In our previous expert knowledge blog, we discussed why industry expertise was so important for both clients and candidates. We also introduced you to the Supply Chain team in Edinburgh which hopefully gave you a deeper understanding of how the Supply Chain teamwork.
This month we are looking at our Sales & Marketing team made up of Greg Carroll and Alex Tye who are based in Manchester. Jack Parsliffe, Graham Knight, John Hancock and Manager Richard Parsons who are based in Edinburgh.
The food manufacturing industry is a fast-paced, innovative and exciting environment to work in. It’s the fastest growing manufacturing sector in the UK, so there is always new enthusiastic business starting up needing experienced candidates. Examples of positions we recruit for are Marketing Manager, Sales Manager, Commercial Manager and Technical Sales Manager and Category Manager.
Sales and Marketing are at the core of a business plan so these are key hires, often a more in-depth process than other recruits into a business. Recognising this, D R Newitt decided to create our first specialist division to recruit sales and marketing. The model that we now operate with expert teams of consultants for different skillsets was grown out of the success of this.
The process in how we search for potential candidates in the Sales & Marketing team is ever evolving and bespoke. So, continuous discussions are held between both client and consultant to make this process more efficient, ensuring the candidates we place will add value from day one.
Our consultants will start things off with an initial briefing taken with a hiring manager.
Briefing – It is crucial to doing a good job that we speak to either a head of department or the line manager of hire. It can also be useful to receive input from the HR team who may be able to give any extra relevant information. This process is often overlooked but the reasons are clear. D R Newitt will be representing the Client in the marketplace. If we don’t understand the business, the role, the scope and opportunity of it, then not only will we look stupid but so does the business we’re representing.
Detail – We must understand as much detail as possible, this is more important in sales than most of our disciplines. For example, are you looking for new business? If so, which contacts and market understanding will help? If you are office based, can people work a day from home? This can expand the search out another 20-30 miles. If managing a major customer, who is it and how often will they be there? Again, this can expand the search and allow us to look for someone local to commute to their head office once a week.
Searching – A thorough search is then carried out on our database using keywords to narrow down specific talent. We also utilise LinkedIn, job boards and a little bit of networking to go that extra mile.
Advertising – Here comes a little marketing from ourselves, getting the job seen by the right people is important. Again, using LinkedIn and Job boards to widen the reach.
Candidate selection – once we have searched we spend time filtering our list by holding initial screening calls with candidates. Interested people are then sent away to review the job and company website. Further interview questions will then be asked by us.
Final shortlisting – At this stage, we will then come up with the initial shortlist for interview.
Client consultation – We discuss our shortlist and at this point we will often go back to searching, to ensure our client gets the requisite number of face to face interviews.
Recruitment companies are continuously evolving and transforming, so as a result, their needs are changing too. To lead the way as a recruitment company, our aim is to build a consultative and trusting relationship with our clients. Instilling confidence in our abilities to deliver results whilst educating our values throughout the process.
Knowing the industry inside out is key to this particular service. Our consultants are highly trained within the sector and clients will often rely on our knowledge to benchmark candidates.
The best advice we can give to any client is to engage with us and work in partnership. We spend days researching, networking, interviewing and shortlisting for our best clients. To do this best we need to know you well, know your business and understand the brief. This cannot be done by email or a 2-minute phone call. Time is precious of course but think of the time wasted by not making the right hire or by not getting your new person in place in good time. Speak to us about our retained consultative approach for the best level of service.
What it’s like to work at D R Newitt and how is your journey so far?
I joined D R Newitt with no recruiting experience, I think in time that has actually become a strength as I haven’t learned the bad habits that seem to be common in recruitment. I’ve been on external courses and enjoy liaising with other recruiters to make sure I learn new ways and skills all the time.
I was lucky in that the business pushed me into sales recruitment from day one and having now worked in it for almost 9 years whilst dabbling a little in other areas I can say it is a great division to work in. It also gave me an opportunity as DRN had done very little specialised sales recruitment so I had the chance to start something. Over time I have coordinated our sales database to my own liking and hired people to work with me who have really helped us grow.
