'You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we're loving it. You've got edge she never did. The future's bright, dazzling...'

her completely removing the backtrack for the next show iโ€™m crying sheโ€™s so petty i love her



Finished the new @jandynelson novel (out in September) last night and was once again, floored by the writing. The level of detail on the characters' inner lives is seriously second to none๐Ÿฅฐ Full review to come on the blog.


Does anyone still play #PokemonGO? Realised I haven't made any new friends in a while ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ๏ธ Add me! 0119 9467 0262


I think The Housemaid might be the first 'BookTok' book I'm giving 5โญ๏ธs to. I was UTTERLY HOOKED ๐Ÿ˜ฌ


Eeeppp! Such a good list ๐Ÿ˜ Delighted that I've read 4 of them, am almost done with Brotherless Night (this is my winner so far ๐Ÿฅฐ) and have River East River West lined up next. Great choices this year, judges! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽ‰

The 6 spellbinding novels that make up the 2024 #WomensPrize for Fiction shortlist capture between their pages the enormous breadth of the human experience. Congratulations to all the authors! @audibleuk @BaileysOfficial



It's my stop on @The_WriteReads blog tour for #TakeoutSushi by @greeninjapan ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽ‰ This short story collection is mostly set in contemporary Japan and is full of simple, funny tales that will make you smile and think ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต @NeemTreePress #bookblogger alexsfictionaddiction.tumblr.com/post/748482436โ€ฆ


Yup, that was a truly immersive, heady read. On to Ordinary Human Failings๐Ÿ˜ŠI LOVE that every book on this longlist is under 400 pages, feels like I can tear my way through them!

Two chapters into Soldier Sailor and argh, it's so GOOD #WomensPrize

Eeeep, bookish Christmas is here! Many 'obscure', under-talked about titles this year, which I love. Delighted to discover that I own 7 of them but am yet to read any. What do y'all think? @WomensPrize๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽ‰ alexsfictionaddiction.tumblr.com/post/744142059โ€ฆ

Was in the mood for it this morning, so started writing what was in my brain. What came out was just so... grey and depressing. Either my writing has entered its sad girl era or I'm heading for a mental break. Could it be both? Oh, the fun.


The boy has his first OFSTED inspection today. Obviously I know he'll ace his part in it but doesn't stop me being slightly anxious for him, so apparently we share emotions now.
