Words To Live By Number 191

Am exhausted with the news from America, & really scared of the direction things are heading & we're only one week in to the presidency. Can't shut it out. How do you cope?

I'm excited to be going to the lovely @nichecomics.bsky.social on the 18th February at 7pm to talk about #TheManSheMarried. Do come along! I hear there may be cake...

Tickets available from the bookshop or from Ticket Source bit.ly/4hl8NHS

This is incredibly, incredibly distressing reading.
Solidarity with the trans community in the US

Love a Shari Low novel ❤️
This is her new release, I just had to buy it. As always I'm invested in the characters straightaway and I can't wait to see where they take me.

This book is also giving me a break from reading the very intense ACOTAR series!

I haven't watched the news today. It's a blue Monday. But the rain still falls and the world keeps turning and it's a privilege to be alive.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔

It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

Hadn't realised how stressful his last term was until it was over & we woke up without that 'what did we do while we were sleeping?' dread. We're not even US. Solidarity.

Two days to go!
Grab your copy and dive in! 🫶

Best Advice of 2024

“The Sea House” by Louise Douglas – Book Review @BoldwoodBooks #BoldwoodBloggers @LouiseDouglas3 #TheSeaHouse #BookReview To me, this novel seemed to be a book of two parts. The first part was quite a slow-paced women’s fiction/mystery. The second part turned into a dark thriller with some disturbing scenes. Mil…

Happiest of holidays to you lovely people too. Thank you for making the world a better place x

I posted my overseas cards today & had to buy individual stamps at the PO counter. There was a man behind me in the queue & he kept huffing because he had to wait. There were only eight cards, so it didn't take that long. I did apologise, but should I have let him go ahead of me?

Congratulations that's absolutely wonderful!

Funny that as a #womanofacertainage, I've never felt so empowered as I do today.

I was listening to an interview with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson a few days ago who said we need more stories in Hollywood depicting a solutions oriented future beyond dystopia.

My first thought: Star Trek’s been there this entire time. Gene Roddenberry+ have given us a lot on which to build.

"Vacant possession," is a not entirely accurate either 🫢

I love when readers borrow my books from libraries. They get a book, I get paid, libraries get supported and it's all environmentally friendly! Win win win win! X

The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe M.B.E by Claire Parkin I can’t decide if I’m very late to the hardback party for The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe M.B.E by Claire Parkin, or very early to the paperback party, but either way, I’m d…

Emoji: Artist defends controversial 'poo-shaped' shelter The installation, on a nature reserve, has been created in the shape of a periwinkle shell.

I saw this first hand last week: it's rather beautiful close up but it does look like a 💩, I honestly thought it was there as a comment on sea sewage. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Omg! This has to be a good omen! Happy Friday everyone x

‘I couldn’t look away!’ The rapid, runaway rise of ridiculous Christmas romcoms It’s that season again, when the streamers bring us hot snowmen and heroes who still believe in Santa. Why are they competing to make the most ludicrous movie possible – and why do we keep watching th...
