Re-reading You’re an Animal Viskovitz! By Alessandro Boffa – a brilliant set of short-stories, which remind me about how every generation needs to seek solutions to the same old issues.
Otherwise, I plan to catch-up with my series, I really have liked recently Hotel Beau Sejour (Flemish), GLOW and the Good Fight.

I also recently finished reading A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon King – would really recommend that one.
