Ah, this was a happy memory @ShaliniElassery - sending you wishes for happiness, health, and lots of beautiful birds in 2025. 😊💚.

@fungiwithbengi2 I'm not sure whether this was the first of your wonderful posts that evening or mid-flow. 😊.

Here we go, @fungiwithbengi2 😊🍄.

As the sun finally sets and the tree falls on something which grew for its spell, then rotted, I'll try to cross check for each of my followers on the site where I'm at now. Look for me in the top left corner, behind the twigs. 🦋

This was marvellous, @inknest - you should be so very proud. 👏👏👏.

confection of a story – Ravi the oceloe is a darling. What’s an oceloe, you ask? Bayen’s gorgeous illustrations give you the cute and cheeky idea. Spend your holiday season with The Wingspan of Treason– it’ll stay with you long into next year. /End.

Last alt: The denouement is full and satisfying, but you’re champing at the bit to see what’s in the next instalment for the characters and the peoples they’ve grown to be part of. And the fantastical little pets are a delightful rose-water syrup drizzled on this multi-layered 2/.

The Wingspan of Treason by Lamia Bayen was out on 26th Nov - for a truly epic flight into rich, multi-cultured storytelling, settle in for the holidays with this exciting new fantasy. 🪶 #books #bookstoread #WritingCommunity #BookReview

To my lovely folks here, if there might be anywhere else that you might expect to find me, I am exactly the same there as I am here. Only rather more active! Please do wave on my timeline there, as I miss you all. 🦋

Merry Samhain everyone, and blessed be this New Moon. 🎃✨💫🌛🌚🌜 Didn't have much time this evening, so a cheeky little blinky catkin it is.

2/ This is one for warming Autumn reading now the nights are growing darker… and like me, you might find yourself having a look for Beara Spring breaks. [End].

Missing ALT reads: I really tried to read The Inheritance slowly, to prolong my stay and relish the visit, but as the secrets between generations and centuries spill into the light, I was inevitably up until the early hours for the last satisfying page. 1/.

Go on, book-lovers, treat yourself this Halloween: @cauverymadhavan.bsky.social 's The Inheritance is why you'll want to visit the Beara Peninsula!.Gorgeous immersive read. #spookyseason #books #Ireland #IrishBooks #amreading #WritingCommunity

A parched gargoyle gasps his thirst, standing watch beside a curtain, just-twitched, where no one lives or looks out. #spookyseason #amwriting #WritingCommunity #Halloween #SissinghurstCastle #NationalTrust

Candles still seemed to wisp, tipped in white ash, where some twist of the night's danse macabre had snuffed them out. The damp waft of a ragged cloak, perhaps, flipped in a pirouette; leaving a waft of half-imagined smoke, wet earth, and ripening fungus. #spookyseason #Autumn

There's such quiet friendship and kindness in Helje's art. 😊 Thank you for sharing, @Corvuscorax81 and for highlighting @SuzieBaker777 @Eternaltree1 and @occulife.

On the way home, the briefest day of a hard year had just set behind dark and weary trees. A sun-pillar, silver-striped, transfixed gold, coral and unexpected blue, pointing to brighter times ahead. Merry Yule, everyone; may a little more light find you each day. ✨🌞✨.

Tonight, I saw the moon for the first time through a telescope. I've described a city in my imaginary world as a 'lucent dreamscape', not realising the moon's face is just that. Thank you @caraghkb for making it happen - a true star debut as observatory guide, my lovely! 🥰 🌔.

This is really heckling at its sweetest. Missing a tenor? Never fear - Liu Jianwei is here! 😊 And the wonderful Lisette Oropesa's delight is infectious. Must get round to seeing La Trav at some point. 😊 🥂.
