I would really like to treat myself to a short story, something snappy and under 200 pages, and I’ve narrowed it down to these 3. Help me decide! They’re all very different… which one should I go for? 🤔

Of all the plants in our book garden, I think my favourite by far is the Jasmine 🌿 It has lasted beautifully through winter and has filled its area completely; it’s even pinched some of the honeysuckle’s patch! I’m really looking forward to filling this space with greenery again in Spring ☀️

I’m taking a break from my Sarah J Maas-athon to read Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold, which a customer kindly bought in for me! I’ve been eyeing this up for weeks and I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in 🍄

I’ve just finished The Dead of Winter by Sarah Clegg and it is SUPERB! I have recently done some research into paganism and ancient beliefs/rituals, aswell as reading a lot about the witch trials, and this book pulled tantalisingly on several threads that linked to these interwoven topics. 1/3

Having picked up an order from @quinnsbookshop.bsky.social , I inadvertently stumbled into a spot of "twitching", walking back, by the river. A Little Egret, having some chill time. Sadly, the pics do not really show it's bill very clearly.
