Did I go back to the library because I forgot to get a puzzle from the puzzle swap? Yes, yes I did. Follow me for more tips on how to stay cool in your forties.

Apparently it’s #caturday on here. Here’s Skye, our quirky rescue cat, who won’t sit on our laps but follows me everywhere and thinks she’s a dog.

I wish publishers would be more transparent about this. I now assume that every celebrity book has been written by someone else unless I'm told otherwise.

Readers already balk at book prices. They want books cheap (99p, anyone?😬) The median income of a professional author income is £7,000 a year. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a... It’s *essential* the public understand the true value of writers and books. They aren’t cheap “merch”. 3/3

Fact: Editing is a thousand times better with a cosy pet nearby. Fact 2: Editing must be halted immediately when the ‘I’m hungry’ death stare is implemented.

Another fancy graphic, this time for 6 Caledon Street, my dual timeline debut novel. 💙📚 #booksky

Dual timeline book description of 6 Caledon Street.

Shows the plot points, including a sweet, slow building romance, the dusty journals of an Edwardian girl, a young widowed woman starting over, the mysterious search for the girl in the pages.

Day 3 of being on bluesky. I’m not part of the exodus, just here to connect to the book community. Lovely seeing lots of posts about books, but sneaky accounts I have no interest in are still littering my feed. Lots of negativity too, but I realise that’s subjective. Jury is still out for me.

Rebecca Hayne’s has a plan. A plan that is becoming obsessive. The centre of it all - a list that her late brother wrote when he was eleven-years-old. A list of dreams. On that list, a road trip, that threatens to send Rebecca’s relationship and her obsession out of control. mybook.to/List

If anyone wants alternatives to Goodreads, I highly recommend walking out into the fields where the beehives sit in the hot sun, and telling the bees about what your reading, which characters you love, what book still haunts you all these years later. 📚 🐝
