I've long been a fan of Judith Scheele's work, so it's been a lovely surprise to learn from a kind review in the Journal of North African Studies that she's read my book! (And for the low price of £30 or an email to your local library, so can you!)

I really enjoyed speaking to Jon Alterman on the @CSISMidEast Babel podcast about my book 'Smugglers and States'. (The podcast series in general is excellent, would highly recommend checking out the episodes that don't have me on...)

I don't know how you're spending your coffee breaks but I'm happy to confirm that the answer to the question "Are seasonal effects driving how well the Guardian Blind Dates are going?" is probably no.
