I’m so sick of cooking dinner each evening. If ever I win the lottery, my first purchase won’t be a new house, or car, or Caribbean holiday, it’ll be a personal chef.

I remember learning the alphabet and making words using the lids from Smarties tubes, which each had a letter on. My mum would collect them from friends and neighbours and we would sit and make these colourful word caterpillars. Anyone else? #smarties

5⭐️ to #TheSirens by @emiliahart.bsky.social Beautifully haunting story! A tale of female strength and the love of sisters and ultimately the pull of the ocean.

I love it when a story completely removes you from the real world and throws you to the lions as you experience every haunting word that binds to your soul and won't let go.
So ... no pressure next book on my TBR pile.
Just do your best.

#TheLamb by @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social is 5⭐for me! Raw, visceral, haunting, beautiful, isolating, hungry. Definitely in the running for Book of the Year 2025 for me. Don't miss out on this one! #HorrorFiction #Cannibals #BookReview

Watched #1408 on #Prime today starring #JohnCusack and #SamuelLJackson. Based off a #StephenKing story. Not bad. Whiled away an hour or so.

You have to read the comments in this thread.
A customer refused to buy the copy of the book they wanted from our shelves because they “don’t buy display copies.” Not sure they know how bookshops work. 🤷‍♂️

There's a reptile sanctuary nearby that is offering to name bugs after your ex and feed them to snakes on V Day, and that is bloody brilliant.
