Bought 'One Yellow Eye' at EdgeLit after hearing about it at the panel on scaring your audience, and then going up to Leigh and saying hello. She very kindly signed my copy and was just lovely💛 And then I started reading and couldn't put it down. Finished it yesterday, in floods of tears. Loved it.
A bright yellow book cover with a circular photo of a monochrome eye in the middle. Pink text above reads, "One Yellow Eye", pink text below reads, "Leigh Bradford". Two quotes from reviews: 'Obsessive', Nick Cutter, and 'Propulsive', Olivie Blake.

In happier news, I did the "I'm an adult with my own money and I would like to do the fun thing"...thing, and went on a BOAT.

Read part 'The Good Housekeeping Guide to Unexpected Planetary Visits, Volume One' at @tdctunes.bsky.social 's exhibition and album launch yesterday. Nice to be back in rooms telling stories, pulling a range of faces, and having some lovely people along for the ride 🥰 www.tdctunes.com/awakening
Vanessa, a white woman with long brown hair, stands in front of a set of digital images and next to a small robot on a sandy table. She's reading from her phone and has a very expressive face (performing, dahling).

Here's my booful boy 🥰
Photo of a white and grey cat curled elegantly on a floral bedspread. He looks alertly at the camera with eyes the colour of sea-glass. The sun shines through the window behind him, illuminating the tips of his ears a peach-pink colour, so that he is not dissimilar to a furrier, cuter, doubled version of the Eye of Sauron.

As someone with a severe nut allergy, looking out of the bus window at this felt a bit like I'd accidentally entered the End Times.
Photo from a bus window of a village in early Spring, its grassy areas decorated with sculptures of walnuts. The sculptures are a foot tall and possibly made of light wood.

Condolences and all the best to you, Gail ❤️❤️
Photo of a white and gray cat curled up in a perfect circle. He's fast asleep on a sofa with a dark blue blanket and white cushions.

Bees and flowers have a close relationship. If you see this, quote with flowers (or bees) from your gallery 🥰🌸🐝
Photo of a white and gray cat sleeping in a loaf position on a sofa. He is wearing a soft yellow cone with little wings on it so that he looks like a bee. The whole impression is one of softness.

Photo of Bonnet, a white and grey cat, curled up on a yellow tartan blanket on a sofa covered in a dark blue blanket. He faces away from the camera, but is clearly relaxed and cuddled in.

He is a very good boy ❤️
A black and tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel rests on a light blue cushion against the backdrop of pink and white patterned sofa cushions. His nose is between his paws, meaning his level of cute is 9.5/10: dangerous levels of adorable, be wary of sudden implosion.

Good to see @catsofoxford.bsky.social on here. Here is Bonnet, enjoying my - sorry, his - office chair.
