Threads loved my latest cauliflower, so I thought I'd share it here too! So far, people have saved it for tattoo and bouquet ideas! As an Art Nouveau lover, it's probably one of my favourite ones! #gardening

The way that Keres unwinds her story may appear confusing at first, but it's a really impressive way to convey amnesia and the fall out from trauma and illness. It married up well with the grief representation and pure heartbreak of this story. For a short story it packs a massive punch! #booksky

Reading The Rot in Our Ribcages, or any book by Macabre, feels like drinking a decadent glass of wine, sitting upon a throne, styled in jewels and fine silk. Every page turn brought more poetry and finesse. I will never be over how beautiful every element of this book is. It is artwork! #booksky

Meet Delphine! Which personality trait gets you most excited? "Delphine gulped; the light touch of their hands meeting had sent a shock through her core. Nervous, she struggled to listen to Sarah when all she could think about was feeling Sarah's hand work its way over her body." #booksky

Artwork of Delphine, a woman with brown wavy hair and green eyes. She has freckles and dark red lipstick. The text around her reads:
Delphine, protagonist.
Certified yearner. Scared of the dark. Comes into power. Hardcore yearned. Aries energy. The chosen one. Dream walker. Queer. Loves the moon.

I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed this book. The FMC is stabby and strong, she's adult aged and thrown into the mix and doesn't back down with anything. The dragon mind connection is so much fun, one of my favourite dragon characters ever! Highly recommend this fantasy read! #booksky

Heri of god's and talons by rose caruso. Tropes; mind talk, hidden powers, stabby fmc, Norse mythology, portal fantasy.

This book is so enjoyable! It's just the right length to get whisked away into a new world, but without taking on a huge commitment Diodorus was my favourite character; I loved how he entwined spiritual beliefs with sci-fi elements. A superb short story that deserves to be read by all! #booksky

First light by Dan f Bispo. Tropes: low stakes, cozy sci fi, found family, disability rep. Quote: They saw the figure looking back at them, and, knee-jerk, smiled; the figure smiled back, and their brain registered it as their own face. The smile faded. Of all the people in the universe, only one of them bored Rook.

Be honest! I've included this to add more emotion to my story. Does it work or sound as bad as my brain is telling me it does #writingcommunity

Growing up, she never had anyone to teach her things like cooking. Everything she now knew was self-taught. Delphine was put up for adoption at a young age; she barely remembered her parents. What she did remember was hours of boredom and silence as she bounced from foster house to foster house. Not having many friends meant she also wasn’t able to share her joy or accomplishments with anyone, either. All she ever wished for was a house full of warmth, love, acceptance, and nurturing. But it never came; instead, her life was quiet and isolated. She didn’t know the feeling of warm embraces or laughing with loved ones until her face and stomach ached. Which is why she opened the B&B, and why she made sure that her door was always open to others. She wanted to be the anchor for other lonely souls, however fleeting their visit. Yet it was never enough, and her heart always ached, desperate for love and a familial bond she’d never known.

LCB's writing had me hooked from the get go, the prologue instantly has you needing to know more, it felt almost magnetic the way it drew me into the story. This book feels like the perfect build up to a magnificent storm, the tension is layered and takes you to the very edge of LCBs whim #booksky
