So. I am on a book-buying ban for 2025, so I am going to make a screenshot list here of everything I’m tempted by. I have a few pre-orders coming, but no subscriptions, though I am open to swapsies and arcs (😂). I’m a slow reader and have a backlog so let’s see.
Is A River Alive by Robert Macfarlane. Jorie Graham says on Twitter: Best book l've read in decades... I don't actually know when I've read something this exciting & moving & brilliantly comprehensive & mind altering. Thank you (that’s all in the image as well as the book)

Mildly surprised to have woken up right down the rabbit hole of this work. This is really getting done, I can feel its hot breath on my neck as all the collisions start to lock in.

I know I’m right, it doesn’t feel unhinged to me but the discourse makes it seem so. 😅

Liking books does not constitute a personality. The litbros are canon-whipped baby conservatives. I could never read another Greek myth adaptation again, and it would be too soon.

Finally fixed my typewriter for long enough to get this piece finished and away. 🤞

I like gossiping and little cakes, it’s true. But I had a very busy weekend so I’ve been conducting research* from my bed all day as a rest.

Post you from a different era

1994, on the beach at Roseisle
Brunette — yes this is my natural colour — wearing the classic tartan, tweed, knit & sheepskin combo, on a beach, gazing into the distance thinking oh please fuck off.
