I'm terrible with social media at the moment... But this morning my dog Artemis and I visited Fitzroy Gardens here in Melbourne and it was a beautiful start to our Sunday 🪻🌻🌼🩷

My Artemis is definitely NOT a morning dog 🤣🤣🤣

My new mug brings me so much joy 🙂

How my day started -> how I wish it was going 🤣 I've been in back to back meetings today (which should be illegal on a Friday) and having to listen to Chewie (who's visiting for the day) snoring in the sunshine nearby is definitely a mood 🐶

Things I love about Parker St. John: 1. The way she creates MC's who are flawed, are aware of their flaws, and work to change these flaws into something positive;

I tell anyone who asks that this is the best thing I’ve ever written because everyone who helped me left a piece of themselves in it. Mia beta read and helped me do the hard thing at the end. I’ll always be grateful. If you read this, you’ll carry these characters and our hearts with you as well.

This beautiful, beautiful book 😍🥹 I've waited five years to be able to get a copy of this in paperback. I'm SO happy @ksterlingbooks.bsky.social has released it, and look how stunning the cover is 💙💙

It was such a lovely weekend, managed to get to the beach yesterday with the dogs for what is probably the last time for this extended Melbourne summer

I love this book by @ksterlingbooks.bsky.social with all my heart; I'm so excited that it's been re-released! I had the joy of beta reading the original (you can blame me for *that* scene later in the book) & have always, always hoped it would become so many more reader's new favourite book.

Is there anything better than spending your Sunday reading the type of book that when you get to the end of it, you want to go straight back to the beginning and start reading it all over again?

Clive Palmer's present saturation of print, radio and television media explicitly expressing his political view that “there are only two genders” is a violation of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984. chng.it/cdvwC7QnvB

I often think about the primary school library from when I was a kid. It was such a special place and even 40+(!) years later, I can still see exactly where all my favourite books waited for me on the shelves and can visualise pulling them out, examining their cover and taking them to be checked out

Was taking Artie for final walk tonight and could hear a car coming up the road, stereo blasting through obviously open windows. At first I thought they were listening to maybe a podcast as it was a woman speaking but it became quickly evident that the driver was listening to an audiobook.
