When TikTok Goes Dark and Michelle Obama Says No

Today, I’m diving into two big stories making waves:

📱 TikTok could potentially go dark in the U.S. as early as 19th January 2025. That’s next week! If BookTok disappears, what’s your plan? Are you prepared to navigate the dark? Let’s talk strategy and what it means for creators and readers alike.

💼 Michelle Obama’s boss-level power move: Yesterday, it was revealed that she declined an invitation to attend the inauguration. Is this the ultimate lesson in setting boundaries? What would you do if you were invited somewhere you really didn’t want to go?

Plus, a little reminder that my book The Kill List is coming out in paperback in the UK on 30th January! Don’t miss your chance to grab a copy.
