Just finished Burying Jericho by @whusseyauthor.bsky.social. Another brilliant, twisty instalment in the Scott Jericho series, with a gripping mystery, strong sense of place, and plenty of unexpected turns. Full review ➡️ www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Actually love the result! Very me. See what sort of caricature CHAT GPT makes of you, based on what it knows about your career! All you do is go to ChatGPT, put in a photo of you, and use this prompt: “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me."

Bum Bum Bum Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Andy Warhol's "Torso (Male Buttocks)", 1977 at KMSKA, Antwerp Thanks @ma-at.bsky.social for sharing 😁

It’s back. #Bridgerton

I know you shouldn’t compare, but after watching The Traitors UK, the Irish version feels a bit low-rent. You can definitely tell the budget wasn’t there. That said, I think Siobhan is a fabulous choice as host.

The delivery I’ve been waiting on for ages has finally arrived. Looking forward to this one @whusseyauthor.bsky.social

Has anyone else started Traitors Ireland?

How’s your pair hangin’? The best place to find the answer is in the shower. A steamy shower helps the nuts to relax, creating prime conditions to feel around for anything out of the ordinary - like a lump, swelling or pain. Learn how to get to know your nuts movember.com/KnowThyNuts.

Shout-out to the customer service team at @octopus — consistently excellent, genuinely human and a reminder that good service really does matter. Thank you for your help today.

I haven’t watched the #GBBO since the departure of Mel, Sue and Mary - but with Nigella joining I may have to tune in again.

Been a Labour member since I was 21. It pains me to say it, but I’ve lost hope. If Labour want to win me back, they need to be clear: tax the rich and redistribute wealth. Until then, the @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social feel like the only credible counter to Reform UK.

This is powerful. This is hope.

Wrong decision.

Spent most of the last half hour watching people carve soap on YouTube. Oddly calming.

It’s striking how little self-awareness these people show, while continuing to spread misinformation.

I never thought I’d see a time when two traitors won together. The faithful traitors. So chuffed. #TheTraitors

The most staggering thing is that Rachel said “if I was a faithful” and no one seems to have clocked it #TheTraitors

Always glad to see more gay romance in the mainstream, and there’s real charm here, particularly in the second half. For me, though, the balance tipped too far towards explicit content at the expense of emotional depth. Full thoughts here www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #HeatedRivalry #BookSky

I blame @stewarttaylor.bsky.social entirely for this purchase. Thank you. 😂

The Artist - a poetic, quietly romantic novel where the atmosphere matters as much as the story. I’ve shared a short review on how it explores creativity, constraint, and the early 20th-century art world. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

How has James not been murdered? I’d have murdered him just because of how annoying he is. I’d been such a petty traitor. 😂 #TheTraitors

Finished The Murder at the Vicarage and wrote up some thoughts on Miss Marple’s understated but brilliant debut. She begins in the background, but she soon becomes sharpest mind in St Mary Mead. And that line — “the old people know the young are fools” — perfection. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

the gays thank you #thetraitors

Repost with your home river.

I can’t be the only one who always wants #TheTraitors to win. #TeamTraitor

Finished #Hamnet and had to gather my thoughts. It’s an extraordinary and deeply moving novel - beautifully written, full of emotion, and completely unforgettable. I’ve shared a fuller review with my reflections here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #BookSky

This book is breaking me. 😢 #BookSky

Artic Fox is so obviously Anton Du Beke. #MaskedSingerUK

I’m sure Cheese Toastie is Brenda Edwards. #MaskedSingerUK

*Basement flooded* #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

Matthew didn’t just come to play. I hope they say yes, as Matthew and Stephen together as Traitors would be gold. #TheTraitors

Just finished And Then There Were None — my first Agatha Christie, and what a place to start. Easy to read, brilliantly clever, and quietly gripping throughout. Full review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Thank you for the recommendation @whusseyauthor.bsky.social.

Which one of these women will be unmasked as the secret traitor? #TheTraitors

Ellie is giving me secret traitor vibes now. #TheTraitors

I’m almost convinced the secret traitor is Fiona. #TheTraitors

My plant collection now expands to Lego botanicals. 🙊

Okay. This Japanese Maple might just be my new favourite Lego tree.

Anyone else excited for season four of Traitors UK? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My top 10 reads of 2025 📚 These were the stories that stayed with me long after I turned the final page – for their tenderness, grit, beauty, and emotional honesty. @whusseyauthor.bsky.social @ajwestauthor.bsky.social

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2026.

Ending 2025 having read 52 books and over 18,000 pages. I set myself a goal of 50 books this year and I’m genuinely proud to have surpassed it. Getting back into reading has given me space for escapism, reflection and calm during what has been a challenging year. Here’s to more stories in 2026.

I’ve built two new Lego friends. 🪴

If anyone hasn’t read The Christmas Clue by Nicola Upton, I’m selling a copy over on Vinted. Excellent condition - got two copies for Christmas. www.vinted.co.uk/items/783506...

Raided the M&S 50% sale. It’s carnage. Mad to think it was all full price two days ago.
