Love that The Escape Room made this bumble bee book stack. My hubby calls me Bee and my kids buy me bee jewellery so this is super nice. Who doesn’t love a bumble bee 🐝
🐝📚BUMBLEBEE BOOKSTACK🐝📚 After seeing a few black & yellow stacks I couldn’t help but join in, love how these colours look together! Have only read 3 of this stack - oops!🤦♀️ 3 are on list to read very soon though! Have you read any of these ‘buzzing’ reads?📖 #BookTwitter

My mum's comment after last night's Ilkley Literature Festival fringe event on the dark psychological experiments which had inspired my book, The Escape Room, was...'wow, I'm amazed you were able to answer all those questions about psychology.' Thanks mum. It is my profession 😂
