Really pretty sky tonight

It’s 4°C outside and I’m going out wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a thick hoodie. Is that weird? Because whenever it hits 2°C I need my winter jacket & boots

Okay, it's been almost a month, but I've got a new book review on Cozying Up and it's a really good one! #BookSky #MurderMostBritish #NetGalley www.cozyingup.com/review-murde...

OMG! Ted Lasso x Paradise? Yes please! James Lance (Trent Crimm) on Beyond Paradise & Billy Harris (Colin Hughes) on Death in Paradise Christmas specials!!! 🎄🏝️

I just saw an ad for a nice “period mystery” & was expecting a fun Victorian-era mystery show or something. The ad was for Murder Before Evensong. Set in 1988. 😭

Tomorrow is release day for Maiden Voyage, the new Titanic thriller from Bradley Harper. Three female thieves aboard the Titanic after a priceless painting. A young Pinkerton agent on his first major assignment. An iceberg. What could go wrong? #booksky #thriller bookshop.org/p/books/maid...

The BBC will launch 'The War Between the Land and the Sea' on iPlayer and BBC One on 7 December 2025. cultbox.co.uk/news/premier...

We have a date for Season 2 of #Deadloch!!!!

Lest we forget

Now THIS is a sports story!!

In news that’ll shock absolutely no one… ‘The Celebrity Traitors’ will return for Series 2 in 2026! The BBC has confirmed the hit show’s comeback, as a new report reveals it’s added £21.8 million to Scotland’s economy. 🏰💰 www.geektown.co.uk/2025/11/10/t...

What a difference 24 hrs makes in the weather outside our house 😭 Winter is here ❄️🌨️

While I have been a huge fan of Pemberton & Shearsmith for years now, can I just say that Reece's #Taskmaster appearance has made me develop a tiny crush on him? He's so adorable! & how happy did he look asking for that turn-machine in Episode 9?

More book merch from my stash! I LOVE this faux scout badge that a very generous acquaintance sent me. Can you guess which popular urban fantasy series set in the UK this Fox Whisperer badge is inspired by? 💙📚

Signing off for the international break with all three points 🤩 🔴⚪ #WxmAFC

Today I found out that there are TWO Famer's Almanacs! The 'Old Farmer's Almanac' (founded 1792) and the 'Farmer's Almanac' (founded 1818). The NEWER one is the one that is shutting down, not the one with the cute, old-fashioned pale yellow cover that I'm sure we all can picture in our heads.

Following up on my last repost about turning off the “Rude” filter - there are lots of other “helpful” moderation filters that Bluesky just decided to turn on & it’s a bit of a search to turn them off (or at least turn the ones you want off). But definitely worthwhile to review your own settings!

Happy Second Publish-iversary to VIVIANA VALENTINE AND THE TICKING CLOCK! It came out 364 days after VIVIANA VALENTINE GETS HER MAN, so tomorrow I'll be just as obnoxious about my book babies :-) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/729815...

#wxmafc Three great players all born on the same day! Happy Birthday guys 🥳 (and hoping Brunty is recovering well from his recent injury)

WOW. ANOTHER INSTITUTION SAYS GOODBYE After more than two centuries in print, The Farmers’ Almanac will end its run with its 2026 edition. The publication was known for long-term weather predictions, fishing and gardening guides. Read more: abcnews.visitlink.me/terB-r

Tom Hiddleston returns as Jonathan Pine in the teaser trailer for ‘The Night Manager’ Season 2! The acclaimed spy thriller is back on BBC One and iPlayer, with Olivia Colman, Diego Calva, Camila Morrone & more joining the cast. 🔗 www.geektown.co.uk/2025/11/06/t...

I didn’t know this existed until today. I mean, I left most of the settings on “Hide” (there are a lot) but I’m honestly not super offended by crude language - Like does that include swearing? I what have I missed?

For those posting about #CanKidLit, pls consider including my newest solo picture book, I WANT TO READ *ALL* THE BOOKS? 🙏🏽📚🇨🇦 I also feature real-life Toronto libraries in my book, including one where I worked. I am Canadian & live in Toronto. Thank you so much! #KidLit #IReadCanadian

I just discovered #CelebrityTraitors a few days ago & now I’m obsessed. We’ve been binge watching it & now I need to try & avoid spoilers because I’m not sure I’ll catch up before the big finale 🫣

Wishing Elliot Lee a speedy recovery ❤️ But this also means we most likely won’t see him play for Wrexham again this season 😭 Full article: www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/255956... #WxmThirstSection

FANTASTIC new addition to the @racecourseramble.bsky.social podcast lineup! Love to see one of my favourite #WxmAFC podcasts focusing on the Women’s game as well! 🔥⚽️

If you've never visited @bschillace.brandyschillace.com's website, beware: One look and you'll want to buy all of her books as soon as you can (from an indie bookstore of course). brandyschillace.com It's also quite beautiful.

It’s ok. It’s fine. Back to my regular schedule of having my heart broken by hockey 🏒 & football ⚽️ instead 😆

Welp

AAHHHHH!!! THE STRESS!!!! 😭 Bottom of the 8th. LET’S GO! #WantItAll

New blog post! This time of year there’s always LOTS of new book releases as we get closer to the holiday season. The cozy mystery genre is no exception. Just LOOK at all these fabulous titles coming out this month! What books are you adding to your TBR? 💙📚 www.bookfrolic.com/coming-soon/...

Happy Halloween everyone!

I will now be handing out candy with a hoarse voice from all that screaming but who cares?!?! What a game!

For my writer friends... Writer Beware did an article on the recent spate of fake book clubs trying to scam writers out of cash. Read this...it's quite enlightening. writerbeware.blog/2025/09/19/r... #writers #writingcommunity #writing

😆 Someone should have warned me a few years ago that life would become like this and save me some pain. How have you guys survived a lifetime of this? But then I’m a Toronto sports fan… so, yeah, I get it. I’m built for this!

🕵🏻‍♀️🕵🏼🕵🏼🇬🇧!!!

The BBC has confirmed the future of ‘Doctor Who’ – a new Christmas Special is coming in 2026, written by Russell T Davies! 🎄✨ Disney+ may be out, but the TARDIS is staying put! 🚀 Read more 👉 www.geektown.co.uk/2025/10/28/b...

So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.

The flowers aren’t gone just yet here in Toronto even though it’s almost November! We spotted these amazing, vibrant blossoms at the Toronto Botanical Gardens last weekend!

A quick #SaturdayStack. These books are on my non-cozy mystery “favourite books” shelf & I re-read them every so often. They also represent authors that are on my “Must Buy” list. Have you read any of the books shown here? 💙📚

Honestly, this third kit might be my favourite of the 3 this season. The team looks great in them! 🔥🐉

All set for another away day 👊 🔴⚪ #WxmAFC

BLUE JAYS!! 🎉

I went to a local bonsai show yesterday & saw dozens of beautiful mini trees. But this one STOLE MY HEART. Isn’t it stunning? Any other fellow #LOTR fans think this is brilliant?

You can pry my books from my cold, dead hands. 🤭😍📚 #WritingCommunity #writers #authors #books #readers #tbr #bibliophiles

Early Friday morning breakfast outing with husband & FIL. Trying out a new breakfast place that opened up very close to us (they just opened on Wednesday!) Anyone else a fan of Eggs Benedict? 😍
