It's a slow starter as the threads of the story come together, but be prepared with tissues as this book will break your heart. Not for reasons you might think. In the end, it'll give you a big hug and put you back together again. Very well written. 🌸

A feel good short-read following the personal growth of a high school boy when his grandfather passes away, leaving him his book shop. Why are books important? Why should we read? Come along for the adventure where things are never as they seem...

The Wilderness Cure is a an inspiring journey through the wild year while trying to survive on only what #mowilde #monicawilde could gather or #forage. Definitely one for fellow environmentalists. #environment #ecofriendly #gaia #wildliving #pagan #archaeology #paleolithic #scotland #offthegrid

Latest read on #autism that I cannot recommend highly enough. It's a biography by the wonderful #melaniesykes. Add this #book to your TBR pile. "Illuminated"

New podcasts! 👀 Well, to me at least.

On the go since 2017, both are popular science communication podcasts by Alie Ward. Featuring interviews with experts in their fields, of all sorts of "ologies".... zoology, climatology, cardiology, speleology...

An extremely 'easy to read' (well researched) and entertaining guide to autism from autistic comedian, Pierre Novellie.

Frankly, this should be essential reading for all, ND and NT alike.

The whole book felt richly relevent to me.

'The Full Moon Coffee Shop' is a magical place to visit. A coffee shop run by cats, that appears in different locations on the night of the full moon. Cats that aren't what they seem to be at first glance...

I love the whimsy of looking up and imagining. 🌸🌙

"A cat a day keeps the doctor away..."

A collection of loosely connected short stories I found to be utterly charming. The next volume is due in September.

I don't wish to 'let the cat out of the bag', but prepare yourself for poignant tears at the end. 🌸

Seen the train pull up and climbed aboard, hello Bluesky! 🦋

Fan of original Twitter before it became a bigots plaything. Now completely disillusioned with the Faceache app of adverts, too. So let's give this a try.

Please be better than clickbaity Threads...?
