Ahh, what a lovely pic! Thank you for sharing. Do hope you and your wife enjoy the books. As a Halley's Comet enthusiast, I am little bit in love with the stamps from 1986 - have my own set. Happy reading

I have a copy of the 1935 1st edition ('illustrated by Bip Pares'). Yet another of the writers of that era I was collecting decades ago being rediscovered and republished. www.lesleyahall.net/wmwrtrs.htm (must update the note for Ertz)

In love with this new edition of Woman Alive by Susan Ertz - rediscovered and republished by @manderleypress.bsky.social
Written in the 1930s, it's the story of the last woman left in a world of men in an imagined 1985

Question: someone i know who's already a writer in another area wants to do a crime-writing course. No getting published content, they have that covered, just craft stuff. Preferably online, suitable for a UK timezone. Please do share if you don't know of one! #AuthorSky

Oooh, this is wonderful news. Some of us on our road have formed a poetry group and I shared Alexa, what is there to know about love? at last night's meeting. You go very well with wine and lemon drizzle.
We are only 3 meetings in and we will relish your upcoming guide on how to enjoy poetry

My first book is just 99p on #Kobo until the end of the month! Loosely autobiographical, it's a story of grief, dogs and unexpected friendships

This is such an honour & I love how @pussmilligan.bsky.social sums up Happy is the One

"This story of a man unravelling - and rebuilding - reminds us that life's messiest detours often lead to its most meaningful destinations."

Thank you for including it in Heat's Hot Summer Reads πŸ€“πŸ“˜β˜„οΈ

Just found these in our old road map and I'm remembering how my mum would tell me directions and I'd make these notes and tape them all along the dashboard 🀣

Just having a little cry at this...
"As much as we (and Robin) would like to be ordered and prepared, we aren't and we can't. We have to seize the moment, we have to realise that today, here and now, is our life and we have to treasure it and try to live it to its fullest"😭
