Why does writing stir up so much self-doubt when it's an idea you've been thinking is brilliant for months! #writingcommunity #writersky

Only 53 pages in but so powerful. Growing up with an abusive man, we were told to call Dad, I've felt these first chapters so deeply. Such an accurate portrayal of how abuse makes you feel #booksky #nesting 💙📚

So Facebook is getting rid of independent fact checkers, but if you want to search for community advice groups on benefits and it accuses you of looking to commit fraud? Ridiculous

Read #4 A light-hearted read. Made me laugh out loud & cringe at the times I went crazy post breakup (thankfully not had to do this in my 30s!) A realistic portrayal of heartbreak that delights in the humour of the madness. My MIL instantly borrowed it, so here's a googled cover! 💙📚 #booksky

@matthaig.bsky.social is one of my favourite authors, & I love history. So, I was always going to love this. I cried at multiple points, and its bittersweet ending left me feeling lucky I won't live for 900 years. He has a unique ability to make you grateful for the life you have 📚💙 #booksky

Already a strong contender for favourite of 2025. I loved The Trees, and I love Everetts' snappy writing style. This book perfectly weaves satirical humour with devastating tragedy. This is a book we needed to be written, and you feel every word of it so deeply. Perfect 💙📚 #booksky
