Illustration of Cetacean Ops on the Enterprise D
Sharing this illustration I had the pleasure of doing for @thomasthecat.bsky.social of the Enterprise D's Cetacean Ops and the time Geordi gave a Ferengi a tour of the area. #startrektng #startrek
Aaah yay!! Glad youโre enjoying it. Iโve not see many people talking about this one yet. ๐
Book #2 of 2025 a delightfully lovely and intimate examination of lifelong love & friendship.
I adored this immersion into two peopleโs romantic world.
The book is filled with touching moments which punched me in the gut & elicited real emotion like few books can manage.
A solid โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ from me!
Hand holding the book The Favourites by Layne Fargo. Book has a pretty sequinned front cover.
#1 of 2025. The Favourites โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
An epic read of complex love & relationships & the toxic competitiveness of professional sport. A thriller, a love story, & a deep dive into figure skating.
Loved the writing style veering between narrative, & documentary, which built
up the suspense beautifully.
Happy thanking! #kidlit #kidlitpostcard #thanksgiving
Yeah a few people have commented on that. I think itโs because the spacing means thicker book, means more paper, ups the production cost. I REALLY hope the cost is because they just cost more to produce, and not an increase just โฆ because. ๐ค
Haha!! I didnโt notice it on your reply until I went a looked. How peculiar! ๐๐
Oh yes definitely! I think theโll be useful for lots of people. ๐๐
They donโt mention this specifically, but I think theyโve increased spacing around the text too so itโs easier to follow. ๐
A good question! They use a specific font which is easier for those with Dyslexia to read, along with cream coloured paper and blue type both of which reduce the paper glare and contrast which can cause text to jumble and move around. ๐

Well Iโm on the Bluesky bookish bandwagon!! So here goes!
LOVE that Bloomsbury are doing dyslexia friendly editions of their adult titles! Itโs taken far too long and thereโs still a long way to go. But well done Bloomsbury ๐
Oooooo. Hello there. ๐
