📦 Package coming via Evri. My immediate reaction is 🤬 My usual guy is a drop and scarper type; no knock, no ring. I have to keep checking outside. The other guy doesn’t even bother coming down the driveway. “Looks like nobody’s in,” x3 and then the package becomes ‘lost’ 😤

I’d like to hear about all of them, but that many feels like being a bit overwhelming.
When @nssecretbookaholic.bsky.social has done 📚 sets, a decent handful works really well, I thought.
Might spread it out a wee tad, but much less daunting for this viewer. Easier to comment upon afterwards too.

Although I'm still awaiting cover reveals for three of my latest projects, here are some of the books I've worked on recently. If you're looking for a high-quality, reliable proofreader (see my testimonials), my DMs are open and there's also a contact form on my website.

🤔 All but one of my July new book releases wishlist are already available. Trying to hold out until the end of the month to sneak that outlier into the haul at the same time.

But it’s hard. So hard 🤗
Could leave it for August though 🧐

Any self-pub authors have a new SFF book out soon, or an existing one you want to put in front of a different audience? I have a showcase video out in 3 weeks where you can do just that!
Details are here:

We 🇬🇧 seem to have moved from being a laughing stock to becoming credible again. Given the populist options occurring elsewhere in the 🌍 this is quite a turnaround. 🙏 that we have free and fair 🗳️ here. It's a massive improvement, if an imperfect step in the right direction.

🌧️ Wet 👕 situation here after I wandered outside in the rain to move the patio pots onto the lawn, so they can drain rather than sit in waterlogged trays.
Soggy out!

🗳️ Arse. My neighbours voted to keep my CON MP 😤
Three out of six MRPs said to tactically vote 🌹 here.
Two said 🟨
One even said REF 🤯
In the end I overrode their ‘suggestion' and went with what I knew to be the case locally.
🟨 came 🥈 to 🟦 here, 🌹 were 🥉
MRP polls were wrong. So I win?

At my boys-only school, the primary school boys all had to wear 🩳 as part of the dress code. I still wear 🩳 as much as possible, and when the work dress code got changed I always assumed I was a factor 😆 So I’m right there with you. But then I am still to this day a professional 12yo 😆

📺 Last night I managed to squeeze in the first two episodes from Season 1 of 🏠 “House of the Dragon” 🐉
Might try to do a couple more this evening, but I’ll start falling further behind on my #BookTube shows if I do 🤔
The dilemma of too much content. I’m behind on everything.

📺 My SkyHD box is filling up with more “House of the Dragon”. I only watched S01E01 when it first aired, so of course that episode has long since been deleted from my box, while the rest remain to this day. Guess I need to go get it and start again? 🤔

📖 A few more pictures from inside the “Blake’s 7 Production Diary Series A” book.
I cannot overstate how impressed I am by this book. I keep picking it up and flicking through it. It looks and feels fabulous.

📬 Today I received some absolutely *gorgeous* new books about the classic/cult TV show “Blake’s 7”.
I had no idea these existed, took a bit of a punt on a few, and they’re even more impressive in person than I could have possibly anticipated 😮😍🤗

Someone--no idea who--has been using one of my streaming accounts to work their way through a popular TV series. I see their progress every time the "continue watching" list is displayed. They have one episode left, the big series finale. I changed my account password today.

🛠️ I struggle to work through any kind of building work. If not the hammering and the drilling and the digging and the banging, then the builder’s radio or idle chatter. Great when it’s all done though 👍

If my favourite chocolate gelato ice-cream isn't available from my supermarket of choice*, I just have to shop somewhere else 😆 Very much enjoying these similes 😄 I do like a bit of behind-the-scenes though. *when Ocado ditched Waitrose for Marks&Spenser around 2019 I was proper distressed 😉

🚴I like that the ITV4 coverage of #LeTour2024 gives me a big news dump right at the start of the race.
I don't have the bandwidth to follow bicycle racing along with everything else, so it was all news to me.

📅 Scratch that ☝️ Belatedly realised I’d entirely missed off my actual current 📖 which I’ll definitely be carrying over too.
So I dropped a 📘 and added a 📗 instead.
The numbered points above otherwise still stand. Way too over ambitious 🫤

📚 I have this very trilogy in my Library.
However, upon examining it just now I discovered I received 🇺🇸 edition of 📗 “Down Among the Dead” which is a different size from my regular 🇬🇧 editions of 📕📘
Thanks to the ‘zon at the time of ordering for that one! May fix…

📚 Just whipped out all the books that…
1️⃣ I want to continue, or
2️⃣ Have a deadline attached, or
3️⃣ Are leftovers from last month’s TBR.
…which I somehow have to bend into a Readathon.
🫣🤯🤷♂️
All totally over-ambitious as usual 🤦♂️ Why do I do this to myself 🤪
