One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Totally agree! Fiction represents the times we live in (and the catharsis required to survive it) – and lord knows we need the allegory of evil being defeated again and again!

Ooooh goooood! Xx

I loved this series! Every character an arc, every character a soft broken centre!

Please will you add me Anne? Huge thanks 💖

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books

I loved The Bee Sting!

Good morning, here’s snow on Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) from my garden, looking over the estuary—third mountain on the right! 🏔️
