Spotted these beautiful roses on a lovely sunny walk.
I love roses, especially when someone else grows them!
So cheery ❤️

"Reading is a staple of life, like bread or water ... or chocolate."
Saw this at Dymocks Hyde Park today and I absolutely agree!
Thanks to the marvellous staff there for stocking #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl
I hope readers are enjoying it with bread, water ... or chocolate!

These beautiful pink carnations were begging me for a photo with my books.
Happy to oblige 💕

They are such a happy colour of pink, I keep smiling at them now in their little vase on my sink-top.

#thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

The pretty pink book The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl sits stacked, and a single copy is on a book holder. Joni's current bookmark sits in front, and some gorgeous pink carnations and buds sit tossed around in the photo, too.

I got this big beautiful bunch of flowers after my talk at West Torrens library. Such a lovely surprise ❤️ They had a marvellous pink theme to them too!
Here I am with the wonderful Hanna, who organised my talk. Always pleased to meet fellow booklovers! 🥳

Don't you love nature?
These three dandelions were enjoying the sunshine in a field of weeds. I appreciate their enthusiasm as well as their prettiness ❤️

Another fabulous book bag!
I'd love to have a set of bookshelves just like this ❤️

I love the pinks of this geranium. Isn't it gorgeous? It reminds me of the colour of #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Here I am about to start my author talk at West Torrens library.
I wear a mask for vulnerable family. It's no biggie.

A lively crowd with plenty of great questions about my book, psychology & indie publishing ❤️
I love meeting other booklovers!

#thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

I'm wearing a black suit with a bright pink shirt to match the lovely candy coloured cover of the book. I'm standing at a lectern with the beginning of my slideshow on the screen behind me.

Quick question?
All the lovely fiction I borrowed from the library say "Bestseller".
Do you look for this when you're choosing a book?
Here's one I liked - Vicki Delaney's very pretty book cover for Tea & Treachery.
A marvellous tea & sea theme!

Beautiful banksia rose in bloom in the sunshine 🌼

I planted these against the zincalume fence last year, after unsuccessfully trying them in another part of the garden.

So pretty, and thornless too ❤️

Pretty abelia seen on a walk.

All quiet here in prep for my talk tonight at West Torrens library.
But a stroll around my garden is a must, because the number of bees there, honeybee & native, & other insects & wildlife, is very calming.
🐝🐞🦋
#thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Abelia is a pretty bell shaped flower in white with some dusky pink overtones.

How wonderful! You got in early, well done ❤️
Somebody handed on to me the first book, so I was a later adopter.
