I completed C25K today! I was a regular runner at one time, but until I began this programme I hadn't done any running for over 30 years. When I started again, even 60 seconds seemed a long time to run, so I'm quite chuffed with myself. Though I am verrrry slowwww! 😂

Four of my favourite nonfiction reads in 2025 - thought-provoking, powerful, hearbreaking, and beautifully written.

Amanda Huggins @troutiemcfish.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

As well as The Blue of You being recommended by a reviewer as an ideal stocking filler - Christmas setting and under a tenner! - my writing has been likened to that of both Claire Keegan and Anne Tyler! That's far too generous, but I'm taking it! www.pickeringbooktree.co.uk/event/amanda...

Amanda Huggins @troutiemcfish.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Yes, I know I shouldn't mention the dreaded festive season, but it's only a few weeks away! And The Blue of You has been called a 'stocking filler', so now I definitely can...

Amanda Huggins @troutiemcfish.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

www.pickeringbooktree.co.uk/event/amanda... As well as rescheduling my event at Marsden Library - still tbc - I have another event lined up at Pickering Book Tree on Friday December 5th if any of you can make it! It's a free event and tickets can be booked using the link.

Amanda Huggins @troutiemcfish.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

I'm so sorry, but tonight's event at Marsden Library has had to be cancelled - due to me being (very uncharacteristically) poorly! Apologies for the short notice, but I was battling on and thought I could still do it! The event will be rescheduled, so I'll keep you posted!

Amanda Huggins @troutiemcfish.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Would love to see you at my book launch event! Please join me in conversation with Friends of Marsden Library this Thursday at 7.30pm!

Amanda Huggins @troutiemcfish.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

A week today! Hope to see some of you lovely folk in Marsden next Thursday evening! Hosted by Friends of Marsden Library - Keeping Marsden Library Open The Blue of You has some Christmas vibes, and as it's almost November, I think I can mention that safely and without apology! 😄

I can't wait to read The Blue of You by @troutiemcfish.bsky.social. I can still see the viewpoint from the landscape and feel the sea breeze along the shore, from stories that became part of it. Plus chuffed I got a mention in Acknowledgements. Buy: www.waterstones.com/book/the-blu... #ModernFiction