Do you Liaise with Other Parts of The Business much?
We work closely with the other teams in the business, information sharing has always been key to us and divisions work together. For example, for ingredient salespeople can step out of NPD for that so we talk to the experts in that division and traders often come from buying backgrounds so we liaise with Supply Chain.
Do you have a unique management style?
I think in general people don’t enjoy being managed too tightly. I try to strike a balance, with new people you need to keep them on the right path and make sure their time is spent wisely but ultimately, we are trying to mould recruiters who are mostly self-directed as everyone here manages their own work and desk. The best recruiters see their ‘desk’ as their own mini business unit and I encourage that.
We do have KPIs that we track although without the lack of sense some recruitment companies enforce them with. I tend to look at KPI’s that I know generate success so I target ratio of candidate to interview, focus on number of jobs to interview.
What you’ve personally learnt about the industry?
It’s a tough one, margins are always being squeezed and competition is fierce. I think people in food have a great passion for it though and the desire for constant NPD keeps things very interesting.
I think the industry attracts entrepreneurs as food companies can grow from small beginnings and I really enjoy working with SME’s helping them to hire their first sales personal or build a small sales team so it is well suited to me.
Where is Food Manufacturing going?
Well, it’s not going to disappear, people need to eat but food and drink is also a great social driver worldwide. I personally love eating out, trying new foods and also cooking at home for family and friends, testing my limited cooking skills! I think new restaurant chains will keep opening, new food trends will keep emerging and the industry will continue to be strong.
I hope this has given you a grasp of how much time and care is given into selecting the right candidate. The next blog in our Expert Knowledge series we will be exploring D R Newitt’s Technical team, this time offering future candidates the advice and guidance needed for a rewarding career in food manufacturing.

The last person we would expect to suggest as a model for catechists is the Little Flower, Saint Therese of Lisieux. Her short life of twenty-four years from 1873-1897 was spent with her family until the early teens, and then the rest of her days, in a cloistered Carmelite convent. Needless to say, these are not exactly what we associate with teaching the Faith. Yet she has been declared a doctor, which means teacher, of the universal Church.
The key to understanding how Saint Therese is a model for catechists can be found in her autobiography. She tells us volumes on what is the principal task of a catechist. A catechist is useless unless he or she is a channel of grace. After all, the purpose of catechesis is to change people’s lives. Instruction for the mind is given as a means for inspiring the will. Inspiring the will is to move the will from vain love of self to selfless love of God and selfless love of others, out of love for God.
Viewed from this perspective, the Little Flower takes on a new meaning. She is not for nothing the heavenly patroness of the missions, along with Saint Francis Xavier, the Apostle of the Indies. He personally instructed and baptized over one hundred thousand natives of India. Saint Therese never preached a single sermon.
In her autobiography, the Little Flower has this to say. It is a bit long, but deserves to be quoted in full.
When I looked upon the Mystical Body of Christ, I recognized myself in none of the members which Saint Paul described, and what is more, I desired to distinguish myself more favorably within the whole body. Love appeared to me to be the hinge of my vocation. Indeed I knew that the Church had a body, composed of various members, but in this body, the necessary and most noble member was not lacking. I knew that the Church had a heart, and that such a heart drove the members of the Church to action, that if this love were extinguished, the apostles would have proclaimed the Gospel no longer, the martyrs would have shed their blood no more. I saw and realized that love sets off the bounds of all vocations, that love is everything, that this same love embraces every time and place. In one word, that love is everlasting. Then nearly ecstatic with the supreme joy in my soul, I proclaimed, “O Jesus, my love, at last I have found my calling: my call is love. Certainly I have found my proper place in the Church, and you gave me that very place, my God. In the heart of the Church, my Mother, I will be love, and thus I will be all things, as my desire finds its direction!
It is not our purpose here to analyze this beautiful apostrophe of the Little Flower. There is only one, but a basic thought we should extract from Saint Therese’s words and that is: religious instruction without teaching love is meaningless; catechesis without teaching charity is useless; Christianity without charity is paganism.
