The Folded Page, Vol. 18 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Welcome to this month’s instalment of The Folded Page, my miniseries of what I’ve been watching, reading and getting up to in the past month!

My motivation to write this has fluctuated but I’ve just decided to write it, after all I don’t know when I’ll get the time to sit down and properly s
