HI this is one of my favourite books I've EVER READ and if you do not buy and read it immediately I will come down your chimney and WRECK UP THE PLACE you have been warned
🌊 🌈 Simon Jimenez's multi-award winning novel, THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER, is a sweeping adventure story, an intimate exploration of identity, legacy, and belonging and a love story to its blade-dented bone.

Day 3: favorite #sapphfic murder mystery. The Last Soul Among Wolves is second in what I hope will be longer series from @melissacaruso.bsky.social. It’s interesting, fast-paced, and I love the worldbuilding and characters. And the audiobook? Fab. I mean it’s Moira Quirk, how could it not be? 🌈📚

Thanks for everyone who's bid on the #Creatives4Sudan auction so far. In amazing news, we're at 12k. We have TWO DAYS LEFT though. If everyone places lots of little bids, I think we could get to 15k easy. The money is going to Sudanese-run Emergency Response Rooms. 💗🇸🇩 app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

I've just experienced being woken by a cat repeatedly buffeting my face with a paw for the first time.
To be fair to him, I have managed an excessive lie in on my day off. I'm choosing to assume he was worried.
