Life and Loves of a She-Devil.' #rip #fayweldon
