London traffic yesterday 🐴

Just hanging out in the library with Hozier and some unicorns. (Serious study, albeit a bit of a side quest)

When you accidentally attend an eighteenth-century dancing lesson and accidentally buy a biography of the Duke of Wellington #history #amreading

Early bird catches the moon, the owls, and some time to read about whisky and taxes. Fun times.

Nothing says Thursday like coffee cake and an article on illicit whisky in the long eighteenth century. Let the dissertation commence 🥃

Hairdresser time equals a perfect opportunity to catch up on some ARC reading. This eARC of @lorajones.com’s ‘The Woman in the Wallpaper’ is glorious so far and the illustrations are 👌🏻 (gifted / PR product) #amreading

POV: you’re thinking about POVs and persons.
I always thought third was my favourite, but I’m learning to love others.
A new character materialised earlier this week and she wants this novel to be first person. She also wants to address the reader directly, and kiss the antihero #amwriting

Coffee of the day. More coffee plotting. Thinking about carriages and coachmen. And library books.

Cake and plotting 👀
At the wonderful stage of a novel where all the potential is visible and none of the plot holes 😝

Daughter’s history homework. Genius.

Flashes of colour in the frost this morning. Helping my thoughts on Frankenstein, Walter Scott, and piracy.

Incentives to finish this essay: some fabulous historical fiction ARCs. Halfway through Sycorax, which is a sensory wonder so far, debating whether to go for revolutionary wallpaper or Victorian art mystery next?

Obligatory snow picture. Very helpful for Frankenstein reading.

How I spent my Saturday: looking at the Duke of Wellington’s false teeth. Nice.

Hello Bluesky. Here for history, art, books, and writing.
