Listeners, I'm sitting in my garden, it feels lovely and sunny, I feel like I'm on holiday

for Monest, which is very apt because I've got some more holiday reading for you.

This episode of Homo sapient is sponsored by Better Left Unsaid from Tufael Ahmed, author

of the acclaimed novel This Way Out. Better Left Unsaid is about three siblings navigating

life after their mother's death. They're all living separate lives trying to live

up to their last promises they each made to their mother.

Until a viral news piece throws an unwanted spotlight on the family and forces the siblings

back into each other's lives. Three siblings, three promises, three lifetimes of saying

all the wrong things. Gosh, it feels familiar. I'll leave it at that for now, it's a really

good read. The novel is available at Amazon.co.uk forward slash Homo sapiens. I love it when

they do a little URL for us. Those with a Kindle Unlimited subscription can read at no additional

extra cost. That's www.amazon.co.uk forward slash Homo sapiens. Better Left Unsaid is available

20th September in e-book, paperbook and audiobook editions. Mmm, get involved.

Do you know what it is? It's time for spring. I've had enough. I don't care when the calendar

says it is because spring doesn't start at the end of April or something strange like

that. I'm freezing. I'm sitting indoors in a fleece next to a little electric radiator

that I've got on. And I'm still coldlessness. And I don't know about you, but on February

the whatever it was, however many days we had this year in February, I personally checked

out of winter and said, right, I want shorts, I want open shirts, I want sun. None of it

has appeared. I mean, there's been bits of sun this week, haven't there? But it's still

freezing. Just turn off my recycling bins notification. That's not fun podcast content,
