I don't have much to post this week as it's a rough week for bookworms - one poorly, one stressing about GCSE mocks - so here's Charlie, chilling out as usual, without a care in the world. 🙄😸 He gets more likes than me and my book anyway. 🤣 #blackcatsofbluesky #mumlife #writerlife #ukkidlit

Token Halloween gestures in our house - carved pumpkins and a black cat. I mean, he's there all year round and looks fabulous in any season, but whatever. 🤷♀️🐈⬛️ Happy last day of October!! 🎃👻
