Trying to get back into reading. I managed to get Wild Journey from the library, a wonderful collection of short stories all connected by starlings. 🪶 @amdassu.bsky.social @joelillington.bsky.social

Electric fire (off) and TV unit in the background, blanket covered legs propped up on footstool. In my right hand is a large mug of tea with a bird surrounded by brambles and leaves on it. To the left, on my knee Wild Journey: a flight of stories across deserts & forests, cities & seas, by A.M. Dassu and illustrated by Joe Lillington.

Collected my ordered copy of Wild Journey by the wonderful @amdassu.bsky.social and illustrated by @joelillington.bsky.social from my local bookshop yesterday. Settling down with it and a large mug of tea 🧡🐦‍⬛ #BookSky #EduSky
