“Time stops when someone dies. Of course it stops for them, maybe, but for the mourners time runs amok. Death comes too soon. It forgets the tides, the days growing longer and shorter, the moon. It rips up the calendar. You aren't at your desk or on the subway or fixing dinner for the children. You're reading People in a surgery waiting room, or shivering outside on a balcony smoking all night long. You stare into space, sitting in your childhood bedroom with the globe on the desk. Persia, the Belgian Congo. The bad part is that when you return to your ordinary life all the routines, the marks of the day, seem like senseless lies. All is suspect, a trick to lull us, to rock us back into the placid relentlessness of time.” Thank you to @lovebooksjozi for giving me an excuse to chip away at the wishlist. . . . . . . . . . #southafricanbookstagrammer #sareaders #southafricanreaders #readerscommunity #bookstagramsouthafrica #newbookstagram #bookstaexplore #sabookstagrammers #literarylifestyle #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #sabookstagram #readersofinstagram #whatshouldiread #bookstagramza #bookstagram #loveofbooks #amanualforcleaningwomen #lucianerlin#natashabrown #assembly #purecolour #sheilayeti #mariagainza #portraitofanunknownlady (at Weltevredenpark, Gauteng, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CejJzByrI9G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Join me and author Arisa White in The Blue and Yellow Kitchen as we talk about her beautiful new genre-bending memoir Who’s Your Daddy. A blend of poetry and prose, it’s a book like nothing you’ve ever read and I encourage you to surrender yourself to the experience of traveling with her to Guyana in search of her absent father. I make metemgee: Guyanese coconut-broth stew with cassava, sweet potato, and plantain. Recipe link will be in bio.

We’re headed to Wisconsin for an Evening with Neil Gaiman @neilhimself. I’ve been waiting for this since I was 19, picked up my first NG book, Angels and Visitations, and fell in absolute love with his storytelling. Neil is my foremost role model when it comes to my writing, and a constant source of inspiration. While I know I won’t get to actually meet him because of COVID protocols this trip, just getting to be in the same room with him, listening to him speak, is really more than 19 year old me thought she’d get all those years ago. Maybe next trip things will be safer and he’ll get to see his fans and I’ll be able to tell him how much his words inspire me every day. #neilgaiman #bucketlist #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookshelf #bookworm #bookblog #books #bookcommunity #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #bookhoarder #reads #reader #literarylifestyle #bookrecommendations #amwriting #writingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlJSEoO6qT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Random updates to wrap up April and welcome May: 🖋- I am beyond happy about using my pen name, and for the changes I’ve implemented on this account. I’ve started unfollowing every account that doesn’t directly feed my creative, writerly life because ✨I’m only on here to talk about books, writing, and creating.✨ Okay, yes, I follow cute animals, too. It’s called “balance”.) 🌌- I am *serious* about a buddy read/book club for Big Magic. It would be the perfect overlap of my professional skills and my heart’s passion!! I’m thinking starting around midsummer (June 24) for a month so that it would be right on the mid year! Thoughts on this?? Pls share below. 💖- I’ve been inspired by a former student/current colleague (you know who you are 😉) to try a new approach to healing my PTSD. The process is emotionally painful yet effective. (More on this some day.) ✍️- New therapy is helping me untangle my relationship with writing. I’m able to see the natural space between my writing & the outcomes of the writing. 📚 - Since creativity is expansive, I have room for more than one story at once. One of those stories is an old idea prodding me nonstop. Clocked ~1300 words last night!! 🌸- Rainy day orchid.

ℚ𝕆𝕋𝔻: Do you like ghost stories?⁣ ⁣ I only like ghost stories if they’re tame and I can read/listen to them in the daylight. Lol I’m very easy to scare! ⁣ ⁣ I do really love City of Ghosts from @veschwab. This middle grade ghost story is the perfect amount of creepy! And it’s set in one of my favorite places in the world … Edinburgh! I seriously left a piece of my heart in Scotland (and England) when I visited in the 2018. ⁣ ⁣ ✨Challenges✨⁣ #SpookyOct21 - city of ghosts: middle grade⁣ #BackToFall2021 - endless night: dark powers⁣ ⁣ ✨Hashtags✨⁣ #CityOfGhosts #VESchwab #ScholasticInc #MiddleGradeReads #GhostStories #FlatLayFriday #CassidyBlake #Scotland #MiddleGrade #SpookyHalloween #SpookyReads #FallVibes #ReadingIsMagic #LiteraryLifestyle #BookstaFeatures #BookstagramIt #ShelfLove #FlatLay https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVYxjRLWTp/?utm_medium=tumblr

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” - Lewis Carroll . . . Life can often feel rather strange at the moment, with many days feeling exactly the same as the one before. It may be easy for us to fantasise about going back in time to a world unmarred by the ravages of a Pandemic. But I urge you to remember one thing. If we could go back in time, we could go back to being a different person. Everything that happens to us has an impact on the person we become, every challenge we overcome helps to shape our very being. There are days when I think about going back to easier times before life became difficult. But then I remind myself I would go back to a version of myself who was less wiser and not as emotionally resilient as I am now. Remember that no matter how hard life has been you lately, those trials will give you the gift of wisdom. Something that only time and experience can give you. . . .

