Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.
From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.

Finding myself sick for the majority of December means I’ve plenty of time to catch up on reading.
I Who Have Never Known Men is an instant favourite - finished in under a day 🤯

I didn’t think Orbital would be for me, but I was so pleasantly surprised. I’m out of my reading slump and I owe it to this small but fascinating book. It’s also the only book I picked up from The Booker Prize shortlist (and I never manage to predict a winner so I feel a bit smug about that 🙂↕️) 💙📚
It sounds like lots of you are reading this year's Booker Prize-winning book, Orbital, already but if you haven't yet picked it up, here's an extract to get you started.

An extract from Orbital by Samantha Harvey | The Booker Prizes
Six astronauts rotate in the International Space Station. They are there to do vital work, but slowly they begin to wonder: what is life without Earth? What is Earth without humanity?
