Lovely article by my publisher… @renardpress.com “a big part of what makes us different, in my eyes, is that we’re looking for different, and this means looking beyond the mass of published voices” creativewritingatleicester.blogspot.com/2026/01/five...

Good morning. 😸

My best reads of 2025 roundup list for them as wants it: pechorinsjournal.wordpress.com/2026/01/16/b...

Could not resist diving into this excellent nature writing memoir by #ChloeDalton. Close encounters with leveret, obsessive research into hares, to help not harm them and a change in perspective on local fields and wildlife policy. A beautiful living tale. clairemcalpine.com/2025/12/17/r...

“His mind could evoke nothing but images of separation, which cut him off from ordinary, normal people, the fortunate ones, the well-beloved. Most of all, he knew, he was cut off from Derek. Derek would not understand at all." #BookSky 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2025/12/11/t...

With the start of Thomas Mann week tomorrow for this year's #GermanLitMonth, I was reminded of a four-part discussion I had with @LizzySiddal in 2017 about his novel 'Buddenbrooks' - we had a lot to say! lizzysiddal.wordpress.com/2017/11/02/b...

More than a shaggy-dog story? I kick off #GermanLitMonth's Thomas Mann Week with a look at 'Herr und Hund' ('A Mann and His Dog'), in which the writer shows a softer side of his character (for the most part...): tonysreadinglist.wordpress.com/2025/11/17/h...

Monsieur Didi is wishing everyone a lovely Sunday (evening).

"Occasionally a whole town would be implicated. Quiet, non-political, peace-loving people waited behind closed doors for the shooting and the hurrying footsteps to cease; the streets were unsafe; the very nights were restless." #BookSky 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2025/11/09/c...

Autumn mood.

You don’t honour dire wolves by cloning hybrids. You honour them by protecting the wolves, forests, and ecosystems we still have.

Busy recently, so I haven't been online much, but in November I'm hoping to be more active to help with this year's #GermanLitMonth - here's the badge, with a building you may recognise :)

Monsieur Didi says hello.

Good evening from Miss Lune.

My monthly wrap-up post for August, with everything from this year's #WITMonth :) tonysreadinglist.wordpress.com/2025/08/30/a...

Today is #BlackCatAppreciationDay. Here are my three beauties, two of which sadly are no longer with me. Beloved Max (12.6.08 - 13.4.23), sassy girl Little Isis (2008 - 28.5.25), and my two-year-old gentle giant Monsieur Didi.

For International Cat a little street cat I photographed on a market in Marrakesh.
