I have these. They are excellent.
Even if you don't read tarot, that's a LOT of gorgeous art to sit and go through at your leisure.
Sometimes, I'll just shuffle a deck and enjoy the pictures one at a time - very meditative. Would highly recommend.
The world is a scary place right now. Read. Listen. Practise empathy.

Pls sign & share. I grew up under this law. School never mentioned lesbian or gay life or relationships, somehow everyone was still called a poof or a lemon though. The only time school mentioned it was telling us about "the gay disease" (HIV). Really. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

I'm a firm believer that when two people who value the Oxford comma find one another, their relationship is destined to be fulfilling, beautiful, and everlasting.
My life as a writer is mainly just finding endless hacks that trick my brain into writing.
Seriously, that damn thing throws up so many obstacles.
Congratulations!!!!!
My Nan would have been 100 today.
Just thought everyone should know.
The *Thoughts* this is producing in my house! 😂
I'd most like to be a pirate, personally, but I'm not a man so I don't know if that counts.
Another detour. Re-read the Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. I love this play. Personal life-goal is to get to be Lady Bracknell at some point. Or Good-heavens Gwendoline. Nice quick read.
Slight detour to Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. Very timely read, especially in combination with Utopia for Realists and Factfulness. Lots of research in favour of slowing down, UBI, less testing in schools and no more surveillance capitalism. Recommend for anyone wanting to rebel against our times.
It's STILL raining. Now there are ducks in the field.
Ducks are noisy.
it's cold out, please remember to winterize your greyhounds
The rain really needs to stop now please - it has rained so much and for so long, that it's leaking down the back of my fireplace.
This is miserable.
Send bread.

Pile of books being held on my hand in Wonderland Bookshop. From the top: The Golden Monkey Mystery The Night I Borrowed Time New You For Ever Arcana: The Lost Heirs
Lovely books ❤️
My coffee maker broke.
I am not ok.
So far this is turning out to be one of the less good birthdays I've had, can all of youse buy my book or something to make me feel better
A UBI would fix me
So, I've not looked at the shop for a bit, but do grab Abraxus Elijah Honey, Green Laughing, Adventures in LovE, and/or Cottonopolis while they're there.
I'm probably forgetting loads of what I've read right now, but my brain is mush from plotting my next thing...
Anyway, buy books yay.
Absolutely! Some of the non-historical authors want to make a decision about staying or not once the warehoused stock has gone, and some are staying with us as print on demand as well, so anything in the shop is available while it's listded 👍
Once again I am shouting
My Dreamcast asking me to set the date, and showing the Japanese launch date of 27th of November 1998.
"Dreamcast", a haiku
Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."
Some days, a Fisher and Donaldson fudge donut is the only thing that'll help.
I am eating a Fisher and Donaldson fudge donut.
These things are Idunn's apples, ambrosia, the food of the gods. And I get to be alive at the right time and place to eat them.
Daily reminder to count your blessings. 🍩
Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.
Which children's book are you looking forward to reading this year?
After reading Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, Husband found a way of getting my PS3 controller to work with the PS5 & my laptop, and now my tiny, prematurely arthritic hands can play games comfortably again.
Point is: Write your book. You don't know what real difference it might make.❤️🎮📖
