Next up for the @service95bookclub… “The scene: a white man in Money, Mississippi is brutally killed, and the battered corpse of a long-dead but familiar young Black man is also left at the murder scene. Before long, a second white man is found beaten and mutilated, with the same Black figure by his side. As more and more men wind up killed, each with these eerily similar dead bodies beside them, local cops are left baffled – and mayhem ensues. Enter wisecracking detectives Ed Morgan and Jim Davis, sent down to investigate from the big city. It doesn’t take them long to work out that each victim has a connection to historical cases of lynching, and that the recurring Black corpse bears more than a passing resemblance to that of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old boy brutally murdered in real life by a lynch mob in that same Mississippi town in 1955. It might sound like a grim tale – and, of course, the subject matter is harrowing. But as the story unfolds, author Percival Everett cleverly sends up all the usual tropes, from TV cop shows to classic detective stories, using satire to bring deep-rooted political issues to light in this masterful blend of horror and humour. He even throws in zombies for good measure. And then there’s the simmering rage that lies at the heart of this book: at racial violence, at police brutality, at the inequity of American history. It’s Percival at his very best – delivering one-liners that will make you howl with laughter, while simultaneously punching you in the gut. Nobody puts it better than Herberta Hind, the book’s straight-talking (Black) FBI agent, when she says: “History is a motherfucker.” And once you’ve read The Trees, you’ll understand why.” - Dua x

30 30 30!!!!!!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes ❤️ This last lap around the sun has been, without a doubt, my favorite year yet. The past 10 years have been the most incredible ride I could’ve ever dreamed of… my 20s were pure MAGIC. Not without their challenges or awkward moments, but filled with more love, joy, and lessons than I ever imagined. I’m so deeply grateful for every step of the journey and everything it’s taken to get here. I’m endlessly thankful for my family, especially my parents @anesalipa & @dukagjinlipa ~ you are the heart of it all. Because of you, me, @rinalipa, and @gjinlipa have always felt like the world was in our hands, that no dream was too big, and that absolutely anything was possible. Sometimes I think the people I keep close are my greatest achievement. Looking around the table this summer at my partner, my closest friends, and my loved ones (the very best of the best), I know I’ve done something right. To everyone who’s been on this journey with me from tiny club shows to Wembley Stadium, anywhere and everywhere in the world, thank you for letting the music be the place where we’ve met, grown, and shared so much of life together. I carry every single moment with me, and I’ll never stop being grateful. The most beautiful part is knowing there’s still so much more ahead… and that we get to keep experiencing it side by side ❤️ And to everyone who’s read a story on @service95, joined our @service95bookclub, or danced with us at @sunnyhillfestival ~ thank you for being part of this adventure in so many different ways. You’ve helped me feel proud, grounded, and fulfilled in ways I never thought possible. I can’t wait to be back on tour in JUST OVER A WEEK!! Canada, America & LATAM… I’m coming for you!! 🚀 Touring through to the end of the year with Radical Optimism feels like the greatest gift. (Blaaady hell this was long — but I only turn 30 once, so i'll see you for another colossal caption at 40 🥳) I love this life, I love this journey, and I never take a single moment of it for granted. Here’s to the next 30 and beyond... it just keeps getting better Xx Dua
