Am exhausted with the news from America, & really scared of the direction things are heading & we're only one week in to the presidency. Can't shut it out. How do you cope?

Love a Shari Low novel ❤️
This is her new release, I just had to buy it. As always I'm invested in the characters straightaway and I can't wait to see where they take me.
This book is also giving me a break from reading the very intense ACOTAR series!

I haven't watched the news today. It's a blue Monday. But the rain still falls and the world keeps turning and it's a privilege to be alive.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔
It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

To me, this novel seemed to be a book of two parts. The first part was quite a slow-paced women’s fiction/mystery. The second part turned into a dark thriller with some disturbing scenes. Mil…

I posted my overseas cards today & had to buy individual stamps at the PO counter. There was a man behind me in the queue & he kept huffing because he had to wait. There were only eight cards, so it didn't take that long. I did apologise, but should I have let him go ahead of me?

I was listening to an interview with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson a few days ago who said we need more stories in Hollywood depicting a solutions oriented future beyond dystopia.
