I had the best day in the bookshop today but my FAVOURITE moment was a boy (aged 12ish) coming in begging for Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan.
Heβd started reading it in school yesterday and couldnβt wait to dive back in. He was so surprised that Iβd reread them all this year π₯°
Absolutely devastated to hear that Dame Maggie Smith passed away this morning.
Maggieβs character work was part of my inspiration to study Drama. Rest, maβam.

My stomach doesnβt hurt.
Itβs a small thing but after so long trying to get everything sorted, itβs just sunk in that Iβm pain free. Crying a little because of the relief tbh!
Amazing news for writers and readers in Wales! Huge congratulations and best wishes to @rjph91 and @kathryn_tann - I canβt wait to subscribe and get my first issue!

The phlebotomist who did my blood tests (all fine) today was particularly stabby. Theyβre all stabby, but she seemed to take great delight in itβ¦
