Sequels!! OMG

This, of course, is assuming there are no meteorite strikes and that the editor doesn’t point out an enormous plot hole that demands a rewrite.

Happy New Year – book recs plus a little update.
[image error]
I’m going to be honest with you, my lovelies, and get a bit wordy so the tl:dr version is “2018 hasn’t been a good year for me” and you can skip the next couple of paragraphs if you’re just here for the book recs. There’s a sentence in bold where you can pick them up.
So, yeah, 2018 has sucked in so many ways.
Living with long term clinical depression with a stonking side-order of anxiety and good medical reasons why the usual drugs are a Really Bad Idea isn’t fun however you look at it, and...

If you’re as baffled by marketing as I am …
You might benefit from grabbing a copy of this book – especially since it’s only 99p this week.

That Book Cover Meme – 8
And here is the very last of my book covers – and in some ways the most important because of ‘things’.
I’m not tagging because so many people have done this now – but if you see this and you have a mental bookshelf of which you would like to share the titles you keep close to hand for comfort, have at it. Seven, or eight or ten, books posted without explanation and tag whomsoever you please.
