Continued the girls’ film education with GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES 💁🏼‍♀️ Both of them have names inspired by golden age Hollywood stars, so it’s really special sharing classic movies with them 🥰

(They were also ecstatic over the WICKED FOR GOOD poster 💚🩷)

Hi Abigail! Hope you’re well 😊 Check out the starter packs that people have created, as it’s a great way to connect with likeminded people. @susiesbookreviews.bsky.social has some brilliant bookish ones! Also, if you use 💙📚 or 📚💙 in your post it becomes part of the #booksky network 😄

Yay! Always great to find fellow audiobook lovers 🙌 I think my favourite 2024 audiobook was The Dead Friend Project by Joanna Wallace. The narration by Imogen Church was absolutely brilliant - hilarious, but also dark where required 😄

My Audible reading round up for 2024 came through!

Please let 2025 be the year the debates around whether audio is reading stop 🙏

Do you like audio? I’m proud of these stats 😄
