HAHA nope. Not even a tiny chance. For so many reasons, but if I had to bring it down to basics, I don’t like small spaces and generally space travel is quite a cramped affair. I also don’t love wide open spaces… so you know, it hits on both. I also quite like this planet, READ MORE

  I’m not really a fan of the fairy tales I read as a child – the European Grimm’s fairy tales being the majority of the genre from what I’ve experienced. Generally I find them problematic and upsetting, particularly if you look at the originals (like how in Cinderella the step sisters actually hacked off READ MORE

  It’s been years since we didn’t have the internet to look song lyrics up on, so I don’t really remember. I know there were lots. I think I mis-heard Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and thought it was “his story” instead of “history” – let’s just say I was a precocious feminist and was afronted READ MORE

  Seriously, where do they get some of these prompts from?? The inner depths of my repressed psyche? Cos that’s how it’s starting to feel. Weird things I liked as a child? I mean, I’m neurodivergent. So mostly it was weird things I didn’t like as a child. Can I do that instead? Yes because READ MORE

  This is the kind of prompt that makes me want to hide under the covers for a week. Fun stories? About me? I mean. Like what? I don’t have a fascinating job or a bunch of travel tales. I don’t have any special skills. So this is not an easy one for me. Let’s READ MORE

  This is a tough one because there have been several. I go through phases of niche interests and I try to go on a deep dive for each one. So over the years I’ve had several favourites on different topics. But when I look back there have been a couple that have stuck with READ MORE

  Oh man. Dreams are such a trip. I guess the first thing I should mention is that one of the medications I’m on can… well, it can make vivid and intense dreamscapes, and boy does it ever. I’ve had crazy Jason Bourne-style epics where I had to jump from a cruise ship to a READ MORE

  Ha, so this one is much easier than last week’s prompt about jobs I’d be good at. I have had several jobs, and while I did a fine job at most of them, I also hated some of them. I have a few things in particular I’m not good at. Multi-tasking is one of READ MORE

  It’s hard for me to know what I’d be good at. I’ve always struggled to see my own strengths, and never really managed to actually form a career for myself, despite lots of schooling and many jobs. I don’t know about what I’d be good at, but I do know I’d like a job READ MORE

  I don’t really know that many interesting facts, at least not that I can think of. I think I remember something about elephants being the only mammals that can’t jump, something about their knees. Oh, and I’ve watched Frozen a few times thanks to my lovely child, so I also heard from Olaf that READ MORE

  Hmmmm. I don’t really have one these days. I had a kid, became a SAHM, and gained more weight than I ever thought possible. This has led to a situation where I don’t have to dress up – so I don’t. I also don’t fit into most fashionable brands as they stop at size READ MORE

  So there are some things I used to try before the heat got insane (heat dome, anyone?). These include staying inside on the lower floor of my house, lying on the floor, using water misters that I’d kept in the fridge, fans, cool beverages and moving as little as possible. All helpful, but really READ MORE

  I just moved, so everything is lost, I am completely in disarray and I forgot I needed to write a post for this week. Oops! Anyway, here it is a bit late. This is a newly discovered song for me, but it has quickly become a favourite. My kid and I both love turning READ MORE

  I’ve been trying to give romance more of a try in recent years. I do struggle with it, and I think it’s mostly because of three things – I have been spoiled by the depth and realism of literary fiction, I have a hard time suspending my disbelief, and I’m naturally a pretty cynical READ MORE

  Well, the easy answer to this is, what’s not to love about being a reader and a blogger? Being a reader is one of the best gifts I’ve received in my life (after my kid, of course – though sharing a love of reading has been magical so far). I think it has irrevocably READ MORE

  Older books more people should read. Hmm. Well, the obvious choice for this is less popular classics, but I’m not really one for classics. I’ve loved a few, but I’ve also given up on many more. So I’m going to try to select a few books that have been around for a while, but READ MORE

  So I know I’m supposed to come up with something exciting for this prompt. The picture above is Italy, and I’d definitely love to go there someday. There’s also Iceland, which fascinates me. I’m sure there are lots more. But if I could choose one place to visit (or even better, live), it would READ MORE

  I don’t really have a favourite YouTube video. I like some music videos, I have a few channels I really enjoy watching – mostly BookTube. So I had to put some thought into this one. But I think, if I had to choose one, it would be this:     There’s a whole channel READ MORE
