Not drinking at a Christmas party? That’s okay. Let’s normalise sobriety without judgment or peer pressure. Whether it’s for health, recovery, or personal choice, respect goes a long way. Please don’t call someone boring or force drink upon them. Cheers to everyone celebrating their own way 🩷

@bookoffdave.bsky.social and I did a buddy read for Rest Stop last night! A fun novella that felt like a nightmare wrapped up in a short story. Head over to Bookstagram for our full reviews!

Waiting on 6 parcel deliveries today. You might think they’re all Christmas gifts for others, but nope… 4 are for me. Self-care is my love language 😇🎁

Off to the finale of ‘Here & Now’ tonight. This show exceeded all my expectations a few weeks ago so I can’t wait to inject ‘Chain Reaction’ into my veins again!

Next - The glorious ‘Frank & Red’ by @manvsbaby.bsky.social. Hilarious dialogue and the interplay between grumpy Frank & relentless Red is seamless. It’s completely endearing and pulls at the heartstrings in all the right places. Warmed my heart & left me grinning throughout. A perfect read for all.

Is anyone else too awkwardly polite for their own good? I spotted an Evri delivery driver leaving my door with my parcel and by the time I ran downstairs to catch him he was driving past and instead of flagging him to stop, I WAVED at him and he waved back. Ffs.

Next up is ‘The Betrayal of Thomas True’ by @ajwestauthor.bsky.social. Totally immersive and captivating. Set in Georgian London & the underworld of the molly houses where a traitor is threatening to expose Thomas & Gabriel. A brutal, heartbreaking thriller that captured my heart. Stunning.
