I've been feeling increasingly like I'm spreading myself thin social media wise, so will be stepping back from posting so much here. I'll still be active on X and Insta if you want to find me there.

It was so good I accidentally ate some before I took a photo...

Hot sweaty walk to Devil's Pulpit this afternoon, but worth it for the views of Tintern Abbey and the hills beyond

Would have been rude not to

This is a public service announcement... Chepstow Books is one of the best smelling bookshops I've ever been in! #booksky

Summer nights ❤️

We all have that 1 friend, right? The 1 who insists on showing you every photo on their phone of their kids. So I'm going to show them every single photo of books on my phone. Look, here is one on the shelf! Here is one in the garden. Oh and one by the pool! ❤️

Sat here sobbing like a baby. Another stunning story from TJR and possibly one of the best love stories I've ever read - I was so invested. Just wow. #booksky

Why do American books smell so much better than British books?

Top mental health tip: when life gets too much and you're nowhere near a bookshop, head to the book aisle in your local supermarket. And... breathe...

I'm going in lads

Looking for a book you can read in short sections to fit around your busy life? This is an insightful and resonant collection of short stories from an exciting new literary voice - I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend #booksky @renardpress.com bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/08/13/t...

Me. Every time!

I love pins, especially book-related ones

These are literally the books that made me a reader - the very copies I read and reread as a kid. I love the fact my mum has kept them all from her younger years and still has them on display ❤️

The story of a Roman Empire slave boy who lives in a brothel, this is a harrowing and intensely vivid novel that I could not put down - think Shuggie Bain in Roman times. A book club pick I wasn't expecting to be such a good read! #booksky

Today's view from my very comfy picnic / reading spot ♥️

Business idea: a Waterstones / Wetherspoons mashup called Waterspoons. Browse books whilst you drink.

Made a friend 🧡

When the weather is fine Then you know it's a sign For messing about on the river

It's 4 years this week since I moved to a new area of the country. I was terrified at the time and yet it's absolutely been the best thing I could have done. So to celebrate I'm having a post work drink in my local which just happens to have this view. Terrible, isn't it? 😂♥️

Call me crazy, but I've just booked an early bird ticket (available to those who attended this year) for next year's Women's Prize Live. It really is one of the best days of the year. Who else is coming? N.b. I recognise not everyone knows what they are doing next June 😂 @womensprize.bsky.social

Does anyone have any tissues? This book is EVERYTHING ♥️💔 @alisonbarrow.bsky.social #booksky

Met this lovely chap on my walk tonight

If you acquaint yourself with one fictional heroine in 2025, it has to be Zofia Nowak. Sassy, self-confident and brimming with wit and wisdom, she is a literary legend in the making. @dialoguepublishing.bsky.social @piotrcieplak.bsky.social bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/08/05/z...

A dating website, like Tinder, but you swipe left or right based solely on a photo of someone's bookcase...

Giveaway now live over on Insta, to celebrate 2000 followers... get over there now, you gotta be in it to win it #booksky!

Had a gorgeous time at the Yeovil book club birthday party - the loveliest bunch of people you could wish to meet. Someone also invited @nikkimaywriter.bsky.social and @jenniegauthor.bsky.social - those 2 turn up everywhere 🙄😂♥️ #booksky

Long term followers may remember when I bought the first necklace shown here, which everyone thought said "Bea" or "Ben" 🤦‍♀️ Thank goodness I received a new one for my birthday ♥️

My favourite birthday present ♥️ Maybe see you at the airport #booksky?

I am in pieces. What an absolute tour de force - beautifully written, utterly compelling and just one of the best things I've read this year. Speechless. Huge thanks to @ratherbereading.bsky.social who recommended this so highly♥️ #booksky

BRB 😍

The sky is very blue today

If you look really closely, you can see the moon ♥️

"The book world is full of too many acronyms" my friend says. "No it isn't" I scoff, as I DNF a YA novel because I don't enjoy eARCs and my TBR is full of PBs waiting for me.

This absolutely does not sound like the start of a horror movie 😳 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This book played a huge part in my childhood. RIP Allan Ahlberg.

Today's socks seem appropriate

Exciting book post today - I love everything I've read by @amandaprowse.bsky.social and this one looks super ♥️ #BookSky

I am lurgified so didn't walk far tonight but nature still put on a little show for me ♥️

Progress update: I love the writing and am fully engrossed in the story. However, no-one warned me just how graphic it is - thank god I don't plan on ever having a baby... 😳😂 #booksky

I've just accepted a meeting invite for February 2027. Bold of the organiser to think we will still have a planet then.

These just arrived. Feeling loved ❤️

Completely obsessed with the keyring someone gave me for my birthday

5 hour stint at the hospital today. Fortunately I've just started a very chunky book...

With the perfect balance of humour, pathos and an unpredictable plot, this is an ideal summer read that I’ve devoured in 48 hours. I highly recommend this book. @kategalley.bsky.social @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/07/27/t...

When someone knows you really well 🥰

Somebody set the sky on fire

I love the second hand bookshop at Courts Garden NT - grabbed myself this today #BookSky
