It's my birthday today and these are the books I read in March! Will probably finish another today, but please suggest more books for me to read! #BookSky

Bringing out stuff to someone who can't access your store doesn't make you accessible. Also, if all businesses could have access statements on your website, I'd know if I can/I'd want to spend money when I get there.

Going to a coffeeshop and seeing someone else working on their book doesn't count as a writing session for you. I checked.

The Kid has a Drop Everything And Read day at school, and I'd like one, too. #BookSky

I take it off and putting it back on is optional. Shorter books, I use the flap as a bookmark.

Missed a few days, but I'll always post about books. #20DayBookChallenge. Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky 18/20 The Family Fang, by Kevin Wilson

Book mail (and letters from old friends) is the best mail.

Hi, I've only read Tell Me Everything, so far. Ministry of Time, All Fours, and The Safekeep are lined up, and I think I'll read the whole list this year.

I LOVED As You Wish. Took it on an actual road-trip, didn’t want it to end. I’ve said it’s the best audiobook ever since.

As I sat in the hallway of my kid's school today, I'm grateful she's a theatre kid and hasn't asked to bring a musical intrument home.

Just wrote four pages for a meeting at my kid's school. Need to stack like that for my book.

Yes, but I usually just leave with Daim bars (heath bars) and book storage.

Went to IKEA for a side-table. Left with 4 candles, 3 plushies, 2 cushions, 1 shelf, 1 art model, and 0 tables.

‘Mum, I liked that stranger who called you ‘the lady’ instead of ‘the wheelchair.’ ‘Yeah, me too.’ Ableists, our families (and your families) hear the words you use.

Writing and typing ground me in different ways. Sometimes, I need to write and sometimes I need to type. Today is a No. 2 pencil day.

I’ve added you. Seems your stacks are as varied as mine 📚

Everything: Take a walk and clear your mind. Me, a wheelchair-user: I will not and I like clutter.

Out today and the kid saw a wheelchair sign. ♿️ ‘Why’s the wheelchair-user sitting on the moon?’ She asked. ‘It’s stylistic,’ I said. ‘If they put a real one like mine up there, it would be too much paint or tape or money.’

If you're looking for companies to boycott and/or yell at, these are good ones. Just straight up evil.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

How do you listen to the other audible library of books bought with money and credits? It says you can, but is the player available? I want to switch, but I still have old stuff to listen to. ✨

Missed a day, but I’ll add it. I should probably do the #20DayBookChallenge. Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky 16/20 Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane

Mine was ‘lost’ during a layover once. 7 hours til next next flight in an airport chair with tiny wheels. They parked me at the observation deck and told me to ‘look at the pretty planes.’ Got an upgrade because of how I was treated. But I landed without my chair and it was returned to me broken.

The Kid went to her Drama group as her British-Australian cousin Clarissa. She doesn't have a cousin Clarissa. And I'm a good person because when she presented me with her idea I stopped myself from saying, 'You don't have a cousin Paddy.'

Yep. Start 5, finish 2, add new ones to ‘current’ pile. Confuse my husband, repeat. Different genres, stack, ebook, audio, even change books based on the time of day or the room I read in. Hi.

What year is it that the word 'lame' and other ableist language still gets published in books?

I just discovered my voicemails get transcribed as text messages, but the text is the opposite of the voicemail. Context is everything.

Lorna Duff-Howie @lornadh.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Writing and plot, it had both. Got me back into reading mysteries. Also The Likeness and Faithful Place, but I like to read in order so this is first, ha.
