NEW CAMERA DAY!

It’s 2:06 am and I have the need to read Penelope Lively’s The Ghost of Thomas Kempe. I last read it when I was about 9 years old. It’s not available on Kindle and my library doesn’t have it 😭 #booksky

And now I’m just not coping with anything and on the edge of meltdown. I’m off to bed 😭😭😭😭

REVIEW: 💙📚⚡️ #BookSky - Gentle cosy Scottish mystery satin Royal Deeside, with 4 vastly different women united by changes in their lives.

After a mysterious death at an ancient battle site, DS Harriet March's latest investigation sees her spending the night in a 'haunted' manor house. But that's OK, Harriet doesn't believe in ghosts... Arriving in ebook, paperback and audio book on the 15th of May 2026! #cozymystery #KindleUnlimited

My 18 year old baby car passed his MOT today! 🙌🙌🙌

💙📚⚡️ #BookSky - Reading A Killer Guest List is like the Olympic Bobsleigh event - fast paced with more twists and turns than you can count - enjoy the ride! Darkly funny, incredibly twisty. The most fun book I've read this year, watching a murder mystery weekend get too real in unexpected ways...

💙📚⚡️ #BookSky - REVIEW: Murder in a Cornish Teashop - new cosy series from Fliss Chester has everything you want in a modern day set cosy mystery. When Fliss Chester is the author, you know you're in for quality storytelling, and the novel keeps you guessing right to the end.

🎂🎂 HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY 🎂🎂 FatBrian (BSqueak, The Fat One, Squeaky B, Squish, FurBall) is 8 today! From tiny bean to 18 pound bowling ball (it’s all floof, honest!), he’s had me wrapped around his paws. Steak dinner is in his future!

Another ridiculous accident: poked myself in the eye moving my hair out of my face. Scratched cornea.

UPDATE: I took my books to be signed, and then mentioned his shoes, and he laughed and said he wore them especially as they’re in show when he was in the panel.

URGENT: Are there any neurotypicals around that can answer a question????

BLOG TOUR: The Missing Wife by Donna Gowland. Mary Shelley turns sleuth in this cosy historical mystery that blends have and fiction reimagining Shelley's early life and travels. 💙📚⚡️ #BookSky

By day: cute cats and cosy books and log fires By night: SHOOT THE FUCKING PUCK AND STAY OUT OF THE FUCKING PENALTY BOX #GoHabsGo #midnighthockey

FatBrian would like everyone to know that The Big Moult has started, and so everything I own will be covered in FatBrianFur until July and beyond.

REVIEW: Murder at the Duomo by T A Williams. Retired police detective Dan Armstrong investigates the death of an arms dealer in this gripping cosy mystery set in Tuscany.

Anyone with the #ADHD #Autism #perimenopause going down the HRT route? Does it help? Talk to me!

One day, I will actually write, instead of reading about writing.

Where there is sushi, there will be a FatBrian.

And while it’s stormy outside, I’m off to Italy with @tawilliamsbooks.bsky.social Many thanks to @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social for the @netgalley.bsky.social ARC! Review coming soon! #booksky 📚💙

I think they want something…

If anyone needs luck right now, UncleEric has his paws crossed for ya.

I spent 4 years waiting for an autism diagnosis. I got an autism diagnosis. Now I don’t know what to do. I have nothing to wait for. I feel stuck.

“Get the ball!” “What’s a ball?” Three pooches. Possibly one braincell.

Happy #TongueOutTuesday from FatBrian.

GOALIE FIGHT!!!!

Visit your libraries, people! And they often do audiobooks and ebooks if you can’t physically get to a library. In the UK, authors get paid per loan, so you can legally get free books AND support authors!

47 and just officially diagnosed autistic by the NHS. Was told I’d have to wait 6-8 weeks for an answer. It came in 2 weeks - “when we know, we know”. The diagnosis probably comes as no surprise to anyone that’s met me. I’m ADHD, autistic, and perimenopausal. I’m a delight to be around 🤣

Lmao the cliff to end this game is funny as hell man

I assume they’re all narrated by Brian Blessed.

It came up in my FB Memories that 5 years ago, I had to bath FatBrian and he made me feel like the worst human that ever humanned. #caturday

Well, that’s the journaling plans put on hold. Thanks FatBrian.

Is grimace pronounced “GRIMis” or “grimACE”?

Updated #bookbodycount. I mostly read gentle #crimefiction or #cosymysteries. It’s carnage 🤣

Yes, I am using FatBrian as a background for my book posts. He’s thrilled about it.

My hockey obsessed brain is avoiding all the hockey based romance books around at the moment because I just know I’ll be focussing on the wrong thing 🤣

For some reason it’s nearly 3 am, and I had flashbacks to Tribe perfume. Have I woken up in the 90s?

So next week I have to see my psychologist and explain what I mean when I say that the name Emily smells of warm mould.

I’m doing nothing all day except stare into the fire.

It’s not long now until our SOLD OUT @stockportnoir.bsky.social event and we’re delighted to announce the line-up for the first of our panels - Debuts! Mel Pennant, Sean Watkin, Rebecca Philipson and Sarah Mellor will be discussing their debut crime novels with Guy Hale.

Knocked myself out when opening my car door… Or scratching my cornea when decorating the Christmas tree…

Snow days are perfect for journaling my reads by hand in fountain pen, in front of a log fire.

This isn’t published until mid February but for some reason was made available through my local library BorrowBox service. Use your libraries, people. They’re not only for books published ages ago! #booksky 📚💙⚡️ #loveyourlibrary

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

It’s 4:30 am and UncleEric has remembered we have touch activated lamps. I’m guessing it’s breakfast time?#CatSky

#knitting cables for the first time in my life. Impressed that that actually look cabley.
