Reading is a Key

Hello, dear friends, I am thrilled to say that my mojo is up and running. I disciplined myself over the last few weeks and gave myself a good talking-to. Which has me leaving my laptop and phone downstairs when I go to bed. I tackled my TBR (to be read) pile and rediscovered the cosy feeling of reading in bed. I must give a shout-out to https://www.buythebook.ie Rachel Drury who owns the completely Irish-owned site asked for authors to read each other’s books and consider leaving a review. By signing up, I discovered some wonderful new authors.

Above are some of the authors I have enjoyed so far and also I must admit to reading on my Kindle too, (I know, I know, I said no screens but reading is reading). Those on my Kindle were, The Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan, All Her Fault by Andrea Mara, American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins and others. But to my delight, apart from being entertained wrapped up cosy and warm with my TBR pile, it also spurred me into action regarding my own writing. Even though I am not in the company of other writers very often at present, I can be through reading. Surrounding myself with authors I love, has the same effect, creativity is sparked and my mind starts opening itself to new ideas and characters.

So visit your library, bookshop or friends bookshelves and get reading. With the long dark evenings drawing in, it is the perfect time to reintroduce yourself to old friends and discover some new ones. That includes my own novels and novellas if you haven’t yet read them, shameless plug I know, but shure if you don’t try, you’ll never know now, will you? Happy reading and importantly I must add, if possible, please leave a review. It helps the authors enormously.

Thanks for dropping by and yes, I did crochet the double-bed size blanket
