Your boys are back with a fresh take at what’s going on in the world of books.

This week, a storm in a teacup involving Bradford Literature Festival and Midjourney has us anticipating the wider implications of AI in literature, we ponder the point of displaying fake books in your gaff, and what the hell are revered writers like Neil Gaiman getting up to in their spare time? (Spoiler: it’s writing other things, mostly).

We also check in on our latest reads — Callum’s got a new fantasy series on the go and Ryan’s embracing the slog with The Count of Monte Cristo.
