And my books! #AMoRaR #BookSky
- characters in Skylark in the Fog deal with grief, trauma, abandonment & self-image issues
- a main theme of Imbued is the MC's journey with her trauma and CPTSD
I'm also having a menty b about encountering the expression menty b for the first time over here... 😅

Choosing the thing that is in your budget instead of the top shelf thing you really want is not comparable.
At my brokest, I signed up for bookbub and got freebies and also hit the public domain like a tornado and my kindle has more books on it than I have weeks remaining in my life as a result.

... *really*? the ebooks are like 5$ CAD or less.
If you can't afford that, save for it.
Or read any of the free stories on Wattpad, Royal Road, etc. Don't steal from small business that already operate at a loss

Very important content for those who love libraries.
It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and earlier today, we shared an article by Cat Rector @catrector.com about getting books into libraries.
Now, we have an article with Cat herself, to give her a chance to talk about her own books.

I have books to write and people to take care of. I don’t have time to get Covid or a cold!

ok but let's say we want to go *down* the stairs and disappear into the earth for a while to commune with old gods and let the above-world pass me by?
Want to walk into and through an actual Iron Age house…and UP THE STAIRS?
Of course you bloody do.
Come with me.
Carn Liath broch, just sitting quietly beside the A9 as thousands whizz by without stopping. Their mistake.
Far too excited to wait for #HillfortsWednesday
