I painted this bookmark & decided to keep it for myself, then realised it was the ideal match for @sudhab.bsky.social's 'Nose Ornaments' @adhocfiction.bsky.social. The irony is I didn't need a bookmark; I read this gem in one sitting. I loved all 3 narrators, 82 pages of perfection. #art #AmReading

Just finished @fionamckay.bsky.social's #NovellaInFlash 'The Top Road' @adhocfiction.bsky.social . Beautifully written. Gripping as any top thriller - this kept me reading to the end. I cried for so many of the characters here, all believable and aching with humanity. #AmReading #WritingCommunity

#TheLostPassenger by @franquinn.bsky.social is the first book in a long time that I stayed up late to read then got up early to finish! Within pages I was hooked - laughing, crying & cheering along with Elinor. The Titanic scenes were well-written, felt authentic & heart-achingly real. #AmReading

Confessions of a #bookaholic :
On tidying a bookcase discovering you have 2 copies of the same paperback. One bought from a high street bookshop, the other from a charity shop.
Does anyone else do this?
I really need to work on clearing my TBR pile ...

"a beautiful book inside & out." Another 5* review on Amazon for #TheNamingOfMoths. "Fells subverts stereotypes & asks us to look a little closer at ordinary lives that are, in fact, extraordinary. Sensitive & insightful, this is a brilliant collection from a wonderful writer."
