- No #DnD tonight and I feel a bit empty inside. I might make some new characters to take the edge off. #ttrpg #CharacterCreation
- Reposted by Fran.I'm going to be so real if my ex friend dragged me into a fantasy world, I'm immediately going apeshit like wow the power of magic but also you can't just change the plans like that
- He took me shopping for books because I was sad. He's a keeper. #Books #BookTok @waterstones.bsky.social #Romantascy #NewBookDay #BookWorm #ILoveBooks @megalatron.bsky.social
- I want to run a cosy fantasy themed book/coffee shop where people can come and hang out and talk about their lives with me. Maybe play #DnD too. And read plenty of #romantascy. And people buy stuff to keep me in business. Knowing me, it'd end up like Black Books though.

- Women's rumble was stellar. Sol Ruca was amazing! Men's was... Meh... standout performance from the Bouncy Boy. Both singles matches were brilliant too! Might start watching properly again. #RoyalRumble #WWE #RoadToWrestlemania
- It's time for the Royal Rumble! We haven't watched WWE since SummerSlam... we have no idea what's going on! At least it starts at a reasonable time for us UK folk for once. Woohoo! @megalatron.bsky.social #WWE #RoyalRumble
- I just remembered we have #DnD tonight and I now have a spring in my step. I would like to fireball, please. #ttrpg #dnd5e #5e #sorcerer #homebrew #campaign

- New words in our house to describe my avoidance of work: 1. Pronapstinate - having a nap instead of working. 2. Prosnackstinate - hunting for food instead of working. 3. Probathstinate - having a bath instead of working. Currently attempting number 1. Might have a 3 later. #procrastination
- I've been so swamped with work that i haven't had time to read my book in 5 days. 5 days! It's a travesty. Make it stop. #BookWorm #TeacherLife #EduSky #BookNerd #BookTok #Hobbies #Reading #Overworked
- The worst bit about teaching is the admin. So much admin every week. There are not enough hours in a day to complete it all. Especially when you're neuro-spicy 🙄 #TeacherLife #EduSky #Education
- Tonight in #DnD I adopted a donkey called Glue. He's telepathic. He's Minque's new best friend. #DnD5e #ttrpg #newfound #talkingdonkey
- Happy New Year! We spent our evening solving crime, drinking wine and slaughtering each other at Scrabble. Misty helped @megalatron.bsky.social win one. #NYE #HappyNewYear #CatSky #BoardGames #CatsOfBlueSky
- Reposted by Fran.The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.
- New book time. This book cover is absolutely divine. Let's hope the book is too! #ChristmasBooks #Quicksilver #CallieHart #BookNerd #BookWorm #BookTok
- Hahaha! Good one. #obsidian #OuterWorlds2
- My 10yo melts me sometimes. We were having a conversation about Christmas and he stopped mid-sentence to say "your hair looks lovely today. Have you dyed it? It's a really nice colour!" He's either an absolute sweetheart or angling for extra presents 🎁 😂 #parenting #christmas #compliments
- Watching #AHS Cult and my cat keeps slow blinking at Sarah Paulson whenever she comes on screen. As soon as she's gone - its back to grooming. She must be a big fan 😂 #SarahPaulson #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky
- One of my favourite things at the minute is the K-Pop Demon Hunters metal/rock/pop-punk covers. It's keeping me going this week 😂 #kpopdemonhunters #covers #music
- Came home at about 8pm and my 10yo asked "can I stay up for a bit, as a treat? We can sit and read together with just the Christmas lights on. I'll read my book and you read yours!" I am always happy to oblige for that kind of activity! #neurodivergence #booknerd #bookworm #adhd #autism
- Husband is out, child is at his grand parents. I came home to the cat yelling at me. I can do anything I want this evening but all I'm going to do is snuggle up on the sofa and read my book. Uninterrupted. (Except for the cat's yelling) Bliss. #BookWorm #BookNerd #Romantascy
- Off to #MCMComicCon today. First time going and I'm excited and anxious (crowds). I get to see James McAvoy in the flesh. I might melt.
- Saturday morning trip to Solihull. 5 new books and a coffee with my love. Happy Fran. #BookNerd #BookWorm #Coffee #Date #Romantascy
- My 10yo has showered, picked a shirt and chino combo (very smart), sprayed body spray "I gotta smell good" and insisted I put hair spray on his hair after he styled it to keep it looking "really good". Christmas school discos are serious business. #SchoolDisco #parenting #primaryschool
- I had a break for a few (2) days because I couldn't choose which new book to start. But my husband chose this one for me so it's only right I give it a read. It better be good or I'm divorcing him. #BookSky #WhentheMoonHatched #BookWorm #BookNerd #NewBookDay
- Book 4. I'm honestly so happy with my Night Court edition versions of these books too. Aesthetically pleasing to my eye 😂 #ACourtOfFrostAndStarlight #ACOTAR #BookWorm #BookNerd
- Apparently this is book 3.5. Not 4. I am mistaken!
- So... book 3.5 didn't take long. It was a lovely pallet cleanser after the heaviness of book 3. Now onto book 4... I'm not sure I'm ready for the series to end (for now). #ACOTAR #ACourtOfSilverFlames
- Michael Rosen. I didn't discover him until later on when I had my son (except for We're Going on a Bear Hunt). However, his poems are a staple in my classroom :) #Bookvember

- The author who caught my attention - and that I remember vividly is Michelle Paver. I remember picking up Wolf Brother when I was 12, based on the cover (I know, I know) and was hooked. Her stories stuck with me. I'm thinking I'll have to dig the books out again for my son... #Bookvember

- Tough one because there are so many. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. A teacher told me at 7/8, "you shouldn't be reading that book. It's too hard for you." So naturally I read it out of spite. I loved the thought that an ordinary person could become part of the extraordinary. #Bookvember
