I pulled a muscle in my neck from checking my blind spot while driving are you freaking kidding me safety was supposed to be sexy not a painful reminder of my ageing body's slow betrayal

Hi this was SUPER COOL!!!!!!!! will never ever get over seeing 'Jemimah Wei, Author'!!!!!!

My novel BIG CHIEF is one of Goodreads Hottest, yes, Hottest Debut Novels of 2025! Some serious names here including HOMESEEKING by @karissachen.bsky.social and THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER BY @jemmawei.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/blog/show/28...

Wrote about them here. "Driverless cars are often called autonomous vehicles – but driving isn’t an autonomous activity. It’s a co-operative social activity, in which part of the job of whoever’s behind the wheel is to communicate with others on the road." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Reunited with Tash in Bangkok and yapped nonstop 🥰 it's been nearly a decade since we first met and SUCH a journey 🥹♥️

It is a fucking delight to read every day and be like wtf, I have Thoughts

wow I am so skincared out this festive season I did a clay mask pore mask collagen night wrapping mask where you peel off a second skin like a lizard the next morning to emerge porcelain and rice polish scrub I feel like a total baby

woke up and had an egg and I was like what a GIFT eggs are, truly the perfect food

Had my first ever OG DAUGHTER event six months out from pub last night 🥹💓 my local distributor Pansing and gem of an indie bookstore Book Bar Singapore brought together a room of literary lovers, book clubbers, & writers, now the earliest local readers of the novel, for a special prelaunch party 😭💙📚

being in your 30s is just eating mushy oats everyday and trying not to die

My UK early proofs are here and they are a VIBE AND A HALF!!!! This is the standard W&N proof cover till we get a cover design, and it feels so special to get to keep this edition! 💙📚

BIG CHIEF is on Debutiful’s Most Anticipated Debuts of 2025. Very happy to see it here! (And right next to THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER by @jemmawei.bsky.social!)

It in fact felt like time for a change 💕💇🏻‍♀️

I'm at my desk all day and then to reward myself I read till 4am because I have no self control then I wake up and sit at my desk again wondering why my brain is cotton candy..... Das December for you babies

OG DAUGHTER IS HEADED TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a fresh cover and new name!!!!!!!!!!!! So so honored to be translated by Dirk-Jan Arensman for Meridiaan Publishers for the Dutch edition, and I'm so excited for her to meet her Dutch readers 🥹♥️ 💙📚

mom trying to be encouraging as I look through old photo albums today 😂

carb loading / signage / 3 hours of sleep / finish line hype crew --- we accompanied her on everything but the actual marathon😂

Arcane's visual approach to montages is incredible wtf

something a bit ridiculous about being sick as a dog post covid booster jab I've done this so many times by now why is it so painful every single round

weekend plans aka gathering to read in cafes

little do they know the asian dewy skin glow is just equatorial sweat

another thing about wfh is that everytime im stuck re: writing, i do skincare, so if you see me showing up looking super glowy IRL you know the paragraphs ain't paragraphin

Lovely news! #TaiwanTravelogue, by Yang Shuang-zi (author) and Lin Kin (translator), have won the 2024 National Book Award for Translated Literature! A first for Taiwan.

Reporting live from the rainiest yet coziest off-site reading @ the Singapore Writers Festival closing weekend xx

Finally read the novel the Ghibli film is based on and I am CHARMED SILLY

With my family, to cut down on shipping, I buy books for them in their local bookstores. Or when traveling to them, I buy at their local indies. I always give books. They always give me navy sweaters and black leather gloves like they think I’m some kind of New England jewel thief.

visited the casual poet library in Singapore yesterday to be an ~artist~ and doodle my book rec for the month -- @vanjchan.bsky.social's STORM!!

I guess we are back on here gang

Armadillos really just out here living rent free in my head huh
