Trying to figure out which #tarotdeck to explore next.

Idle Hands Tarot, Tarot of the Witches, or The Rackham Tarot?

Just shuffling away until I felt like drawing a card, no question in mind.

Three of Pentacles is an encouragement and sign that I’m on the right track in work related things. This could mean what I’ve been doing with the blogs and websites will be right and to push on but there is also a thought going through my head about the day job which I may explore further.

But an encouraging card

With everything that's going on in my life at the moment I've decided to fold the indie publishing website into the Big Bearded Bookseller website

This means that the BBB site will get another thread of content and mean far more regular updates each month and that the indie publishing site won't look as though it is abandoned with only one or two posts every now and then

I'll be doing the same for the indie bookshop website soon for the same reasons

Both started off as hobbies and took on more weight during lock down and furlough and it would have been great to continue like that but they can't be more than hobbies and interests while I work full time

So a couple of packages arrived for me today one was a book I’ve really been looking forward to ‘The Phoenix Keeper’ by S A Maclean (and it has a map!) the others were a surprise from @flyingeyebooks ‘Cub’ by Jonty Howley and ‘One Day on Our Prehistoric Planet’ by Ella Bailey and how cute are the dino paper clips!

Blogging away with the french doors open, cat popping in and out, starlings bubbling away, and the enthusiastic whoops of wood pigeons is the evening I needed

I will be posting what's in those packages once I've got a cup of tea

Been a weird week the past week, health issues weighing on my mind has meant I've been reading less and thinking more, not always a good thing 😂

It has meant I've put a few things into a perspective I can work with and feel better about.

A few changes will be happening around my blogging but nothing really major just fine tuning.

Sometimes you really need the splash of cold water in the face to make you realise things and that's what's happened.

It's the first Monday in May and I'm currently reading 'A Rivalry of Hearts' by @tessonja

What book(s) are you reading this week?

Just wanted to put out a couple of pictures for the healed tattoo from @ginge_and_needles

The finished piece is such a beautiful piece of art (almost like a wood print by Bewick) and is such a stunner I keep trying to figure out if I could get away with wearing vests more often 😂

The whole process from booking to getting the work done was so easy and painless, so painless in fact that I almost fell asleep a couple of times...

Shannon's studio is so nice as is Shannon.

I'd really recommend 100% and will eventually get something from Shannon again 💙

Just noticed this morning that last night's post about watching some old films that were referenced in The Rocky Horror Picture show was my 500th post on the blog with 323 of those being book reviews.

Still more posts to come today as well!

Had a lovely chat with @littlerachtattoo yesterday

Had a lovely chat with @littlerachtattoo yesterday and just about to book in two half days getting the bottom half of my leg tattooed with gorgeously cute symbols for these.

Debut - lit match
Fearless - park bench
Speak Now - firefly
Red - star with sparkles
1989 - fox
Reputation - chandelier
Lover - rainbow
Folklore - a blue wave
Evermore - A scrap of a lined page with hearts on it
Midnights - a curled up cat
TTPD - a secret garden gate

Then all joined up with a golden string. Once all that’s done the space will be filled with stars and sparkles so I’ll be bejewelled and you can see me shine!

So looking forward to this as I’ve been waiting on #tsttpd being released to get a signifier for that, the next albums can go on my upper leg as they will all be joined by a golden thread. This helps me accept not getting to any of the gigs a bit better 😢

But do you get the songs?

Book 57 of 2024, The Details by Ia Genberg

Will edit in a review later if my brain fog lifts for the day, if not there will be one across on the blog at some point over the weekend

Just got super excited though as I've planned in a leg piece to start in the next couple of months, super cute, super colourful by @littlerachtattoo who did my gorgeous soot sprites!

Looking forward to showing it to you all when it's done

So this is the second of the International Booker Prize shortlist I've read this year and I really liked it but Not a River still has my heart for the winner
