(Former) devoted book kid and (aspiring) writer, trying to rekindle my love of all things wordy. I’ll be sharing my #BookJourney as I work my way through my hefty TBR list and my #WritingJourney as I try to get my many WIPs down on paper.
As if #YALC wasn’t about to put enough strain on my bank account (and my bookcases) one of my coworkers just figured out how we access the 50% staff discount on books @ work. My life is about to become so rich (in books) and so poor (in the money I need to live) #Booksky #LifeOfABookworm

Someone managed to not get murdeeeeered. I even made it to the final table without getting voted out! (I can only assume that my mum being a traitor had absolutely nothing to do with my longevity). #TheTraitors #London #DaysOut #Experiences

So happy to see Frances White getting the recognition she deserves for an incredible book (and not just cause of the similar surnames 😅) Voyage of the Damned is such an incredible book - who doesn’t want a locked room mystery in a fantasy setting.
I won a British Fantasy Award!!
Sooo this happened! Yesterday I was awarded the British Fantasy Award for Best Newcomer for Voyage of the Damned.
I know everyone says this but I really didn’t expect to win! I’ve always maintained I don’t write the type of books that win awards but apparently I do?

My foolproof technique for #WritersBlock. Trap myself somewhere with no Wi-Fi for five hours until I have to work through it out of sheer boredom. #WritersJourney #WriterThings

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

What happens if we get to the end and there’s just three #Traitors left? Cause they get rid of one more Faithful and they’re a third of the group.

I had some hoisin duck burger that I bought on impulse like five months ago that never actually made it to BBQ so I thought I’d try my hand at a poke bowl….let’s all pretend the egg came out of the pan perfect and didn’t instantly collapse. #Cooking #HomeCooking #PokeBowl

So the next chapter of the #BookJourney is around 550 pages of fairly small writing so we may be in the long haul for this one 😂
