Good morning from @valeriavescina.bsky.social.bsky.social in #Switzerland! What have you been #reading? What’s on your TBR list? I’ve just finished books by @richardnskinner.bsky.social and Elizabeth von Arnim, begun one by Zora del Buono, and starting on @lilydunn.bsky.social’s Into Being.

Help 🙏 I’m moving into Ch2 of my PhD by PP, which focuses on the shift in practice embodied by my memoir Negative Space. If you know of any academic writing which references my work, I’d be very grateful to be pointed in its direction. @lilydunn.bsky.social @minxmarple.bsky.social please share? #phd

I had a book published by Unbound and after years of odd royalty statements and money siphoned off for I don’t know what, I’ve been warning people not to be published by them. More work for authors, no good outcome. Such a shame.

So proud of my brilliant daughter @lilydunn.bsky.social and have already pre-ordered!

Well worth listening to this - brilliant journalism open.spotify.com/episode/1Si4...
