A good way to spend a few hours. Those guys ⭐️

Spending some time with a book that I was completely obsessed with when I was a kid.
Titan: The Fighting Fantasy World by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, edited by Marc Gascoigne.

Ringing in the New Year in the least relaxing way. I don’t think a film as ever made me this tense before!

I am a total sucker for other peoples reading lists and book recommendations, loved reading this, the urge to discover (and now stock) books that could really connect with people is never ending
“This is what I do: I go to a bookstore, pick out books, take them in my hand, buy the ones that call to me, and lose myself reading them. Even on my business trips, I can't feel at ease unless I have several books in my bag.” 💛

I’ve been waiting for the right time to read Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger, illustrated by Rovina Cai. Currently stuck on the sofa under a duvet and this book is wonderful, absolutely my kind of story to get lost in.

So, so happy to be at home for the next few days with my kids. To be a single mum and managing to pull this off, it makes me feel immensely proud and grateful. Wishing everyone a peaceful time. X
