Well...I set up an account. It will be books, books, books and perhaps a bit more books as well as the podcast about books and the occasional "look at the video I posted about books".
I am back with another bookish episode of the podcast. This time, it's an interview with author Elba Luz about her debut novel, Build a Girlfriend. We talk about everything from writing inspiration to pets and family, so give it a whirl.

I start a new job on Monday so this week I have been getting up a little bit earlier in order to adjust to being back at work. I was incredibly lucky to find a job before I became officially unemployed and cannot wait to start fresh with my new company.

Today is one for editing. Yesterday, I recorded my end-of-year favourites video and a review of Rivals (I've been working on that one since October). Keep an eye out for them both on YouTube. I finally feel organised!

Tomorrow marks the end of week 2 searching for a new role. I also say goodbye to a very good friend as she is laid to rest. November was not a good month, but I find myself hoping that as one door is slammed shut, maybe somewhere another door is being pushed slightly ajar.

Today is a day to get things done. At Christmas, my family has large Yorkshires with the roast and hundreds of iced biscuits... By end of play today, both will be ready to go in my freezer.
If you go somewhere for Christmas, what do you take?

Haven't spent much of today with the books, though I have updated my Being Bookish website with a few reviews, so a tiny accomplishment there. I really need to get better at that!

Welcome to Monday. I am reading the last quarter of A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire. It was a pretty productive reading weekend; two books finished, a third started, and a rather odd week coming up.

It's been a better day today, I've heard from 2 recruiters and have an interview with a third tomorrow (fingers crossed, right?).
I also spent a few hours editing and making recommendations on nearly 9k of a new fantasy...now I am going to pick up my book and #read!

Day 6 of no job, the lack of responses from a multitude of recruiters is quite demoralising, but I am distracting myself with books and reading. Right now I am reading and editing my cousin's daughter's first four chapters. She's turning her hand to fantasy!
