Dua Lipa’s speech at the International Booker Prize “There isn’t anything quite like a book to understand the perspective of others and translated fiction takes that further. I guess it’s the fusion of an experience that is so universal and at the same time so unique. It’s the antidote to othering.”

      If we ever have to send a representative to the aliens to convince them not to destroy the human race, I vote Dua

      I truly believe Dua and I would be great friends. She seems like such a treasure 💎

      But “Othering” is what our society is based on. Oh, that’s right, we don’t read. Fuck, she has a point.

      I love that there’s a pop star for the bookworm girlies. And she’s not reading booktok romantasy hits

      Good Lordy she’s a great speaker. So calm, confident and completely captivating. I don’t know much about her but much respect! Love a fellow book nerd! 🙂

      Another day I don’t know if I’m more jealous of Callum for being with her or of her being with him (starting to be more jealous of him)

      Dua Lipa is the intellectual pop star Taylor Swift probably thinks she is.

      I have Dua Lipa face blindness.

      No fault of hers. Not meant to insult. But no matter how many times I see her, I never recognize her or remember what she looks like.

      If you ever need to commit a crime Dua, do it in front of me. The police sketch will be a blank page. They’ll never catch you.
