Ok. Baby Jean with baby beans

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Eek! So I’ve been on a “weight loss journey” and promised myself when I’d lost 60lbs I could cut my hair & dye it blue like I keep saying I will. Guess which milestone I hit today?? I don’t think I’m brave enough to do it though 😱

Will this week be the week I get to show you the cover of my sleep-deprived new mum losing the absolute plot thriller out in February? I THINK SO (I mean, I don't 100% know but I HOPE so)!

Anyone know a word for excited-but-devastated? Like when Ann Sei Lin ~ REBEL DAWN 🌅 ~’s new fantasy adventure - Rebel Dawn - lands on your doorstep and you can’t wait to read it, but also it’s final book in her amazing Rebel Trilogy and you’re not remotely ready to say goodbye to Kurara’s world😭

Introduced my 11yo to the Pomodoro Technique (specifically the kitty timer Amy McCaw uses in her Youtube sprints). The absolute joy in the room as she vanished into her imagination, filling pages and completely ignoring her inner critic😍 A nice reminder of why we all write!

Still rooting for him.

If you like writers as much as you like the books they write, and if you think minority kids deserve to see themselves repped in books, please put in a request for Being Ace at your local library

Writers, I long to find a spectacular debut YA author to invite onto my list! I love romantasy, fantasy, fairy/folktale retellings, thrillers & anything with an unreliable narrator! If you write this, hit me up - see skylark-literary.com for submission guidelines. 😊♥️ #MSWL

I’m very close to earning royalties on Ghost Girl and I have many feelings 😭

Friends, I'm not deleting my account here but I've deleted the app, so I won't be around as much. Come find me in the 🔵place - or the ⏰app! Or let me know here if you can find you there (I'll check back in). I don't want to lose my brilliant bookish community!

A toy dinosaur’s technically a doll so I assume they mean a real Dino & IDK, I guess maybe they want to show the dinos dolls & tell them to go play? In which case a 50/50 class split makes sense, I guess?

Guys I just want Broken Dolls to be out in the world 😭 This book means everything to me

The news is out! We are super excited to have 3 – three! – more books coming from both Kel Menton and Jen Wallace! That’s 6 – six! – new books in total by these 2 (two) brilliant Irish authors!
