She's here 😭 I wrote 'Mor(e) than Motherhood' when I was in the depths of postpartum depression. I'm so proud of her. And me. 🤍 Shoutout to @mldesigns.bsky.social for the beautiful new cover. #BookCover #BookSky #IndieBooks #Poetry #Motherhood #Writer #Author #HappyDance

In the centre of the image, my book proudly stands! The cover is a bold maroon. In large, white capital letters in the top centre is the title "More" with the 'e' in parenthesis. The sub text, in the same but smaller text says "than motherhood." Underneath is a line drawing of a woman's hands coming down from the title, the fingers hand softly. Her index finger is being held by a baby's hand. Their touch is soft but reassuring. The lines are a crisp cream with some soft shading to add a 3D feeling. My name is in small white text at the bottom centre, "Ruth Rostrup". Twisting around all the elements is a subtle, dark red, twirly vine. Adorned with small leaves and twirling little offshoots. It starts in the top left and spirals to the bottom right, twirling around the hands. A secret for any alt text readers: this vine will continue onwards across the cover of the next book in the series. // Above the book image is large text that reads "New cover. Same brutality and beauty". // On each side of the book are 5 star reviews. Underneath the book it reads "A unique reading experience from both sides of labour, postpartum, and depression."

Low Threshold Book Club 2025: We read a whopping 3 books! 1: A topical 🇺🇸 book on feminism. We could not stand the writing. Abandoned. 2: A romantasy. They loved it, I struggled. Took months to synch, months to recover. 3: Winner! The gorey murder novel Victorian Psycho. Finally! #libfaves2025

Book launches will always be important, way beyond the commercial gains of them. Getting art out to the world is a community affair. A labor of love for more than one. Writing is not a vacuum. #keepwriting

As women we are built to believe that the body we had in our 20s and 30s is something to cling onto, as if it can’t be as beautiful as it changes with the seasons. But what if we proved that it just gets better? #weightlifting #perimenopause

Jeg liker veldig godt å lese norsk sakprosa. Denne fortellingen er en sterk historie om en datter som fant ut hva familien gikk gjennom under krigen—kun etter at moren hennes døde, over 100 år gammel. —Side 20 og jeg er takknemlig for at denne ekte historien blir fortalt.

En bok om en norsk familie som snakket aldri om hva de hadde opplevd under andre verdenskrig
