World By Design is a profound, powerful, and thought provoking collection that deserves to be read slowly, and more than once. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Just finished The Impoverished Orphan by @kellymiller.bsky.social. An absolute delight! A thoughtful Pride and Prejudice variation that respects the original while offering something fresh of its own.

The Accidental Cop by Eve Koguce
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A vivid, atmospheric dive into 1990s Latvia that’s as gripping as it is thought-provoking. Intense, raw, and human. A psychological thriller that is utterly compelling. Highly recommend!

In love with Latvia 💞

Just finished reading Finding Your Way by Eve Koguce. A beautifully written coming of age story set in Latvia. I adored Zanda, shy & uncertain, but so determined to follow her own path. Highly recommend.

Nostalgically hopeful 📖

Waterstones, the UK bookshop, is thriving again. Fiction sales jumped by more than 12% last year. The article states: “In a world saturated with screens, it’s a trend that feels not just wholesome but hopeful.” It’s truly made my day. 📚✨

Squirrelly🐾

A squirrel stared me down today, then bolted up a tree & 2 seconds later, a nut lands on my head. He’s perched above me cackling like a villain in a Disney movie. Lesson learned – cute or not, Newcastle squirrels are tiny woodland gangsters with fluffy tails!😬

It’s in the details 🌖

I love this quote & keep it with me when I write, reminding myself it’s not just the moon, but how it slips across a puddle or catches the rim of a glass (wine preferably for me 😂). The magic of writing & life live in those small details. ✍️💞

Writer’s Power Walk 🏃‍♀️✍️

Paused to stare at the river today because I'd had a brilliant idea for my WIP. Spotted one of those “hello = a 30 minute monologue” types & invented a new gait: The "Nope, not doing that walk." Graceful, dignified, and 100% powered by social avoidance! ❤️‍🔥😂

Blooming 🌸🐝

Just read about a “Pollinator Pathways” project in Bristol, UK, where a littered alley has been transformed into a wildflower area for insects. I spotted something similar on my walks. Communities are creating medicine for the earth & I absolutely love it! 😍

“I was suddenly aware of how inconsequential we are. Look at nature!” ⛅️

After learning my stepdad was robbed, I felt so angry. Today I looked at the sky, recalling a line from J.G. MacLeod’s amazing book Lady Ellen. Still angry, but calmer. The power of nature & great writing.📚

Partners in Debauchery🤸‍♀️🤪

I once thought if people really knew me, they’d find me boring or not enough. But life gave me friends who saw the real me & stayed. To all partners in debauchery: to those whose hands you hold, you’re the best part of this crazy adventure called life.❤️‍🔥
