Please bore someone else with your questions. That’s all.

So we all just shat ourselves when our phones blared like a foghorn at us, right?!

I’m not exactly making this a ‘Merry Christmas’ for myself am I…

Not drinking at a Christmas party? That’s okay. Let’s normalise sobriety without judgment or peer pressure. Whether it’s for health, recovery, or personal choice, respect goes a long way. Please don’t call someone boring or force drink upon them. Cheers to everyone celebrating their own way 🩷

@bookoffdave.bsky.social and I did a buddy read for Rest Stop last night! A fun novella that felt like a nightmare wrapped up in a short story. Head over to Bookstagram for our full reviews!

Waiting on 6 parcel deliveries today. You might think they’re all Christmas gifts for others, but nope… 4 are for me. Self-care is my love language 😇🎁

Hey Sam! What a great thing to do. I’m a blogger/reviewers mainly over on Bookstagram (@richsreads) 🤓 📚💚

A perfect spa day 🧖‍♀️ Refreshed for another week. If you’re in the South West, Elements Boutique Spa is a glorious getaway in the peaceful countryside.

Update… they’d sold out 😭😂

Off to the finale of ‘Here & Now’ tonight. This show exceeded all my expectations a few weeks ago so I can’t wait to inject ‘Chain Reaction’ into my veins again!

I’m just beyond proud and thrilled for Jennie winning this. It’s so very well deserved. @jenniegauthor.bsky.social Huge congratulations 💙🐦‍⬛

🤤 These sound delicious. Heading straight down in the morning 😂

@bookoffdave.bsky.social The ladies of G-Wing will always be my comfort place 😂

Who’s coming to The Book Party 2025?! This years was a solid 5 star - You’ll be missing out if you don’t come! 📚

No way! I got mine in Zakynthos 🇬🇷

Next - The glorious ‘Frank & Red’ by @manvsbaby.bsky.social. Hilarious dialogue and the interplay between grumpy Frank & relentless Red is seamless. It’s completely endearing and pulls at the heartstrings in all the right places. Warmed my heart & left me grinning throughout. A perfect read for all.

Is anyone else too awkwardly polite for their own good? I spotted an Evri delivery driver leaving my door with my parcel and by the time I ran downstairs to catch him he was driving past and instead of flagging him to stop, I WAVED at him and he waved back. Ffs.

Next up is ‘The Betrayal of Thomas True’ by @ajwestauthor.bsky.social. Totally immersive and captivating. Set in Georgian London & the underworld of the molly houses where a traitor is threatening to expose Thomas & Gabriel. A brutal, heartbreaking thriller that captured my heart. Stunning.

Accurate 💅🏼📚🤓

People are a lot like books except I look forward to books showing up at my front door unannounced

RIGHT! I can relate! Feels like I’m imposing 😂

The List of Suspicious Things by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social has been holding a special place in my heart throughout the year. A beautiful debut that is packed with nostalgia, community & heartwarming friendship that’ll keep you smiling throughout. It’s an absolute masterpiece. (Perfect Xmas gift 😉)

I should probably start posting on here shouldn’t I! Having read over 100 books this year, I’m not doing 100 posts to catch up (you can find my Bookstagram for that!) BUT I will bring you up to speed with my top reads of the year… here goes! 📚🤓

Algorithm… Books, Books, Books, Jane McDonald, Books, Books, EastEnders, Steps, Books, Books, Books. Thanks✌🏼

Sarah 💙 They tributes they did throughout the show were beautiful.

Watching ‘The Girls Aloud Show’ on ITV, and visually this show is absolutely STUNNING! 🎆

Get yourselves to see this! So much fun - Perfect setlist - and a super talented cast!
