Recommendations: Ruth Homecoming: The Scottish Years of Mary, Queen of Scots - Rosemary Goring In this book, Rosemary Goring tells the story of Mary’s Scottish years through the often dramatic and atmospheric locations and settings where the events that shaped her life took place and also examines the part Scotland, and its tumultuous court and culture, played in her downfall. Whether or not Mary Stuart emerges blameless or guilty, in this evocative retelling she can be seen for who she really was. https://www.waterstones.com/book/from-our-own-fire/william-letford/9781800173439 - William Letford This prose and poetry tour de force of storytelling has the narrative punch of a novel. It is a new departure for the poet, and for poetry itself. It takes the reader into the not-too-distant future: an artificial intelligence rules the world, and a working-class family use their wits to live off the land. William Letford blends prose and his inimitable poetry: sci-fi and hunter-gatherer are merged into a coherent story in the pages of a stonemason's journal. Americast - BBC Sounds Shona Dancing for the Devil - Netflix After TikTok dancers join a management company and its associated church, unsettling details about the founder and their dark realities come to light. Catriona AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders - Netflix Follow the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from auditions to training camp and the NFL season as they chase their dreams and a coveted spot on the squad.
