My next cover is on HarperCollins & Amazon so that means I can share it! In Every Lifetime is a lovers to enemies to lovers tale spanning over a thousand years. I absolutely LOVE it and can't wait for readers to meet the characters. mybook.to/InEveryLifetime #books #booksky📚💙 #romancelandia #readers

It doesn’t seem to just be Craig these days. Any time there is a low score.

I loved that one. Sam Neill does good creepy. See also Event Horizon.

I love the dancing on Strictly but I cannot stand the bloody booing. The audience behaves worse than my class. #strictly

Oh good, me too!

Elisabeth (J) Hobbes @elisabethhobbes.co.uk · 6h

I publish on average one every 10 months - a year. That was when I wasn’t teaching full time. Now I’m expecting it to be less.

Elise (they/them)🇦🇺 @eliseswritings.bsky.social · 1d

Authors, in the interest of helping readers spot gen ai 'authored' books, how many novels do you publish a year?

I publish one 80-100k+ word (epic fantasy) novel, and I can only do that because I drafted 8 novels before I started publishing any. 📚💙

😭

I guess it won’t be long before we have 60 kids in a room doing self learning with programmes while one HLTA monitors behaviour and ties shoelaces. 🤬

Elisabeth (J) Hobbes @elisabethhobbes.co.uk · 8h

Yeah, we’re obsolete. It makes me so angry.

Elisabeth (J) Hobbes @elisabethhobbes.co.uk · 8h

Indiana Jones and the series of Small Walls.

Surely not? How is that meaningful? Most of my marking these days is live as the children are working so they can fix mistakes straight away.

Filled mine in. I can’t quite believe we’ll get anything but it’s nice to dream.

The best thing about teaching KS1 is that the word ‘shampoo’ can reduce a phonics lesson to chaos for 5 minutes straight. #teaching

Pastrami (or corned beef), cheese, pickle (or sauerkraut), mayo and mustard for me.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Elisabeth (J) Hobbes @elisabethhobbes.co.uk · 22h

You’d better watch out…

Did he just call Michael Bolton a bit of a pudding? #totp

I believe so. Steve Martin and Martin Short have remained friends since The Three Amigos and not invited him onto Only Murders.
