Dorothy Parker in Hollywood 💛

Black Rook in Rainy Weather.

Dorothy Parker's signature 💛

Cumbrian sunset and orange rockpools.

I found such a beautiful copy of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas in a second-hand book shop. It was published in 1961.

Daphne du Maurier's typewriter, on display in Jamaica Inn, Cornwall

Virginia Woolf and her glamorous passport.

During this summer in Hollywood, I got to see some of Marilyn Monroe's clothes and objects. And it was fabulous. (Pink Pucci blouse | Black dress worn in Korea | Jewellery from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)

A photograph of Sylvia Plath's well-used, well-thumbed copy of Roget's Thesaurus ❤️

Hello Bluesky 👋😍 ~ I write books and I love reading 💛

The sea fog has rolled in this afternoon. All sound, muffled. The air oddly damp and salty.
