It's a good job I knew where I was going or I would have turned back...

Fab panel for #Wayword today with Tasha Suri and VL Bovalino talking about lady knights and warrior women. Tasha kindly signed my illumicrate edition despite the fact that it technically came signed and dedicated it, with a little drawing of the cat from the book

Illumicrate edition of the Isle in the Silver Sea: Vina the knight is on the left in pale armour with short dark hair and she's holding the chin of Simran, the witch, who has long dark hair.

Signed title page dedicated to me and decorated with a little line drawing cat labelled Mal after the cat in the book

Had a great time at #Wayword book festival today (Sea Shanties; Katalina Watt & Anbara Salam; Hannah Kaner & Georgia Leighton), and what incredible views there are from the top floor of the Duncan Rice library! Picked up Anbara's queer marine archaeologist book because I mean, of course?!

Had a great time seeing Marillion last night, and so happy they're still playing Gaza. "And everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright..."

I am super lucky - partner's colleague brought these mooncakes for me specifically because I had been enthusiastic about how nice they were before 😋

Why are you making my little bird pal read Dune, Finch?! I really don't think that's a suitable book for someone who ends sentences with "cheep"

Screenshot from the Finch app.

Sprout: he gets a lot of power, but it happens so fast. I like that the book shows that people have dimension and aren't always completely good or bad, cheep!

I'll say it might, it's bloody cancelled! Fortunately the previous train is running about half an hour late so I will hopefully get that one...

Really enjoyed the Scottish Fantasy panel at Waterstones tonight with @chiarab.bsky.social Justin Lee Anderson and Shona Kinsella, and am excited to read The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance!

Copy of the Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen - "behind every hero, there's a historian". The cover shows an inn at the bottom and a mountain at the top with open books in the corners and leaves and swords around the edges

Aldwych's second platform was closed in 1917 and part was covered over to store paintings in WW1 and artefacts in WW2. It's also been used to test out styles for other stations. The other platform wasn't closed until 1994 but is frequently used for filming so there is a lot of replica advertising

I have had a thoroughly wonderful day. Started off with the Aldwych disused underground tour, realised Jo Martin was signing at Forbidden Planet so did that, then Dark of the Moon, then Pride at the Dorfman at the National Theatre which is up there with best shows I've ever seen

Found my old Lord of the Rings. I thought I'd read this when I was 13, but evidence says otherwise - and I read my parents' copy first, and bought this one later so I might even have been 11

1971 edition of The Lord of the Rings with the cover that has the trees along the sides and across the corners and a landscape in the middle with the lettering in orange

Inside cover where the original owner wrote their name (Nesta something beginning with J) and I wrote mine, my age (12) and the year (199x)

Had a lovely time last night taking my parents to see @jimmoray.bsky.social in Lichfield last night, and he was kind enough to sign my copy of Gallants (the CD is still in my car stereo where it's been since it arrived 😂).

I did a workshop with AJ from the Pottery Throwdown and I just picked up my fired creation today! I am definitely not a natural at this and it was very apparent that my blob was worse than anyone other than the literal small children but I had fun
