Thank you @orbitbooks @Gambit589 for the surprise Orbit goodie bag. Here's to another 50 years of SFF!
Scully was excited until she couldn't find the treats and toys 🤣

The thing I'm most excited for in PlanCo2, is still the new pathing. I mean look at it? A pier with actual rides on, over water! I do wanna play the last @PlanetZooGame DLC but it'll be hard not to want @PlanetCoaster 's paths in PZ.

Just noodling around in #TinyGlade for a few hours is so relaxing. It always looks good even when you have no idea what you're doing.

YAY! Looks like #TinyGlade will be on GeForce Now shortly, and then I won't need to put up with my laptop's spluttering.

Tiny Glade is so relaxing, although I'm looking forward to @PounceLight sorting out the Steam Deck controls so I can be even more relaxed playing it!

Two Point Museum seems to be going for the same theming as Planet Coaster 2. Was there a coral modelling session they both went to?

Oh great, Goodreads won't let me remove Hillbilly Elegy from my shelves. I didn't really know who the guy was before, but I definitely don't want to read his book now. I also get an error if I try and remove it via batch edit.

Do I do a #WritingCommunity or #BookBloggingCommunity intro?
I've been blogging about books since 2011. I read a little bit of everything but mostly sci-fi and fantasy. And then I wrote a "cosy with consequences" fantasy novel with added squirrels.

@orbitbooks @Gambit589 just doing the links for my Twyla and Frank review and noticed the retailers that use Gardners don't have it for order. Just making you aware in case there's a problem.

I know everyone tells authors to stay off Goodreads but then I'd miss having a little emotional moment over reviews like this:
"It felt like a passionate love letter to the modern activist fighting for what they believe in."

Since it's Friday and the sun is out, I'd love to give someone in the UK a paperback of Paws and Portals. Follow and RT to enter. I'll pick a winner on Sunday. #giveaway #BookTwitter

Oh Amazon, I appreciate your faith in me. "Only" 11 left in stock 🤣 I have no idea why they've started stockpiling copies, but since I have returns off, they're just going to have to try and sell them.

“Oh, and there’s a Morrigan downstairs for you.”
Lailu spat out her tea.
“Why didn’t you start with that?”
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The Morrigan’s in no rush. I gave her some spoons to look at.”
“What… never mind, I don’t want to know.”

The Honey Witch is out today in the UK...and since I'm still reading it (so no review to share), I have attempted to identify the plants on the cover instead!
I'm missing the cream one. Its stalks look like wild carrot but flowers are too big. Any ideas?

If you're visiting the New Forest with your dog, please do your part to ensure the National Park can continue to be enjoyed by dogs in the future. You'd think these were obvious asks, but often I see out of control dogs with zero recall running around.

Urgh what a poor taste ad. Paying more than a quid for an ebook isn't "overpaying". Writers deserve compensation for their work. If they or their publisher choose to discount it fine, but that doesn't mean they were charging too much before.

A weird out of place looking reblog form has appeared on my @jetpack comments section recently and I can't find any settings to get rid of it. I can't even make it look nice because it's in an iframe. Where has the disable reblogging setting gone?!

If you miss the decorating aspect of Animal Crossing, Planet Zoo really fills that gap for me. Have spent so long on the entrance to my zoo for the Twilight pack, it's barely got any animals in! Except spiders. It's got lots of spiders... #PlanetZoo
