Can’t wait for Spotify Wrapped to tell my my top five most-listened to songs this year have been nursery rhymes!

Cooooooor

Noooo, Biscoff will always be sensational. But yes, agree with Salted Caramel - bring back Caramel!

Food and drink industry - not everyone likes Pistachio. In fact, I’m not sure anyone’s ever said “cor, this would taste great as a pistachio variant”

📖 Grabbing some rare few actual reading minutes this morning!

BOOKISH FOLK: Going to be writing and recording a video about initial impressions of my Kobo Libra Colour, what sort of things would you like to know?

⚡️ As a huge audiobook fan, of course I had to give this a listen!

Keep your eyes peeled for my review!

Definitely will do!

I’ve done it, I bought a Libra Colour 😮‍💨

@kobobooks.bsky.social

Currently in that dangerous 9pm zone where “just one more chapter” becomes “I’ve accidentally read half the book and it’s 2am somewhere.” 😬

I’m doing it. I’m going to get a @kobobooks.bsky.social. I’ve stopped buying from the other place and have started buying from the Kobo store!

Now hoping for a deal on the Clara Colour 👀

📘 Update: finished it. It was exactly what I needed: cheesy fun!

Scalzi describes it perfectly in his author notes as not a masterpiece symphony but more of an easy pop song with a catchy chorus!

Want to know my current read it?

It’s this. I needed something fun and easy after The Will of the Many and I always enjoy John Scalzi books! 📖

Very welcome! Glad to hear!!

Let me know which you pick up!

The Light That Blinds Us by Andy Darcy Theo book review - Luke’s Blog The Light That Blinds Us does have some slight mishaps and cringey dialogue but enough depth and world-building to stand as a solid debut.

🌊 The Light that Blinds Us is a solid enough debut YA fantasy that has just enough world-building and lore to pique my interest in reading book two.
