I read four pages of Richard Smyth's newly published The Jay, the Beech and the Limpetshell: Finding Wild Things with My Kids while my 5yo brushed their teeth. I didn't want them to stop just so I could keep reading. Whether or not you have a child in your life, get the book.

Guess what has its very own velvet cushion? Yup! The thing fiction (and nonfiction) #editors have been waiting for. The official Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction by Amy J. Schneider from University of Chicago Press. Academic editor here waiting to devour my copy! Because why not! 😁

My child turned 5yo last week. I thought I needed a treat. Thank you, @IvaCheung, for this most appropriate creation that now proudly joins the rest of the absurdities in my life.

I finished some fantastic coaching sessions with @tanyagold last week and came away with confidence to work through a mountain of ideas. And guess what just arrived to mark the occasion?

A fresh off the press copy of Enola Holmes, second in the series of graphic novels by Serena Blasco, translated by Tanya Gold! Couldn't be a better start to the week. 😃

It's up, finally. Late but still in time, like everything else this year. And has a special topper: the bauble holds a green ribbon that's the same size as our increasingly funny 4.5yo standing. No wishes other than for a restful end to 2022, wherever you are and whatever you're doing.
