It was quiet last week in read along land. This chapter opens with a couple of weeks having gone by, and some increased antagonism.

I'm excited for the bumper group at the weekend.

Sat 10th. Crow brain says collect shiny treasure. What was in your hoard of possibly magical treasure when you were a kid?

I was obsessed with fifty pence pieces after reading The Queen's Nose.

Time is a little crinkly here, as the book is designed for a year where NYE is earlier in the week. So, let's pretend some time has passed, and squeeze in chapter 4.

Share your answers below, mine are in the comments.

I'm nominated in multiple categories but 'best light read' seems like my best shot at convincing people on vibes alone.

Youtuber: If you're watching this, I'm guessing it's because you're interested in changing up your career, getting into this field.

One of the morals of this story is 'find someone who will geek out about your favourite books with you.' I think that's a pretty good moral.

Me, before being published: Ooh, these awards look so cool! I can't wait! I'll ask everyone to nominate me.

Me, now published: Well this is cringe and I am picturing everyone laughing at my presumption.

Nonetheless....

When people-pleaser Jay gains guardianship of a curious tree spirit, she must find the joy in being human. But if Jay can't confront the lies and insecurities eroding her oldest friendship, she risks teaching the birch that life is about hiding who you really are.

Having fun at Flights of Foundry and got most of an ace coaster crocheted during a Chill-n-Chat.

Give me a wave if you're attending things.

University choices are terrifying, expensive, and threatening to pull besties Jay and Ash apart. If his toxic new bf doesn’t manage it first.

Time to befriend a tree and take up crafts. Cos these are problems that will go away if you ignore them... right?
