I need a job where I can be paid to read all day, surrounded by books. My own bookstore? Or putting my library degree to good use?
Being an adult is stupid in many ways. Then I remember I have adult money.
My TBR pile is becoming a “problem” … or so I’m told. Well, Susan, the fact that you’re speaking to me while I’m reading is a problem, but here we are
How does one decide they’re confident enough to be in front of the camera for doing reels or TikToks?
Is there a gene I do not possess?
Books take you everywhere. Cats remind you that you don’t actually need to leave the couch.

Yeah I’m a Margaret that goes by Meg and I always have to make sure tickets are booked in my full name. Heck, I even had to jump through hoops with the phone company because they didn’t believe Meg was a proper nickname for Margaret.
Reading a book while your cat stares at you is like being graded on your focus.

Just published 14th January! Beautifully written by @mickeydubrow.bsky.social and is a blend of history and time-travel fantasy. Small but meaningful insights into Judaism which added depth for me.
Thoroughly captivating from start to finish. I devoured this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
(Thanks NetGalley for the ARC)
Hahaha you’re so welcome!!
Every time I start a new book, my cat starts plotting how to knock it out of my hands.
(Or chase the book light like he’s prey for an angler fish)
I currently have 2 paperbacks, 1 e-book, & 1 audiobook on the go.
I also added 100+ books to my collection. And 50+ in my kindle, 10+ in my kobo, & a few on NetGalley.
Does that mean I won’t buy new books this year?
Hell no. Have you seen what’s coming out?!

Buying another book even though the four I bought last week are still sitting untouched. It’s called self-care, look it up.
It’s Xmas Eve and it’s the least stressful Xmas we have had in years! We aren’t doing gifts. We didn’t decorate. We aren’t going anywhere. Just making a ham and some potato salad and some brownies….and just hanging out. Bliss!
Every book is a new adventure, and my cats are the sceptical sidekicks questioning my life choices.

I finish work for the year tomorrow and have two glorious weeks off. Just think of all the reading I can get done!!

I know that the people who are living in winter right now will probably hate me for this but…
….uuugghhhh……
It’s so HOT here today. And hot again for the next two days. 30°C/86°F
I’m melting!!
I do NOT cope well with heat. Anyone want to swap??

Oh I learned my lesson!! Now that I’m in, I’m IN!!
I’m about half way through. For some reason I was finding some of the writing a bit stilted but I think it’s because I was getting distracted. Now that I’ve settled in, I’m enjoying it.
They’ve discovered the secret room! And now I want a Tinker!
It’s great so far but I’m only a third of the way through the first one 😊
I’m loving it so far and I’m only a third of the way through the first book 😊
We were just saying how proud we both are for not busting out singing in the cinema. If we had been alone we absolutely would have but there were two other people there.
Right! I’m diving into the Timeless Fate series. It’s been recommended a ton of times and I’m jumping in finally!

Got to see Wicked this afternoon and it was AMAZING!!! Got me a little crush on Cynthia Erivo and this just sealed the deal.
What a brilliantly done movie!! Can’t wait for part 2.

I wish I loved anything as much as my cat loves sitting on my open book.

Oh I love Stuart little
Yeah I think I’m gonna end the #booksky #bookchallenge at just 10 books. Not because I don’t have more to share but because it feels a bit tedious and repetitive.
