Father's Day cupcakes. I'd love to say I made them...but that would just be a lie. 🤣

As usual I've been juggling reading multiple books this week but since it's half term I've not actually finished anything Saraswati by Gurnaik Johal is one I'm making great progress with. #booksky #litearyfiction #lovereading

This was 1 of 2 reviews that went up this week, The Spirit of the Rainforest by Dr Rose Vasquez Espinoza. It reminded me all over again why the Amazon needs protecting at all costs #AmazonRainforest #booksky #nonfiction

May was a huge reading month,partly helped by having a week off & partly because I started quite a few of these last month. My favourites would have to be The Book of Disappearance and I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. #booksky #booklover #bookcommunity

The first teacher guide for Girl Woman Other has just been published! Very useful for school teachers and university lecturers. It became an A Level set text in 2022. collins.co.uk/products/978...

Just before discovering the little free library at Abney Hall we came across this mini waterfall. It was so peaceful. I wish I's had a book to sit & read & listen to the water

Abney Hall Country Park. Then stopped for a 'posh Italian coffee'as the owner called it. #littlefreelibrary #booksky

So far, May's reading has been decidedly meh! Not wowed by any - a few, including Chopping Onions on My Heart and Mary Barton were pretty good. I'm waiting for that knock out work. #booksky #lovereading #Mayreads

Did a little happy dance when I stumbled on one of Susan Abulhawa's novels I've not read in Oxfam today. Mornings in Jenin and Against the Loveless World were just brilliant so I have high hopes for this. #booksky #palestinianliterature #bookcommunity #readersofbooksky

Considering we've had half -term in April, I managed to read far more than I was expecting. Admittedly, some of them were pretty short, snappy reads I could fit in around trips to the park. #booksky #reading

Hello––my book Underland has been adapted into a feature film & the world premiere is at Tribeca in June. It's taken 4.5 years––& the team’s created something astonishing. A documentary that's groundbreaking in form, voice & tone. I hope you might see it one day. Full account on IG (@robgmacfarlane)

Such an eclectic taste in books probably sums up my reading so far this month. How would you sum up yours? #booksky #bookcommunity #lovereading

It's the book everyone's talking about and for once I resisted the temptation to buy it....and instead talked my boyfriend into buying it so I could read it after him😆. Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams #CarelessPeople #Meta #nonfiction

Just finished Mrs Caliban and it's exactly my kinda weird. Feminist magical realism are it's best. Now to finish Fundamentally by Nussaibah Younis. #booksky

Some pretty fab bookish merchandise arrived a few days ago that I thought I'd share. It's from the literary emporium & this was part of their lucky dip sale. My favourite has to be the Maya Angelou pin badge. £12 for the whole box I thought was pretty good. #booksky

Two very different books but I'm really into both. HhhH is my local bookclub read for this month. Then I'm reading A Language of Limbs as part of a book tour & it's usually through these that I discover some of the most amazing books. #ukbookreviewer #ukbooklover #bookcommunity

Last night I finished The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara & whilst I process that one i thought I'd try & pick up where I left off with Anthony Doerr's, Cloud Cuckoo Land. Any excuse to get outside to read & I'm on it. #booksky #reading #readingoutdoors

I'm reading a book, Culture is Bad, that reinforces this. Sad but unsurprising & it definitely chimes with my own experiences #workingclassvoices #workingclassart #workingclasscreatives

The stand out books so far this month have been Susan Abulhawa's, Against the Loveless World and Octavia Butler's, Parable of the Sower. I also finished Gunk by Saba Sams yesterday & loved that too. #booksky #bookcommunity