Whatever else, therefore, a catechist teaches those under religious instruction, the heart of Christian catechesis is instruction in Christian charity. It might be useful, if only for a few minutes, to explain what we mean by Christian charity. Christian charity is not worldly love.
Christian charity is supernatural love.
Christian charity is supernatural love because it would be unknown, except for the supernatural revelation made by God, Who is Love, and Who became Man to show us the meaning of love.
Christian charity is supernatural love, because it requires supernatural grace to practice.
Christian charity means two things. It means loving God more than anyone else in the world, especially more than we love ourselves. It means loving others out of love for God. It means loving others as God loves us.
Catechists have many truths of the Faith to teach, but none is more basic, or more important, or more profitable for salvation, or more distinctively Christian, than to teach the meaning and value and practice of selfless love.
If the teaching of Christian love or charity is so important in the teaching of Faith, how can this best be done? In other words, what is the pedagogy of Christian charity? One simple sentence answer: The most effective way for a catechist to teach Christian charity is to practice Christian charity.
There is more locked up in this statement than meets the eye. God will use us as catechists to teach the virtues in the measure that we ourselves practice them. The most distinctive virtue of Christianity is selfless love of God and selfless love of others out of love for God. Like reproduces like. We shall be conduits of divine grace to generate loving Christians in the degree that we are personally living loving Christian lives. This is the iron law of spiritual reproductivity. It is also the secret of being an effective catechist.
Live what you teach—especially Christian charity.
Be what you say—especially selfless love.
Then you can leave the rest up to God. He knows that the main reason He became man in the Person of Jesus Christ was that we might follow in His footsteps, and prove to a selfish world that Christianity is the true religion. Why? Because it produces selfless people who believe—with the Little Flower—that our primary vocation in life is to love.
Of course, on earth, the price of loving selflessly is suffering. Of course, it means enduring pain. Of course, it means carrying the Cross! But the reward is great. Already on earth, selfless love produces such peace of soul as nothing else can provide. And in the life to come, the reward for selfless love is to enjoy the possession of God, Who is Love, and enjoy the experience for all eternity.

Serena Williams admits her mind wandered to her child, Alexis Olympia, while she was playing her first match since becoming a mother, but was pleased to get back to the court for an exhibition match against Jelena Ostapenko in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Serena, playing for the first time since her Australian Open title success 11 months ago, and less than four months since delivering her first child, lost a tight match to the current world No. 7, 6-2, 3-6, [10-5] in front of a buoyant Abu Dhabi crowd.
“Motherhood is phenomenal. I was a little worried out there and I looked at my camp and I was like ‘is Olympia okay?’. But it’s really good,” Serena said in her on-court interview.

Rosewill RC-202 Internal SATA to eSATA II External 2Port Host Bracket Cable 11"
When connecting the drive again, you may also need to re-scan your drives.
Pros: Inexpensive and it works fine.
Cons: Described length is mis-leading. It's 11"... only if you measure from the external faceplace to the tip of the internal eSATA connector. Actual cable length is 8". In reality, if you're motherboard eSATA connector is more than 7" from the rear to your case, you'll need a longer part number than this.
Other Thoughts: Should read the reviews before buying. My case-2-connector distance is just under 9". Thought I had an extra 2" of slack to play with. Shipping costs more to send this back. Oh well.
Other Thoughts: really really nice product, would buy another if needed.
Pros: Works and is cheap.
Other Thoughts: It's basically a pass through SATA to eSATA (female) cable. Bracket cleans up the look at the back of your case. So it just works.
But from memory I remember not finding anything really that long with brackets. While length did worry me somewhat before purchase it turns out to work great for me.
My MB came with 8 SATA ports. 4 used for internal drives and the other 4 I used specifically with these brackets. But I did use the SATA ports closer to the back of the case/MB.
For what it's worth it would not have reach the front SATA ports if I wanted to used those instead.
So if your SATA ports is anywhere pass the halfway point of your MB I would worry a bit about length.
Pros: Looks like it would work okay.
Cons: The cables are just a bit too short to plug in to my SATA connectors from where it's supposed to be mounted on the PCI slot on the back of the tower. Perhaps having an L shape connector, it might have been able to squeeze it in.
