I don’t often post selfies on here, but I’m in love with this top, and I’m so happy with the body changes happening right now!

This book is incredible. This isn't just a vampire novel, @stgibson.bsky.social gave a love letter to anyone who has been or is trapped by domestic abuse.
It says you are seen. You are loved. And that no matter what, you can heal.
Thank you for this gift. x

The image shows the cover of a book titled "A Dowry of Blood" by S.T. Gibson. Details on the cover: It is labeled as a The Sunday Times Bestseller. The design is gothic and elegant, with a black background, red floral embellishments, and a portrait of a woman in period clothing (a red off-shoulder dress and pearl necklace). The woman's eyes are obscured by a red lace-like band, enhancing the dark and mysterious tone. The title "A Dowry of Blood" has two interlocking red rings forming the "OO" in "BLOOD." A quote at the bottom from Alexis Henderson describes the book as "Thrilling and seductive."

My amazing fiancé painted my favourite flower for me. It now has pride of place on our lounge wall. I adore foxgloves and I adore her. x

*slowly crawls out of a pile of blankets, empty coffee cups and books*

I’m still around I promise! I realise I haven’t been on here for a long time, but I really want to get back to it as this app has been one of the best support networks for me as a writer.

I missed you all!

The image shows a humorous cartoon depicting a writer's struggle. The writer, shown as a simple stick figure, is standing on one side of a large gap, labeled "The thousands of words I’ve written so far." The other side of the gap is labeled "That one scene I’m trying to get to that inspired this whole thing." The writer is looking across the gap at the scene, symbolizing the challenge of connecting all their writing to the key plot point they are striving to reach. The plot itself is represented by an arrow pointing to the scene.

Assignment time. Can you tell I’m writing horror?
A stack of seven books is placed on a dark wooden surface in front of a computer monitor with a YouTube video playing. The books are stacked with their spines facing outward, showing their titles and authors. The books in the stack are: 1. *She’s Always Hungry* by Eliza Clark (red cover with bold white and black text). 2. *Tender Is the Flesh* by Agustina Bazterrica (black and red cover). 3. *Tales of Mystery & Imagination* by Edgar Allan Poe (dark cover with white and blue text). 4. *First You Write a Sentence.* by Joe Moran (white and orange spine). 5. *The Spirit Bares Its Teeth* by Andrew Joseph White (purple and black cover with floral elements). 6. *Bunny* by Mona Awad (bright pink cover with yellow text and an illustration of a rabbit). The books appear to be a mix of horror, gothic literature, writing advice, and surreal fiction. In the background, a Nintendo Switch console with blue and red Joy-Con controllers is partially visible behind the stack.

Entering my big hair era.
A person with light skin, round glasses, and a septum piercing takes a close-up selfie indoors. They have voluminous, frizzy blonde hair with green bangs. They wear a black, semi-sheer, star-patterned top with a deep neckline and a silver pendant necklace. Their makeup includes winged eyeliner. Their expression is neutral with a slight hint of a smile, and they are looking directly at the camera. The background is slightly blurred, showing a wooden door and a white wall.

I'm really enjoying this so far. The cover is absolutely gorgeous.
The book cover for *A Touch of Darkness* by Scarlett St. Clair features an intricate design with gold ornamental vines weaving across a dark background. Among the vines, vibrant purple and blue flowers bloom, adding a touch of color and elegance. The title is displayed in bold white capital letters, partially entwined with the floral elements. Above the title, a tagline reads: "As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows—and it's forbidden." The author's name appears below the title in white text, along with the note "Hades x Persephone," indicating a retelling of the mythological love story.

I'm a sucker for sprayed edges and these are just beautiful.
A person is holding a paperback copy of *Sea of Tranquility* by Emily St. John Mandel. The book has slightly worn blue-painted edges, giving it a distinct look. A bookmark with the word "the" visible is inserted at the top. The person's thumb, adorned with black nail polish and a tattoo, is gripping the book firmly. The book’s cover features a deep blue color scheme with bold white typography.

I officially started H.R.T today!

I decided I wasn't willing to wait 2-5 years for the NHS referral, and went to a private service. It got sorted so fast once I started the private process. It's just upsetting that it takes so long for those who can't afford it.

It really is life-saving treatment

Today has been a very cosy day in with the tiny familiar.

I got lots of writing and reading done and I feel very zen for once.

Someone scratched up a corkboard and left bits all over the rug.

I can't seem to find the culprit.
The image shows part of a cluttered floor space with various items. A dark rug with some small debris and scattered items is visible in the center. On the left, blankets are draped, including a red plaid blanket and a white patterned one. The edge of a wooden table and coasters is visible on the right. There are some cables and small colored objects on the floor, and a shadowy shape that might be part of a kitten’s tail can be seen near the plaid blanket. The area has a cozy, lived-in look.

@eminog.bsky.social are you happy now? I also got a new copy of The Princess Bride because I lost mine.
Two books are displayed side by side on a soft gray surface. On the left is *One Dark Window* by Rachel Gillig, featuring a dark gothic design with a mysterious figure in red standing on a foggy bridge, framed by ornate gold detailing.

Still feeling under the weather but to be honest this is my favourite way to spend Friday nights anyway. I'd much rather be cosy than out in the noise and crowds.

Maybe I can get some writing done. If my brain fog will let me.
This image shows a cozy setup featuring a laptop on a wooden tray. The laptop screen displays vibrant digital artwork of a person with short hair against a bright red background. The lighting in the room is warm, and there's a black cat with a shiny collar investigating the setup, adding a homey feel. A coffee is also visible, contributing to a relaxed atmosphere. In the background, there’s a darkened television, floral curtains, and hints of a lived-in space with furniture and décor.

My next book is a bit different from my recent reads but I'm still looking forward to it. 'Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters' For a queer book club I'm joining next week.
The image features the book cover of *Tipping the Velvet* by Sarah Waters. It shows two women peeking through teal curtains, with the author's name "Sarah Waters" prominently displayed at the top in uppercase letters. The title "Tipping the Velvet" is written at the bottom, also in uppercase, against a pale background. Review snippets, including "Unstoppable read ... sexy and picaresque romp" (*Independent on Sunday*), and "Lively, gutsy, highly readable ... sensuous" (*Observer*), are included along the borders, emphasizing the book's acclaim. The illustration is evocative and mysterious, suggesting a vintage or dramatic tone.

Nosferatu still has me in its shadowy clutches so I've been in a vampire mood (more than usual).

I just gave the classic 'Carmilla' story a re-read and I still love how beautifully gothic and sapphic it is.
A haunting black-and-white book cover for "Carmilla" by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. It features a gothic silhouette of a woman in a dark flowing dress, standing in a forest with tall, eerie trees, creating an atmospheric and mysterious mood. The title "Carmilla" is prominently displayed in white at the bottom, along with the author's name.

My latest ebook read.

I always love how @olivieblake.bsky.social creates characters, and One for my Enemy doesn't disappoint.
Romeo & Juliet meets Russian folklore meets crime families and witches. Loved it!
Book cover of One For My Enemy by Olivie Blake. The design features a dagger entwined with four vibrant red roses, detailed with golden outlines and green leaves. A single drop of blood drips from one of the roses. The tagline reads: 'Be but mine.' The author's name is displayed at the top, emphasizing 'From the No. 1 Bestselling Author of The Atlas Six.' The title is written in bold red letters at the bottom of the image.
