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

Space-Mullet

Really loved the title for this series and the cover art was intriguing.

Jonah and his alien friend Alphius are trying to keep their space trucking business going whilst trying to avoid the authorities as Jonah is a deserter and this forms a large core of the main story.

The whole of this collection though is taken up with bringing the disparate crew together, all with their own secrets and needs to stay hidden.

I loved the sparseness of the illustration style, used to great effect to portray the action throughout the story.

I also loved the nods to our own era in the form of Imperialism and racism, and how this effects interactions throughout the various character arcs.

A great space romp with lots of directions to go in as this was just the gang getting together storyline.

and yes I could see the reasons why it would be aimed at fans of Firefly and Cowboy BeBop.

I was given this by NetGalley and Image Comics in exchange for an honest review.

Let’s finish off #nationalpoetrymonth with another from Staying Alive by Sheila Wingfield which I keep going back to all the time, I think this is probably the most reread poem from the books on the shelf.
