Heading back North after a lovely couple of days spent at the Women in World-Literature conference (@womeninworld-lit.bsky.social) at the University of Warwick. Presented a fragment of a current thesis chapter and chaired a fantastic panel all about speculative fiction!

Absolute joy at finding my first ever ammonite fossil on the beach today! I’ve dreamt of finding one for years and this is such a perfect specimen. Then went on to spot my first ever yellow sea glass. Powerful moments of glimmer when things have felt bleak ✨

A fantastic, 5-star read! In the top 3 books I’ve read this year. Absolutely devoured The Ghost Woods by C.J. Cooke 🖤 A potential contender for my PhD thesis as well… I’ll certainly need to pick up a paperback edition eventually too 🤔

I’ve had this device for a decade and just discovered I can have a personalised screensaver, which actually works as a screensaver (unlike Kindle). I’ll definitely be doing this for my Elipsa 2E as well. Kobo for life! 📚
