Oh wow, this is amazing! So glad you enjoyed the book.

Just finished this wonderful book - Chasing Fog by Laura Pashby @circleofpines.bsky.social. As is tradition with me these days I have also drawn the author as an accompanying bookmark, (perhaps a hint of likeness, sorry Laura) #books #nature #travelwriting #booksky 📚💙

Happy Valentine’s Day, bookworms ❤️📚

'Will the hive survive, will the gladiolas
Succeed in banking their fires
To enter another year?
What will they taste of, the Christmas roses?
The bees are flying. They taste the spring.'

Sylvia Plath died on this day in 1963.

Van Morrison’s ‘Into the Mystic’ was originally into the misty - thanks to @circleofpines.bsky.social book Chasing Fog for that little gem. #mistymorning #naturewriting

On my way to London to celebrate @notrollergirl.bsky.social and this gorgeous book 💞

I read a proof of Deep Cuts and absolutely adored it. 🎧

On my way to work in the bookshop…

I’m a little bit of an Anne Tyler fan so I was wildly excited when @vintagebooks.bsky.social sent me a proof of her upcoming novel, Three Days in June. It’s pure delight, out on 13th Feb. ✨

A paperback copy of the Haunting Season short stories collection is held up. The book has gold and green leaf patterns with a candle in a candlestick holder. Behind the book are the silhouettes of trees on a foggy day.

I’m reading The Haunting Season while it still feels a little spooky and cold out. But I need to get a move on as the light of Spring is upon us! Hope you like the foggy pic 🥰

Hello! 👋 Likewise!

Ooh! I love!

What are you reading, #booksky? I’ve just finished this and it was a total treat.

Always happy to bring the fog ☁️☁️☁️

I resisted, and then gave in 😆

Hiiii. It’s taken a while but I made my way over. Hoping to find bookish folks and maybe even some fog fans. Anyone around? 🤍
