Welcome to Take Five!

Take Five helps your mind take a break from the news in favour of five good things from around the internet. Common fare includes entertaining reads, funny tweets and fail-safe recipes.

About me: I’m Shams Al-Shakarchi, I write and edit at a publishing agency and I live in Kent, England. I’m currently reading The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin, watching BBC’s I May Destroy You, and searching for the perfect brownie recipe.
