Let me introduce myself: I'm a translator who has always loved books. To the point that I had my mum teach me to read at a very young age.📚
I also love coffee ☕️ so expect a lot of book and coffee posts.

I looked at that thing, a folded sheet of paper shaped like I don't know what. “It's in this crap, origami or whatever the hell it is, that the solution lies,” I thought, “a bloody solution obscured by simple folds.”

“May you always see a blue sky overhead, my young friend; and then, even when the time comes, as it has come for me now, when the woods are black, when night is fast falling, you will be able to console yourself, as I do, by looking up at the sky.” - Marcel Proust

Painting of the day - A View of Tantallon Castle With the Bass Rock by Alexander Naysmith.

The painting shows the dramatic, semi-ruined Tantallon Castle, on high cliffs overlooking the sea, with the iconic Bass Rock in the background. The ocean is turbulent and the weather dramatic.

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

This is one of my favourite Stephen King books. I can't say the same about Never Flinch though.

No, I don’t use AI. I write because I love writing, not because I want to churn out books. I love creating worlds, people, imaginary lives… writing fiction is one of the greatest joys of my life. Even if no-one read a word of it, I’d still write. #writingcommunity #authorlife

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

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.
