Sweet slumbers.

Image of bird on fencepost with the words : I had a choice : I could either let the darkness of the world swallow me, or I could do what I could to help make the world a little bit brighter. -Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

We can all make the world a little brighter. Be kind out there x

Thank you!

The House of Hidden Letters by Izzy Broom | #romanticfiction #historicalfiction #bookreview The House of Hidden Letters is the latest novel from Izzy Broom and as you might be able to guess from that beautiful cover, it's set on a Greek island Folegandros. I'm very grateful to the publishers Century Books UK/Penguin for my digital review copy from Netgalley. It is available now in paperback, digital and audiobook formats. Izzy Broom (aka Isabelle Broom) is known for her escapist novels and this novel sees not just an escape for her readers but also for her main character, Skye.

Ah, I knew I was doing something wrong!

Ah, thank you so much, Trisha 🐧😘

Cover of book “Call of the Penguins”. With drawing of a woman and a penguin on it.

After reading a number of very serious and harrowing books (some fiction, some non fiction), I’m enjoying this (second of the trilogy) story from @hazelprior.bsky.social!

If you need some delightful penguin content in your life, start with “Away with the Penguins” and take it from there…

Daffodils make me smile. Hundreds of them blooming under our giant oaks right now. 💛

Girl talking to a boy: I have 10 books and you take 5. What do you have? That's right, you have a black eye and a broken hand.

If we'd had problems like this one to solve at school, I would have been better at Maths.🤷‍♀️📚
