Good morning, all! This one always makes me smile because it's such a good argument for following your own curiosity wherever it leads, down the obscure shelves and the unexpected recommendations, and the books you pick up for no reason you can quite explain.
Have a Fabulous Friday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

Good morning, everyone!
There's something quietly encouraging in this reminder that no single story has the final word on anything, and that the best response to a version of the world you don't recognise is always to add your own voice to the conversation.
Have a Terrific Tuesday. Take care and stay safe. 💙
Good morning, my lovelies. It's Friday!
There's something so satisfying about a quote that gets it exactly right, and this one does. A truly good book isn't just something you read, but somewhere you actually go. Coming home to one at the end of a Friday is one of life's better pleasures.
Have a Fabulous Friday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

There's a weather that suits every book, I think, even if we don't always get to choose it. Some stories want grey skies and a blanket and the particular hush that comes with rain on a window. Others want full midsummer heat, the kind that makes you read slowly because moving feels like too much effort.
What's your ideal reading weather?
🌧 Stormy and dark
❄️ Cold winter night
🌤 Sunny but quiet
🔥 Curled up beside the fire

Good morning, my lovelies! We're properly into June now. The afternoons are supposed to be long, warm, and unhurried. I don't think Germany has received the message yet. Or at least, my little corner of it hasn't!
Have a Terrific Tuesday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

One year ago today, Daffodils and Dreams quietly arrived in the world, and I'm not sure I've entirely got over writing it yet! 😆
It's the fourth book in the Brodyr Alarch series, and my Rapunzel retelling. Daffodils in Welsh tradition are stubborn, bright things that push up through the cold without asking permission, and that felt exactly right for this story.🌼🦢

What's your favourite fairy tale? It can be a book, a film, a series, a short story, anything counts. And bonus points if it's one that genuinely surprised you, that took a story you thought you knew and turned it into something you hadn't seen coming.

Welsh lakes don't sit still in the old stories. They swallow villages, hide kingdoms, give and take back gifts on their own terms. The water remembers everything, and it decides what to return.

Happy Folklore Friday, and this week, we're talking about Blodeuwedd! 🌸
She's one of the most fascinating figures in the Mabinogion. Created from oak, broom, and meadowsweet by two magicians to be a wife for Lleu Llaw Gyffes, because his mother had cursed him so that no human woman could be his bride. She had no say in any of it.
She's stayed with me for years, and I suspect she always will.

A Blue Moon & a Micro Full Moon on the same night: returning twice, & still keeping its distance. In Welsh mythology, the moon was never just a light in the sky. Tonight, that feels very near.
Drop a moon emoji in the thread if you caught sight of it 🌕
