(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.

You know I’m not going to #CoventGarden station and not checking out the market! They already have their Xmas decorations up! #Lego #Christmas
A photo of a wooden, turquoise-wheeled cart/stand with a sign labeled Covent Garden. The stand has a floral display on it, largely green foliage with a few red, white and burgundy flowers. The focus of the arrangement is a small evergreen tree. A photo of the Covent Garden Christmas decorations. In the foreground are a Lego Santa compete with bell and sack, with a smiling red-nosed rudolf. They are surrounded with red and gold decorated Christmas trees. In the background gigantic golden bells and red baubles hand from the ceiling of the market.

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
A photo of the outside of a red and black brick building with a large black grated door. At the top corner of the door is a metal circle with the logo of the The Traitors TV show. A photo of a black and white lanyard. The lanyard card is bright red with a black flower and the word ‘ORCHID’. A photo of a long wooden bar behind red ropes. There are two bar men behind the bar, and a trio of black-dressed crew members in the corner of the photo.

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
A photo of an approximation of a poke bowl - white rice, mince, Bok Choi, pea shoots, cucumber, shiitake mushrooms and black sesame seeds. A photo of an approximation of a poke bowl - white rice, mince, Bok Choi, pea shoots, cucumber, shiitake mushrooms and black sesame seeds with a very flat runny egg on top.

Weekend in York for the third wedding of the last three weeks 😂. I didn’t realize how pretty York was and the gang went out for an incredible hotpot the night before! #York #Scenic #HotPot
A photo of a medieval church/cathedral in York. The sun has hit the church tower while the rest of the building is in shadow. A photo of a bubbling hotpot - the pot split in two with two different broths. Inside each half are an array of green leaves and mushrooms. Surrounding the hotpot are half full pots with raw potato, lotus root, Pak Choi, Chinese leaf and fried pork belly. A photo of a medieval guard gate in York. It is in the middle of the road, with a bridge to one side that allows traffic through. The square structure is imposing with two small towers and a number of slim cross-shaped windows.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Relax
A photo of the ocean at sunset, the waves washing against the beach. The sunset of orange, the light reflected in the wet sand where the waves have drawn back from the sand.

Last sunset in Greece 😭 #Sunset #Nature #NaturePics #Holiday #OceanPics
A photo of the ocean at sunset. Most of the sky is a dark blue with only thin strips of orange and yellow on the distance. The sand is a deep grey and the ocean a dark blue and filled with waves, white foam washing up across the sand and shimmering in the dying light.

Book #18 of the #BookJourney and omg #RiversOfLondon is so good! It’s so funny and eerie at the same time I am so glad that there are like ten more books because I’m going to need them all! #BookSky #Fantasy #Books
A photo of Ben Aaronovitch’s novel Rivers of London taken on a sunny day in front of a man-made stream of clear water surrounded by rock and lawn. The top half of the book is taken up by the author name and title. The bottom half by a vague and crowded outline of part of London. Part of the outline is splattered in red, with two dotted red lined leading away from the apparent blood splatter.

Book #16 of the #BookJourney is complete! We’ve finished #JackOfThorns by #AKFaulkner with magic, mystery, gods and a queer love story haunted by an uncomfortable antagonist named Jack. #BookRecs #Fantasy
A photo of the front cover of A.K Faulkner’s Jack of Thorns novel. The cover is moody and atmospheric with the stark white title standing out against spiky foliage. In the center of the page is a sword, entangled in roses and thorns.

Damn Princess and the Frog was right #beignet’s do slap and slap hard. It’s like a chouxier donut! Why did no one tell me! #Pastries #Cakes #Holiday #Delicious
A close up photo of a white plate sat on a red napkin on top of a (fake?) marble table. On the plate is a delicious looking beignet, a fried donut-like square dusted liberally with icing sugar.

Here in Kos for a full day and a half and I’ve only finished one book. I must be off my game 😂 given that three of the wonders relate to Greek gods/Titans this one seems appropriate for the setting. #BookJourney #NonFiction #SevenWonders #BettanyHughes
A photo of Bettany Hughes book The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World taken against a sandy background. The top half of the book is bright orange and shows the pyramid of Giza, the bottom half is deep blue and shows a reflection of that pyramid.

It doesn’t count as part of the Book Journey because it’s a re-read but I’m sick and I’m grumpy and I’m hurting so it’s comfort read time and there is nothing more comforting than a Pratchett. #TerryPratchett #Discworld #SamuelVimes #ComfortBooks #Fantasy #Thud
A photo of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel, Thud held in front of a filling bath filled with bubbles. Terry Pratchett’s name is written in gold and the cover shows a chessboard with a detective/guard holding a flaming torch and surrounded by stone chess (Thud) pieces. One piece is knocked over,red liquid splashed across its forehead and splattered near the guard’s feet.

The blue and purple embroidered frog has been joined by a pale blue and orange frog. This second frog is crouched, it’s legs a pale blue, it’s back and head orange. Pale blue French knots have been added along the orange body to give the frog little warts.
