I'm reading The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon at the moment. Generally I won't pick up a book with 'the girl' in the title, but this is actually a girl, not a woman. It's masterly in the build up of creepiness, as you'd expect from Stephen King. The snapped twig, the sense of being watched, the telling yourself not to overeact but knowing deepdown that you're not alone... ⠀ Chapter 21 of Sweetness and Light is now up. #literature #instaliterature #lovereading #book #writing #instabooks #instareading #instawriting #bookstagram #bookish #literary #writers #booklover #bookblogger #author #writerscommunity #iamreading #booklovers #bibliophile #books #freebooks #bookchat

I’m reading loads of Agatha Christie at the moment. Partly research but I’m finding it so soothing - just one or two jolly little murders and all the loose ends tie up! Talking of murder, or is it?, chapter 20 is now up. #literature #instaliterature #lovereading #book #writing #instabooks #instareading #instawriting #bookstagram #bookish #literary #writers #booklover #bookblogger #author #writerscommunity #iamreading #booklovers #bibliophile #books #freebooks #bookchat

Just finished reading The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. If anyone could please explain the plot that would be great

Looking for spring. We thought we saw it yesterday but then it disappeared round a corner and was gone.

I think water can be a good symbol for the troubling and otherworldly, for things we can’t control or understand. Do you remember the pools of water to get to different worlds in one of the Narnia books? Early Celtic beliefs had water as a liminal place where different worlds met, so they would throw offerings in, a bit like we now throw pennies in a wishing well. You feel it when you sink underwater don’t you? I don’t like going under water - I think that’s why. (Also more prosaically I wear contacts.) chapter 19 of Sweetness and Light is now up, link in profile. #literature #instaliterature #lovereading #book #writing #instabooks #instareading #instawriting #bookstagram #bookish #literary #writers #booklover #bookblogger #author #writerscommunity #iamreading #booklovers #bibliophile #books #freebooks #bookchat