Other Thoughts: It's always better to have more cable length.
Other Thoughts: I installed this in my Dell Dimension 9200 and the cables were plenty long enough. After installing I hooked up the CAVALRY CAXB3701T0 1TB external drive using eSATA to eSATA cable and enjoyed lightening fast response times!

This gap in my knowledge means that I don’t automatically follow anyone who has chosen to follow me. My understanding is that doing so can lead to a fairly rapid rise in the number of followers on the basis that the more people you know about, the more people will know about you.
Even so, my tally of followers has grown steadily and seems to be showing signs of acceleration, as you would expect, mathematically. And it occurred to me that some of those new followers might be interested in some of my previous ‘pontifications’ so it might make sense to tweet again about some of the pieces based on my own evaluation of my best work.
I started with the piece about Heracleum mantegazzianum, giant hogweed, that, for some reason, makes a regular appearance in my ‘most visited pages’ statistics. Here it is in case you’ve missed it.
That seemed to work so I followed it, today, with the story of the destruction of my Catha edulis, khat, plants just over a year ago. Actually, it was that piece that gave me the idea of revisiting the past because I’d intended to mention it on the one year anniversary but missed it by a few days.
Looking back, as best I can, it appears I may have been right. I can’t find any criticism of the decision on foil from even the most rabid prohibitionists. The recent European ruling on what is being called the ‘right to be forgotten’ means that Google is no longer a reliable way to determine whether or not something exists online. That means I’ve had to search the individual sites that give houseroom to their writings but, unpleasant as that experience was, it confirmed that there was no criticism of the decision on foil as a sign of being ‘soft on drugs’.
Overall, I haven’t been able to find anyone who spun the decision on foil as being the government encouraging drug use. Given some of the extreme distortions of reality that will likely feature in future pieces dragged up from the archive, it is surprising that that didn’t happen.
I have to concede that Theresa May got it right by sacrificing the interests of the minority communities where khat chewing has been outlawed in favour of avoiding any suggestion that she is ‘wet’.
I can only hope that her callous indifference to the well-being of British citizens will, in due course, be a factor in her not succeeding David Cameron as leader of the Conservative Party.

The moment every beer-drinking, Northern-Michigander has been waiting for has finally arrived: Suttons Bay’s Hop Lot Brewing Company is open for business. Co-owners and brothers, Steve and Drew Lutke, have poured an enormous amount of effort into crafting this brewery into a fabulous place to enjoy the fresh outdoor air while drinking great beer. Don’t take my word for it though, swing up M22 and check it out for yourself.
Over a year in planning, Canton Brew Works opened to the public in late April. Owners Barry and Cara Boggs are excited to finally be able to share their beer with the eager residents of Canton and Western Wayne County.
With microbrewries opening around the state in record numbers, the experience of Tecumseh Brewing Company’s founders have put them ahead of the usual learning curve.
When I met up with North Center Brewing Company owner Kevin DeGrood, during their investor soft opening, I asked about their brewing philosophy. “For us it’s pretty simple- If you like it, it’s a good beer”, he said. That phrase is featured on the backs of their brewery t-shirts, and is a good summary of this new brewery that wants to approach beer in 'a less pretentious way'.
Breweries everywhere are quickly popping up faster than the average person can find time to visit. With such a quick increase in great beer, brewers are seeking ways to differentiate themselves from each other. Rare Bird Brew Pub is no exception; this brewery offers a wide variety of their own brewed beers, as well as serving up fantastic brews from other craft breweries in their taproom.
Rare Bird generally has at least four of their own brews on tap, all strong in both taste and ABV’s. With names such as Pants Party American Pale Ale and Large Marge Belgian Special, you can’t help but get a chuckle out of each order. There are about thirty taps going at any time, making the selection of beers vast. Founder’s, Short’s, and Brewery Vivant are always well represented with both their latest and most classic brews. Additionally, Rare Bird offers wine, ciders, and a full liquor bar, making it easy to appease even the finickiest of drinkers.
