Short answer: yes, book launches still work.
But the long answer? Only if you treat them as part of a system.

Aww, it was very sad Ambulance tonight.

Just been looking on here to see if Evri the crap courier is on here. Unsurprisingly they're not. Imagine the abuse they'd get if they were. They are an utter joke of a company definitely not fit for purpose.

Oh no! That was unexpected, I've just finished 25 Library Terrace by Natalie Fergie. This is what happens when you read e-books, you don't realise you're approaching the end! How sad.
An absolutely riveting book, I loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🥶🥶 10 degrees in this bedroom this morning! Never ever if you're building an extension, put a bedroom over a garage, just don't go there, you'll regret it.

Well there you go. It was my memory for names that threw me. I had forgotten the name of the 17 year old wasn't Georgia, it was Olivia. 🙄 It's been such a good book. #booksky
Right! I'm totally confused. Has anyone out there #booksky read 25 Library Terrace by Natalie Fergie. I thought Georgia didn't go to live there till she was 17. So she wasn't in the house when she was 7 or 8 she lived with someone else, & Annie didn't even know of her.

Mostly cloudy but showing some sun the weather app says, blanket cloud out there my husband says. I'm currently living in 25 Library Terrace in July 2011 with Georgia and Tess, discovering the old kitchen range and the key within it. #booksky.

So it was off with the strawberry print duvet cover, goodbye till next year, to my campervan, seasidy cover and all my summery, bright cheery covers and hello good old practical but boring check, grey brushed cotton winter bedding. ☹️

So, first time in 3 weeks been able to watch Strictly without the accompaniment of fireworks exploding and the dog barking. Instead I've had next door banging around in the background constantly. 8.45am they started, still at it at 8.45pm. Going right off them now. 🤨🤨

I love that dress Valbinda or whatever she's called is wearing, it's beautiful, so pretty. And I thought her dancing was really good. Ignore the judges. #Strictly

Much as I like the wind, I wish it would shut up now. It's making more noise than the fireworks did, roaring round the house in that aggressive manner.

My husband and his brother always call a chimney a chimley, which bugs me no end. Was in Morrisons today and heard some bloke talking on his phone about a chimley. What's with the 'L'. Does anyone else mispronounce it or is it just a Mancunian thing?

Asking my mum who's 90 next year when my grandma was born, we worked it out to be around 1906. She worked in a cotton mill all her life and then only had about 8 years of retirement before she died. She was lovely my grandma. Learned family history I didn't even know today.

It's awfully windy poos out there. Bins strewn all over the place, lying around in the road. Lashings of rain. What a contrast from yesterday.

Trying to catch up with posts about walks:
Renishaw to Staveley on the Trans Pennine Trail - September 2025. Not the most exciting walk I've ever done but it does have moments of quiet and beauty.

Do you know, Becky hasn't said anything for 5 whole years. ☹️ 'Becky Says Things' was a hilarious blog c/w stick man drawings where Becky gave us her unique take on life. I loved it. Reminded of it because I've had visitors to my old blog. No one's been on there for yonks 🤔

Friends. It was my birthday and I now have some birthday funds that would buy me a new small tablet, perfect for reading on. But...I have 2 kindles, a 5 yr old slow tablet, fine for reading on. Or buy myself a new warm jumper + something else & voucher to buy books. What to do?

I loved 'One Good Thing' by Alexandra Potter - a perfect comfort read for a rainy day. It is uplifting, hopeful, a reassuring read for anyone going through a tough time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A bit more complaining, why not! The joint in my thumb suddenly out of nowhere becomes very painful but this time the pain is radiating down to my wrist and then carries on down the inside of my arm to my elbow. What's that all about? I suspect RSI from hair twirling. 😬

Ugh I'm so sick of bloody fireworks now. 5th all over again tonight. Absolutely brain dead to spend money on the same stupid repetitive noise night after night. According to my daughter's watch our dog's barking is 90 decibels. 🙉😭

Does anyone know of a desert island we could retreat to? Preferably a warm one, sunshine would be good, but most of all peace and tranquility is sought, with the gentle lap of waves breaking the shore and a whispering breeze.
