The Accidental Cop by Eve Koguce
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A vivid, atmospheric dive into 1990s Latvia that’s as gripping as it is thought-provoking. Intense, raw, and human. A psychological thriller that is utterly compelling. Highly recommend!

Simply beautiful. Stunning writing, powerful plot, aching love, unbearable tragedy, and a truth bigger than you can imagine. Beautiful in every way. A must read!

Completely immersed again! 📚

Just finished reading Lord Gladwin's Bargain by @laylahawke2.bsky.social, yet another fantastic instalment in her Navigations series. Immersive, thought-provoking & completely gripping. A must read!

In love with Latvia 💞

Just finished reading Finding Your Way by Eve Koguce. A beautifully written coming of age story set in Latvia. I adored Zanda, shy & uncertain, but so determined to follow her own path. Highly recommend.

World by Design by Norb Aikin @norbaikin.bsky.social
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

World By Design is a profound, powerful, and thought provoking collection that deserves to be read slowly, and more than once. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Full of sidekick energy 🦸

Just finished reading Every Hero Needs a Sidekick by L.M. Ford. Funny, uplifting & actually quite thought provoking. Aimed at a younger audience, but at 55 I can promise everyone will enjoy this!

Buzzing from another great read! 😍

Just finished reading Trusting Lorelei by @laylahawke2.bsky.social. Wonderful writing and world building, and possibly my favourite in her excellent Navigations Series so far. Highly recommend!

Nostalgically hopeful 📖

Waterstones, the UK bookshop, is thriving again. Fiction sales jumped by more than 12% last year. The article states: “In a world saturated with screens, it’s a trend that feels not just wholesome but hopeful.” It’s truly made my day. 📚✨

Squirrelly🐾

A squirrel stared me down today, then bolted up a tree & 2 seconds later, a nut lands on my head. He’s perched above me cackling like a villain in a Disney movie. Lesson learned – cute or not, Newcastle squirrels are tiny woodland gangsters with fluffy tails!😬

It’s in the details 🌖

I love this quote & keep it with me when I write, reminding myself it’s not just the moon, but how it slips across a puddle or catches the rim of a glass (wine preferably for me 😂). The magic of writing & life live in those small details. ✍️💞

Writer’s Power Walk 🏃‍♀️✍️

Paused to stare at the river today because I'd had a brilliant idea for my WIP. Spotted one of those “hello = a 30 minute monologue” types & invented a new gait: The "Nope, not doing that walk." Graceful, dignified, and 100% powered by social avoidance! ❤️‍🔥😂

Blooming 🌸🐝

Just read about a “Pollinator Pathways” project in Bristol, UK, where a littered alley has been transformed into a wildflower area for insects. I spotted something similar on my walks. Communities are creating medicine for the earth & I absolutely love it! 😍

“I was suddenly aware of how inconsequential we are. Look at nature!” ⛅️

After learning my stepdad was robbed, I felt so angry. Today I looked at the sky, recalling a line from J.G. MacLeod’s amazing book Lady Ellen. Still angry, but calmer. The power of nature & great writing.📚

Partners in Debauchery🤸‍♀️🤪

I once thought if people really knew me, they’d find me boring or not enough. But life gave me friends who saw the real me & stayed. To all partners in debauchery: to those whose hands you hold, you’re the best part of this crazy adventure called life.❤️‍🔥

Creative Flatulence 😵‍💫🍕🍷

I’ve spent days over indulging & writing nothing. Today I waddled out for a walk & the world was disgustingly radiant. This afternoon I’m going to write, because I swear I felt the tiniest spark of inspiration. Either that, or it was just indigestion. 😂🫤

Just call me Aunt Marge🎈

It’s my partner’s birthday, and between the takeaway, chocolate, and wine later, don’t be alarmed if you spot a very bloated me floating over your house in the next 24 hours as I turn into HP's least favourite aunt! Send grounding spells! 🪄😂

Becoming unused 💫

I treasure kindness. But I’ve learned it has to include me too. Realising I was being used by someone I opened my heart to hurt, but letting it continue would hurt more. No more emotional vampires! I think I’m actually growing lol. ❤️‍🔥💪

Argh😖

Today I swore to myself, I will NOT get distracted from finishing this part of my manuscript that’s been driving me crazy. 47 texts, 22 emails & 3 phone calls later & I'm now on chocolate and wine because ... well, just because that's how I roll!😂

A bit of heartache 💔

I love trees. They breathe with the seasons & endure for lifetimes, yet can be ripped apart in what feels like moments. On my walk today, I watched one taken down … once beautiful & majestic, now gone branch by branch. So sad. 🌳😢

Beautiful! 😍

I love this so much! I’ve seen & experienced so much suffering because of what society deems “good looking.” For me beauty comes from what’s inside. We’re all born beautiful, we’re just conditioned into believing we’re not. Keep shining! ❤️‍🔥💫

Remembering 🕯️

I’ve long thought my flat was haunted. Today I thought about the 47 lives that were lost here in a WWII bombing raid & wonder if that’s why. This photo is the site where my flat now stands. Holding ALL who’ve been taken too soon in my heart🙏

Respect💪

I hate emotional manipulation. Once my anxiety would have meant I just accepted it. But for the first time I’m saying, to hell with that. No more. We all have the right to be treated with respect. We all have the right to be unapologetically us! ❤️‍🔥

Awed💫

Just discovered “awe walks.” You walk & make sure to notice tiny wonders. A leaf. A petal. All with a sense of childhood wonder. It boosts health, deepens connection to the planet & brightens your whole day. I’m walking in childhood awe from now on!❤️‍🔥

Slightly hysterical with a sprinkle of OCD🤪😬

Ever since I lost hours of work on my manuscript the other week when it didn't save for some reason, I’ve turned into this mug! I'm currently on Number 8 & have a zillion different copies saved. I need wine!😂
