Marginalia: Reading + Mothering Recently

What I've been reading (in the margins of motherhood) recently.

Books pictured are the sublime new short story collection, Wednesday’s Child by Yiyun Li and 5 Red Trucks by Katie Button.

I'm trying something new and shifting some content from Instagram (which is not my favourite place to be and always feels slightly like a PR chore) onto Substack so my lovely readers can enjoy it here. I'm calling it ‘marginalia’ (taking it's name from 'reading in the margins of motherhood, of course) and it will be a monthly, 'lite', 'real time' version of Crib Notes, with a smattering of recommendations and thoughts on what I’ve been reading (or trying to read) recently.

I would love to hear what you've been reading and what parenting challenges you've been facing. Please do comment below, so we can chat!
