There’s nothing wrong with that, we all squirrel away extra books for the coming months ahead, even if we don’t get round to reading all the ones we buy 📚🙂

Popped to the garden centre today. The bird food section comes highly recommended, the birds even shop there themselves.

Visually impaired version! There was a bright moon riding high in the sky last night, but this morning all is a dense, dark dove grey with just a hint of dawn in the form of paler patches behind the castle, which seemed to be pushing upwards like strange mushrooms

I remember this episode well, I must have watched it a thousand times and, to this day, I couldn't relate more to Alan Harper.📚

#Booksky #TwoAndAHalfMen #ReadingCommunity #WritingCommunity

Episode from Two and a Half Men.

Alan and Charlie Harper are in a bookshop and Alan is having a breakdown:

Look at them all. They're mocking me.
I haven't read any of them.

There's not enough time. There's too many books and not enough time.

This is another fabulous and very clever storyline by @jennikeer.bsky.social

The House of Lost Whispers
by Jenni Keer

Attached is my 5⭐️ #BookReview which can also be read in the ALT Text

#BookSky #Book #Reading #Titanic #HistoricalFiction #WW1

book cover of The House of Lost Whispers by Jenni Keer with white and pink roses on left and right and a small Titanic glass souvenir beneath showing an outline of the famous ship

my five star book review is below

This is such a clever storyline The House of Lost Whispers by Jenni Keer with wonderful characters of Olivia and Seth.

What if a disaster had been avoided, what ripple effects of different decisions and events could then shape the lives of so many if there was also a parallel universe.

Could justice be served, and could true love prevail, if by chance there was a link between both where contact could take place? Or is the divide of both realities too great and heartache and loss the final outcome for all concerned?

Visually impaired version! In the early hours, although I couldn't see the moon through the dense cloud, the whole sky was a strangely light marbled grey, illuminated from above. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Visually impaired version! A dark, pinkish-pewter grey sky, the black hedges starred with pinpricks of light from the street lamps and the only sound the very distant hoot of an owl. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Happy new week! A nice bit of sparkle to start Monday off with. Taken this morning at the base of Glastonbury Tor, shortly after sunrise.