If you like great craft beer, chances are your palette will go crazy over the Pork Belly Nachos. There is 99% chance that these are the best nachos in Traverse City. If you have a contender, please let me know as soon as possible so I can check them out. Other savory, edible items include the garlic dusted frites and the charcuterie board. All of the menu items pair wonderfully with Rare Bird’s beer, though I’m slightly biased considering I think beer pairs well with all food.
While enjoying your beer, you have the opportunity to watch the brewing process through large glass windows on the east end of the brew pub. Ginormous picnic tables make up the majority of the seating, making it a great place for groups or getting to know the new neighbor sitting next to you. Private booths and high top tables are available as well, so feel free to get cozy on date night.
I strongly encourage getting a flight of whatever brews have “recently hatched” to enjoy the full range of flavors that Rare Bird has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for punny aviation and bird personification as well, this brew pub is delightfully witty.
Taps and more taps! Taps and more taps!
Baffin Brewing is Saint Clair Shores is a community focused brewery, like so many in Michigan’s thriving microbrewery scene. Since it’s opening in January, they have been delighting their customers with good beer and a welcoming, communal space.
It’s winter in Michigan, which means the only real thing to do is drink beer and eat food. In keeping with such expectations, I hit the road down south (45 minutes south) to Kalamazoo to check out some local breweries on a recent Tuesday.

While I’m working on something more meaty, here’s a bit of fun.
Like most people my age, I learned to type on a manual typewriter, an old Smith-Corona, to be precise. It was heavy — damned heavy — and came in its own nearly-as-heavy hard-sided case. It had a black-and-red ribbon that always got twisted, the keys continually got hooked onto one another, and after typing up an evening’s homework, my forearms ached from the physical exertion of pressing down the keys. That’s no exaggeration; it took some oomph to make those levers thwack with enough force to register through to the carbon copy.
What’s a carbon copy, you ask? Well, it’s a … nope, I don’t have time or space to explain it all.
The first time I was able to use an electric typewriter was in the ’80s, and it was an IBM Selectric. The Selectric replaced the individual letter-levers with a letter-embossed ball that spun around to smack the appropriate letter onto the page. You could type faster — miles faster — and you could actually switch fonts by swapping out the ball, but it was even heavier than the old manual models. Not designed with transportation in mind.
Then it was word processors, and then computers, which effectively killed off the typewriter industry and brought us all into the age of the electronic keyboard. The world never looked back.
Well, most of the world.
For me, I missed the sound and the tactile feel of the manual keyboard. It had its quirks, but it worked at a slower, more thoughtful pace that was more in step with my actual compositional speed. The speed of the new keyboards did nothing to improve my writing. On the contrary, my writing suffered.
When the industry rolled out “virtual” keyboards — either displayed on a touch-sensitive screen or (horrors!) projected onto a desktop — it was a disaster for folks like me. I’d come to depend on the keyboard’s tactile cues, like the little raised dots on the F and J keys, or just the feel of the keys beneath my fingers. My typing speed slowed down dramatically, as I was constantly having to check on where my hands were situated, and whether or not the “helpful” auto-correct feature had correctly corrected my typing. The constant interruption of the “flow” made it impossible for me to write anything longer than an email. And people wonder why I still write fiction longhand.
But now, there’s a new type of keyboard on the market. They’re a chimera of retro and modern functionality. They are manual-typewriter-inspired, Bluetooth-enabled, and fully compatible with both computers and tablets.
There are several varieties on the market — mine is a QwerkyWriter — but they’re all highly reminiscent of the old manual typewriters. They have big scratch-resistant letters on rounded, metal-ringed keys with a faux-platen to hold your tablet (without the protective case, sadly, but you can’t have everything). The Qwerky has a working return bar (which is actually programmable, so you can assign a macro of keystrokes to the return bar — helpful for screenplay writing and such).
It still has the raised dots at F and J, it has all the function keys, the Ctrl/Alt/Del combo, Page Up/Down, arrows, everything, even a Delete and a Backspace key. The Qwerky also has faux platen knobs at the sides, for a nice retro aesthetic.
