Haha I also vaguely remember scratch and sniff books (mostly that I could never actually smell owt 😅)

And yeah it's so daft. Like who wants this? Literally no one asked for this!

Me, staring at this knowing damn well we're in October and still convinced it's gotta be an April's fool.

Like, it's gotta be...

Poland: Lesbian Love, by Chawa Zloczower / ‘Evelyn Addams’ A series of short stories about lesbian relationships and intimacy, first published in 1925 and considered lost for 74 years.

My most recent entry in my challenge to read a book by a woman from every country in the world is Poland, for which I read a rediscovered book of lesbian short stories from 1925, because queer history is incredible:

Slightly diminish a book:

The Murder in the Next Town Over

I'm wearing a jumper and slippers in August and I'm incredibly grumpy about it 🥶

I'm nearly halfway through amd I spent the entire time reading the part where they were planning to leave wanting them to succeed even though I knew damn well it wasn't going to happen 😭

Yeah it's been a couple of years since I last published and I've started and not finished so many stories 😭

I think part of the reason I'm struggling with writing so much atm is I can't focus on any one WIP - I keep bouncing from story to story to story and I'm not sure how to make myself focus.

Well, I'd like to never read that again! 🤢

No. No, thanks. I want my computer to be literally none of those things...

Spot-on description. I was genuinely cringing as I read that statement like 😬

Also, I'm just a cis woman asking cis men to shut the fuck up about Why Cis Women Totally Need Me To Attack Trans Women On Their Behalf (Even If They Don't Think So, The Little Dears).

I mean this entire statement is complete BS but 'I'll ask not to be shortlisted if all the debut authors return' is some absolutely wild logic.

(I know the answer is he wants to act all 'woe is me' self-sacrificing, but like, still, what?)

The number of times I've been like 'hmmm, maybe I should just double check that' on historical details is So. Very. High.

(And sometimes I was right and sometimes I was wrong and sometimes I gave up because the Internet was no use...)

New release! (Sapphic Greek myth retelling - yes please 😍)

Why are my sales so low when I've done zero marketing? How could this possibly be?

Truly the great mystery of our times 🙃
