I write a lot about reading Terry Pratchett, because I love reading and I love learning. Have a read, and if you like it, you can buy me a Ko-fi (or share and spread the word).

Fiction is my favorite genre, ha ha. I tend to genre-hop and have found favorite books all over the place, even in genres that aren't my usual go-to.

I'm trying to figure out if I have a favourite type/genre of books. When I was a kid, I loved detective, I wanted to be Sherlock Holmes. These days, I'm reading more fantasy, Sci fi, and the classics, simply because I have quite a gap. I love them all. Do you have a favourite type/genre? 💙📚🪐📚

I had an excellent long weekend in Manchester in the company of great friends, excellent sites to visit, and quite a bit of Christmas.
From left to right, me (female, I wear glasses and have long blonde/ white hair) holding a mug of mulled wine towards the middle, I'm smiling. I'm the middle my friend Leslie (she also wear glasses and her hair is light brown, shoulder length) she's also holding a mug of mulled wine towards the middle. My husband, male, wearing a bright orange coat, also holding a mug of mulled wine towards the middle. The three of us are clinking our mugs.

My pick for the mystery last night was Hellzapoppin. It was such a treat to watch it with a fabulous audience. First time watching it in the cinema. Gasping at Lindy Hop scene is the correct response.

Winter cats.
On a grey cat tree, my grey tabby cat, Wilma, on the top plate, sleeping with her back to camera. On the lower plate, my black and white harlequin cat, Boudicat, facing the camera, eyes barely open.

Do you know about films on film (35mm) compared with digital filmmaking? The debate is ongoing. Which do you prefer, do people still care? #Discworld #TerryPratchett #movingpictures 💙📚🪐📚

Any rewriting of Jane Eyre whose premise is fundamentally

'Isn't Rochester the real victim after all?'

needs to get back into the hell dimension from whence it came.

In Jewish legend the Golem is a creature, usually a humanoid figure made of clay and brought to life by the power of the written word either inscribed on its forehead or inserted into its mouth. The legend dates back to the 12th century. 💙📚 #booksky
(Pic taken at the Frankenstein exhibition)
A picture from the Frankenstein exhibition in Selfridges. A head and part of a torso is displayed nailed to a stone on a green round table. It only has one hand. It's resting. The flesh of the torso is exposed, and you can see the pink spine dangling towards the table.