And while the sound of the keys isn’t exactly what it was on my old Smith-Corona, it’s a lot closer than my ergo-board, and won’t make my carpal tunnel act up (see video, below, for a sample of how it sounds).
I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks, now, and I thoroughly enjoy using it. The Bluetooth connects with my tablet, my laptop, even my phone if I want it to, and the performance is instantaneous. Just as for a violist switching to the smaller violin, there’s a brief transition period when I move from my big ergonomic split-style keyboard over to the more compact Qwerky layout, but it’s an easy adjustment to make. Besides, the Qwerky’s layout is still wider than the virtual keyboard on my iPad, so it’s less torque on the wrists.
There are several makers of this type of keyboard; I opted for the Qwerky despite it’s higher price, primarily because of the company’s longevity and good track record. There are less expensive models available, most of which have received good reviews.
The only downside to the Qwerky and it’s ilk is a basic lack of transportability. I mean, I kept the box it came in, just in case I want to take it to a writing conference (yeah, like I go to writing conferences), but to be honest, I see little need to carry it around. That’s not what it’s for.
So, if you have a quasi-Luddite writer at home and want to buy her an excursion back to the 1960s, consider one of these.
Wow! Some nice features. But not at a coffee shop where it could get noisy with a lot of people using these! As you said, not portable.
More portable than my old Smith-Corona, which I _did_ lug around some, but yeah, not like a tablet.

In what is being described as a "people's coup" in Thailand, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has reportedly been forced to flee to an undisclosed location as thousands of anti-government protesters stormed government buildings in the capital Bangkok.
The protesters broke into a police sports club compound, where Shinawatra was present on Sunday morning (1 December). Her security guards quickly moved her to a secret location. Government officials have denied she has left the country.
Troops have been deployed in Bangkok to quell the protests which have entered their eighth day. More than 30,000 people are protesting across the city, demanding that the government step down.
Local reports suggest the anti-government protesters have taken control of the broadcaster, Thai PBS. Opposition leaders are said to be attempting to use the channel to deliver an anti-government address.
Police personnel are using tear gas and water cannons against the protesters, who have attempted to break into government buildings.
Two protesters have been killed, one of them shot, during the clashes. Dozens of others have been injured in overnight gun and knife skirmishes.
The anti-government campaign had until Sunday been largely peaceful, but the situation worsened after the opposition groups declared an all-out assault on the government declaring "V-Day" for their "people's coup".
"I just want the people named Shinawatra to get on a plane and go somewhere - and please, don't come back to our country again," 33-year old Chatuporn Tirawongkusol told Reuters.
"We have sent forces to these places to take back government property," police spokesperson Piya Utayo said in a televised address.
The protests were set off by a controversial amnesty bill which might have allowed the prime minister's brother and former leader Thaksin Shinawatra to return from his self-imposed exile.
Thaksin was overthrown in a military coup in 2006 and the ruling prime minister is accused of running the government as his proxy, leading to the biggest protests in Thailand since 2010.

So I completed like over half of the challenges.
So I think I’m going to say I was successful in this thing.
This completes the ‘A book with red on the cover’ & ‘A book from the genre you’ve read the least this year’ challenges, as it’s blatantly red and horror fiction. Oh my god, was it gory. Far more than the first, which was a surprise that I should have expected. I mainly read this for Will Henry, also known as one of the best sidekicks ever. This kid is getting good character development.
This fulfills no quotas, but it was short and interesting (and super creepy) so I read it and enjoyed it. I had to do a little double-take at the end. Seriously, that ending. What.
While it definitely counts for ‘A book with pictures’, I’m also the including ‘A book-to-movie adaptation’ challenge, even if it’s not technically true. And I watched it two years ago, not during the book-tube-a-thon. But details, details, I’m counting it.
It was short and cute and really clever, so it was perfect for this booktube-a-thon thing.
Which was also amazing. I was then going to go on and read The Way of Kings while I was on this Sanderson kick, but I saw how long it was and got intimidated. Over 1000 pages. Yikes.
I had nearly finished this book before the booktube-a-thon, so I decided to read it to fulfill the ‘read seven books’ challenge. Honestly, I didn’t like it very much, especially after reading two really fabulous fantasy novels.
