Posted my first DLA form since renewal in 2019. So much work, it’s like pregnancy, I think I blocked out the pain of completing it…

So excited about the proof of the second book in the Whisperwicks series by @jordanlees.bsky.social thanks @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social !

Trying to choose a grown up read but all I want to read are Christmassy middle grades. The curse of being a former children’s bookseller!

I’m not 100% sure I’ve ever seen this chap before, but I love the audacity of a celeb biography. ‘My Words Unfiltered’

Yes, my darling, but who wrote the words?

I’m going through some picture books on my IG at the moment to help find suggestions for that Xmas Eve story.

This was was SO charming:

Ooh it’s #bookpost - still haven’t read Hurricane Wars, but this was just too beautiful for past me not to preorder!

Finally got round to making last years present from our Santa day out. The youngest showed an interest. The blocks don’t fit well enough to not keep collapsing, and the marbles don’t quite flow. I have NEVER BEEN CLOSER TO VIOLENCE. And all the blocks are 1x2, apart from a couple of bases. Argh.

Finished this yesterday, not needing a review on the IG grid, but… the cover and vibe is of a locked country house mystery. It verges however on a post war spy thriller in places. Not bad, just slightly missold for my cozy Xmas mood…
