My copies of #InsideYourBrain have arrived & they're SO gorgeous I gave in and did a video 🙈🙈🙈

Two weeks today!

#InsideYourBrain is a comedic romp through brain science history: lighthearted & a bit gross but properly in-depth!

Please consider pre-ordering as it makes a massive difference to a book’s chances! Links> linktr.ee/lucyannunwin

Hi schools and teachers! If you're still looking an author visit for #WorldBookDay2025 (or indeed World Book Day Week 😅) I've belatedly decided to do some virtual visits!

I've just finished putting it all together & I'm SO HAPPY with what I have planned - it's going to be FUN.

DM if interested!

I enjoyed this book so much! It's SO original & feel-good & sweet & funny.

I loved the characters from different eras hanging out in the afterlife — just as much a delight as in the BBC's #Ghosts — and Sue’s vision of life-after-death is so fun and full of incredibly imaginative ideas.

Out TODAY!

I'm never sure about being tracked by google, but I do undeniably LOVE data, and this from my google timeline is quite motivational.

Going to see if I can manage even public transport/driving in 2025...
