“Ffion watched as the early darkness moved in across the sky.” Some truly stunning art of Ffion Kincarran by @franmoldaschl.bsky.social, this is what makes it all worth while. Diolch yn fawr Fran! #northodoxpress 🩵🌊

Just finished James Islington’s ‘The Will of the Many’ - I need someone else to come yell incoherently with me about that ending please I’m actually begging. The book hangover from this will be a force to be reckoned with 🙃

Happy Valentine’s Day! No matter your romantic situation, we can all agree that a book makes a great present (for you, for your loved one). Oh look! A book! It looks good 👀 (there’s also a love story in it which means this Valentine’s Day marketing makes sense 😌)

Graveyard enthusiast requiring help! This little enigma was on Holy Island near the priory - I spent a while trying to read it but couldn’t, anyone fluent in headstonian?

Well done on making it to the last day of January. As usual, the calendars across the world have glitched, only showing 31 days, whereas this month is ending on January 83rd.

There is an owl outside my window. Hello silent-winged friend, what does the cold air tell you tonight?

Life is too short to not ask silly questions! If you’ve read Abraxus Elijah Honey, I want to know: who’s your favourite character? (If you’ve got one at all) 🩵🌊

I’m reading The Bright Sword (Lev Grossman) and so far I’m very much enjoying it - aside from the fact that Arthur has black hair, and I’m here going, ‘no I think you’ll find he looks like Bradley James from BBC’s Merlin.’

‘Shelter here from the storm.’ If you’ve wondered what Eli and Tias see from their cavern on Tua’r Môr Bay, it’s this. A truly beautiful painting by Ian Howells- find him on Instagram @iantocreative

AND ANOTHER! Blackwell’s was my spiritual home as a student - and I still have all my Norton anthologies! Come say hi! 🩵🌊

I’M GOING TO BE AT WATERSTONES! Everyone who knows me understands that it’s my spiritual home - come say hi!

Abraxus Elijah Honey has been out for 12 days now. It still feels very surreal, made even more strange by these truly gorgeous reviews. If you’ve got a copy and it’s at the top of your TBR, any more reviews would be incredibly appreciated 🩵🌊

My TBR is so out of control I’ve decided to start a reading journal thing - little colour coded lists make me unreasonably happy

Ella Ruby Self @local-sea-wytch.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Anyone who likes the sea, storytelling, a fireside meeting, obscure folklore or a good ramble under big sky - come say hi (just maybe keep your full name to yourself I haven’t beaten the Fae allegations yet)
