Very late on my May reads. Raced through Bloodmarked despite having almost pretty much forgotten what happened in Legendborn, but it was so good I didn’t even notice all the extra stuff until I was half way through. How to die famous really made me think about my lowkey obsession about 1/2

My monthly reads. I love that @thestorygraph.com is actually making me read more than I usually would. Both my monthly reads were devoured by my kiddo. She loved A Tempest of Tea, so I guess it just wasn’t my cup of tea 🤣 (pun intended). Needy little Things is an amazing debut. #YA #Books

Saw a couple of these on my timeline, and I do love a good graph. I may have to read more than 1 book a month though. Having said that, it was a good ‘un. So many different layers of storytelling, such rich world building. #storytraphapp #storygraph YA #Fantasy @franceshardinge.bsky.social

Day 1 of #campdichotomy @writemagic.bsky.social Before starting any good challenge one must tidy up, and make a pinboard and world building pocket, as well as a desk tidy for my laptop and keyboard etc. #writinggoals #WritingwithADHD

I realised I needed to go back to my writing plan and outline to be able to set my #writinggoals for #campdichotomy over at @writemagic.bsky.social while also respecting my #ADHDgoals and it seems far longer than I imagined 🤔😤

Ridiculously proud of my first #Tillyandthebuttons creation #SewingStevie Having said that things I learned:
1) Read the instructions
2) Local shop = great customer service, but less choice
3) Read the instructions
4) Tilly and the buttons has an abundance of instructions, pictures & vids

I’m currently purralyzed can’t possibly get the dinner on, so my partner texted me to gently push the cat away. Taytay McFaefae was suitably aggrieved. #CatLife #WasWriting

Welcome #UKKidlit writers, agents and everyone else around. I first wrote an intro post about a year ago, but there was no one here except for me, that man who we shall not mention now, and bodega cats. I am sooooo glad you’ve all turned up.

Why do I only spend an hour or so on the beach? Because today as I was reading about the forest as a water pump, two big waves washed over me, my book my towel, everything. #booksky
