I've had about 5 hours sleep. I'm tired and grumpy, and my to-do list is a mile long. <collapses into armchair and opens Slay the Spire>

Sci-fi and Fantasy are colour coded. Contemporary is alphabetical by author. Biography firstly by category (politics, famous people, sport, animals) and then by subject name. Penguin classics are by number, so publication date. Recipe books by size. Random non-fiction is random.

BOOKSHOP MAGIC; where you'll find the book you need. It’s always raining outside but cozy inside, your favourite armchair will be free, and the bookshop dog will curl up with you to read. Best of all; on your birthday you can read your favourite book for the first time again. #questpit #Q #P #RF #S

I strongly recommend these powerful, dark and moody romantic fantasy novels. Terrific world building, gorgeous romances. Buy them, read them, write a review.

I blame Collingwood. #AFLCrowsPies #AFL #gopies (Not that I mind. Great game.)

I read and loved A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangdu Mandanna. It's absolutely glorious and heartwarming and lovely with found family and people accepting each other and animals and a great house. I wish I’d written it ❤️

Captain's tips for longevity in honour of his 15th birthday today: 1. STAY ACTIVE. Insist on a walk morning and night, no matter if it's raining or how tired your human is. 2. BE AN OPTIMIST. Something exciting is bound to be around that corner. 3. EAT MORE POO. I know. Apparently it's a thing.

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP? "It all started when my best friend Linh cast two of my ex-lovers in a play where I was the fight choreographer, and had to teach them to slash at each other with swords."

An antidote to the "tough on crime" talk. Treating violence as a disease immediately focuses you on preventative measures, and they work. I'd never even heard of the VRU (violence reduction unit) and it's in my home state. Could we please talk more about this kind of brilliant, inspiring work?

Heads up, there's a new AJ Demas out! It's everything you expect; strong characters, a beautiful sense of place, some things to think about, and just a whole load of sweet.

A mix of romance, fantasy and literary this month and all of them excellent.

This is gorgeous artwork for one of my favourite books.

Icecream. I mean, if it was a superfood I could force myself to eat it for the health value. But I really don't get the fuss.

Hahahaha

I love this to pieces (I don't really follow soccer, I don't know any of these people, but I think that might change now)