I have literally read one book this month... What the hell?! I’m sorry but Eleanor Oliphant put me in a proper slump 😅😬 But this book is getting me out of it! - Not sure wether I should even post a monthly on my blog seems as I have read nothing and pretty much done nothing exciting at all, maybe I’ll just post a little update on other things then... (Can’t be writing my book either because I’ve done hardly any of that too💀) - Ever get really angry at yourself for not being productive and getting done what you wanted to get done? I hate myself for looking back on this month thinking I have wasted so much time! - But it’s okay I guess, there’s no point in stressing about it now, I’ll just have to do double the work next month 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ - Have you read the dry yet? I’m finding it very good at the moment and I can’t put it down! 🔥🌞 - #instareads #literarylifestyle #readingbook #thedry #procrastinating #ineedtogetbusy #igreads #bookstagram #bookish #booklife #booknerd #bookclub #readingislife #readingbook #readingslump #bookblogger #lifestyleblogger #stopbeingmoody #inevertakeenoughpics

“The best thing about dreams is that youth holds on to them.” Maybe the most famous of the femme fatales because, I mean, just LOOK at her, but Lauren Bacall is also a wonderful writer. This is one of my favourite books. Catapulted into stardom off of one (great) picture, but she WORKED to keep up with the fame and career handed to her. I absolutely love her. Full of anecdotes about her time growing up and living in New York, pretty brief as she was “discovered” at 19, to being Svengali’d essentially by Howard Hawks, a romance that captured people’s imagination till today with Humphrey Bogart, and all the many years and work and work and work after. She’s funny, frank, brave, resourceful, and smart. There will never be another like her. “From my own self-analysis, which I seldom indulge in, I am what I am.” . . . . . . . . 🏷 #southafricanbookstagrammer #sareaders #southafricanreaders #readerscommunity #bookstagramsouthafrica #newbookstagram #bookstaexplore #sabookstagrammers #literarylifestyle #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #sabookstagram #readersofinstagram #whatshouldiread #bookstagramza #bookstagram #loveofbooks #bookish #laurenbacall #bymyselfandthensome #headline #tohaveandhavenot #humphreybogart #howardhawks (at Weltevredenpark, Gauteng, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeGZaLeL3av/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Sunday, February 16th, the romance community lost a friend who had become an inspiration to us all. Author Beverly Preston’s daughter, Jordyn, spread her wings and began the transition to her next adventure. This remarkable young woman gave us all quite a lesson in strength, courage, and grace as she valiantly fought liver cancer and showed everyone the true meaning of #FightLikeAGirl. ⁣ ⁣ To honor Jordyn Preston, we will be reissuing Jordyn’s Army, a collection of short stories written specifically for Jordyn. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Preston family. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ The eBook is available on #KindleUnlimited with paperbacks being available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in the next coming day or so. ⁣ ⁣ Jordyn, this is for you, babe, as you travel on your journey - doing it your way. Thank you for gracing all our lives. Godspeed… until we meet again.⁣ ⁣ #JordynsArmy #WeAreJordynsArmy⁣ ⁣ IG BLAST with @HEAPRMore ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #HEAPR #bookish #bookblogger #bookworm #booknerd #amreading #mustread #ebook #bookshelfie #booksofinsta #booksofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #amreadingromance #literarylifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xU5xXgCrB/?igshid=18fysg7bznecv

The City of Brass is my current read and let tell you friends, the imagery is lush and it’s so intricately written. I’ve never read historical fantasy involving Djinn and the mythology around them, having stuck to mostly celtic myths my entire life. I’m so happy I picked this up. I’m learning so much and getting sucked in to a richly layered story with well-rounded characters as well. Pick this up, it doesn’t disappoint. . . . #bookstragrammer #TBRlist #tbrpile #booknerds #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookshelf #bookworm #bookblog #books #bookcommunity #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #bookhoarder #reads #reader #literarylifestyle #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/COdbVtnglpS/?igshid=7eulgeyf95fz

Gotta love a public library that has a bar! Plus, literary-themed cocktails can’t hurt!