I also read about one third of ‘if nobody speaks of remarkable things’ by Jon McGregor, but I was lazy so I didn’t finish it. And I read about fifty pages of Birdsong, which was inbetween this whole fantasy thing I was doing near the end of the week, and I realised that this wasn’t the genre I wanted to be reading.
If I calculate my page count (Which really isn’t very high because I’d started a lot of these books beforehand) is about: 1750 pages.
So I completed most of the challenges, and I read a book a day, and I’m really happy with that. This was surprisingly fun.
I would recommend that you guys try this when it rolls around again, because it gives a real sense of achievement when you can tick off a challenge, and if you watch the youtube videos along with it, there’s a very nice sense of community.
Yeah, I’ll have to do this again next year.
I’m bored and need incentive to read more instead of wasting all my time on tumblr.
And I’m probably not going to complete all the challenges. But let’s go.
1. The Avengers Prequel: Fury’s Big Week – This has been sitting on my shelf since this avengers movie came out… two years ago? And it has pictures. So there.
Start and finish a series.
2. The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson – I was already reading this one by the time booktubeathon rolled around so this works by shear coincidence. But I don’t have the next two books, so we’re cheating this challenge.
A book with red on the cover & A book from the genre you’ve read the least this year.
3. The Curse of the Wendigo by Rick Yancey – I haven’t read any horror/middle-grade (is this middle-grade?) this year, and I really enjoy this series, even if it is extremely gory.
A book someone else picks out for you.
4. if nobody speaks of remarkable things by Jon McGregor – Recommended to me by a friend, which so totally counts.
5. Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks – I can’t exactly watch the movie adaptation yet because it doesn’t exist, but it’s in the works, so it technically will have an adaptation at some point.
This list will probably change, since I can never stick to TBRs, but hopefully this will offer some motivation to get some reading done this week. Or what remains of this week.

A Former Love Islander ‘contestant’ has made claims suggesting the popular ITV2 show is staged.
Well, it’s not actually that shocking, surely?
The claims come from last series’ contestant Tyla Carr, who says producers dictate what conversations are had on the show.
What viewers don’t see is there is always a producer on site.
They don’t live in the villa with us but someone generally comes in every hour to have a chat.
They would often tannoy an announcement asking for someone to come to the sofa to have a chat with one of the producers.
They tell you what they want you to talk about, and who with.
Tyla also said the contestants are told they ‘must tell producers’ if they’re going to be having an important chat with someone else. That way they can ensure the microphones are there to ‘pick up the confrontation’.
Apparently if they forget to inform the crew of their ‘important conversations’, stars are forced to film the conversation again.
Liv Attwood had to dump Sam Gowland twice last year, which was embarrassing for both of them.
Love Island spokespeople have denied the claims.
It is absolutely untrue to suggest Love Island is fake. The opinions they have and the relationships formed are completely within the control of the Islanders themselves.
As we have said since series one, Love Island is a combination of reality and produced elements. Any produced elements are designed to allow viewers to understand what the Islanders are feeling and to help move narrative threads on.
Tonight’s (July 1) episode is set to bring some drama for Georgia Steel, whose Love Island partner Josh Denzel looks set to get with Kazimir Crossley.
In an ITV2 preview clip at the end of Friday’s (June 29) episode, Josh was seen kissing Kaz as they shared a bed together in the villa.
Georgia had made the decision to stay away from the new contestants and slept outside on a day bed with Dani Dyer, as she said she saw a ‘future’ with Josh.
Call me old-fashioned all you like, but behaviour like this is just one of the many, many reasons I cannot stand the programme.
Viewers were outraged at the clip.
The producers of love island need to send Georgia a warning text about Josh because I swear to god if she’s dumped from the island because she stayed loyal I’m going to cry she’s too precious.
Not vibing with how disloyal the majority of the #LoveIsland boys are this year This is why so many girls have so many issues from behaviour like this – and my heart is going to BREAK when Josh chooses his new girl over Georgia when she’s been so loyal. I can’t deal with it. [sic].
