In This Moment

It's hard to believe the end of the year is so close. The last few months have somehow managed to both drag their feet as they stumble by lethargically and fly past in a busy blur. I am bone tired. But I feel like so much has been achieved. At home, we have renovated both [...]

In This Moment…

Outside my window… the sky is grey, muting the last of the summer sun, and there is the slightest chill on the air, promising autumn. The world teeters; ready to fall. The pause between the intake of breath and the exhale. I am thinking… that it is a strange thing to long for autumn, to [...]

For Today…

Outside my window… the sky is dark, grey and heavy with snow, the setting sun sending up a strange glow through the impenetrable cloud. White blankets every surface and there is a stillness in the air. The pause between the intake of breath and the exhale. I am thinking… that I love nothing more than [...]

My little reading buddy is very needy this morning. Not content to curl up next to me in her usual manner, she’s sprawled herself right across my lap. She’s not as small as she thinks she is! 😂
Breakfast in bed makes for a good start to Good Friday. 😉
“I realise how in the ordinariness of the everyday the steadfastness of love is revealed.”
I love fantasy fiction but it often seems like the books that are front and centre in the genre are nearly all penned by white men. One of my reading goals for this year is to consciously seek out fantasy books written by a more diverse range of authors, including those from Global Ethinic Majority, female, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. I’ve discovered some great books already but N K Jemisin’s The Killing Moon has really stood out to me so far. The world is vivid and complex in scope, the characters compelling and the writing immersive. It’s one I find myself fully engrossed in, forgetting I’m reading at all and not wanting to put down. I’ve never read any of Jemisin’s work before and had never even heard of her until a few months ago, which feels shameful now I’m experiencing how exquisite her work is. I’m incredibly excited to dive into the rest of her books!
“I am terrified and I am terrible. I am fearful and I am something to be feared.”
Well folks, I don’t know about you but I am finding the world fucking exhausting. But I’m trying not to let that exhaustion get the better of me.
