I couldn’t wait to get stuck into the final book of the series after the cliff-hanger in the last book! It was stated by Sugg that the book would act as the first of a series, with a sequel titled The Magpie Society: Two for Joy which was released in 2021. So, next time you go to post a comment or an update or share a link, ask yourself: is this going to add to the happiness in the world? As part of the partnership, Sugg created a bath bomb with Lush, which will aid global grassroot groups to secure grants that will focus on mental health.

She announced in August that she had given birth with her first child Ottilie with boyfriend and fellow YouTuber Alfie Deyes.Antisemitism has a long history in this country; Jews, along with Roman Catholics, didn’t have the same rights as Protestants until the nineteenth century. We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Immigration hasn’t always been top of the political agenda; neither has there been a single, uniform treatment of the diverse groups of migrants, but certain groups have been marked out and racialised as different, unwanted and even threatening.

Ivy is less than happy about having to share with the new girl, and the roommates get off to a tense start. The first thrilling instalment in the addictive new series from author duo Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch.

We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.

Because of this, we have to make sure each book plants clues and Easter eggs along the way which has been new for me but I’ve enjoyed it so much. One of those is how we ‘salute’ magpies – something a lot of us do, but we don’t necessarily give a second thought as to where the tradition comes from! One for Sorrowwill be told via the alternating first person perspectives of the lead characters Audrey – written by Amy – and Ivy – written by Zoe – with the narrative being jointly plotted by both authors. If you’re looking for an action-packed start to your 2022 reads with an ending that’ll leave you sitting in bed with your mouth agape, allow Two For Joy to have your attention.

We also really wanted it to be set in a boarding school as we love the grandeur and eerie feel to them, especially the really old ones. But both main characters are a blend of Zoe and I, highlighting different aspects of our personalities. The Magpie Society is set in Illumen Hall, an English boarding school with a mysterious history and a grand interior to match its elite standards.
