I really enjoy these podcasts about the creative process. Here @heidijames.bsky.social talks to Kirsteen McNish about finding the space to write, vulnerability, being a carer and the view that gives to the wider world. open.spotify.com/episode/5ebt...

Can't recommend this @heidijames.bsky.social novel enough. Tremendous. Thanks @stuhennigan.bsky.social for the tip

After *far too long* on my TBR, I finished Birding (pictured with Bodie having a good old book sniff) by @regretteruane.bsky.social in one intense sitting and I feel changed as a person. What a gorgeously written, quietly devastating novel. I'll be recommending this one until my voice goes hoarse 🫡
