My pre-order arrived! I don’t buy a huge number

My pre-order arrived! I don’t buy a huge number of books on pre-order (I know, I know!!) but there are certain authors who I will always buy in advance. Colson Whitehead is a guaranteed pre-order author for me. Do you have any must-buy authors? #amreading #preorder #bookpost #bookstagram #harlemshuffle #newbooks #blackauthors

Books and cake - the perfect combination! I’m lo

Books and cake - the perfect combination! I’m looking forward to reading #BlackCake (publishes 3rd Feb). Check out the blurb below 👇🏽 Eleanor Bennett won't let her own death get in the way of the truth. So when her estranged children - Byron and Benny - reunite for her funeral in California, they discover a puzzling inheritance. First, a voice recording in which everything Byron and Benny ever knew about their family is upended. Their mother narrates a tumultuous story about a headstrong young woman who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder, a story which cuts right to the heart of the rift that's separated Byron and Benny. Second, a traditional Caribbean black cake made from a family recipe with a long history that Eleanor hopes will heal the wounds of the past. Can Byron and Benny fulfil their mother's final request to 'share the black cake when the time is right'? Will Eleanor's revelations bring them back together or leave them feeling more lost than ever? #newbook #bookpost #rumcake #amreading #bookstagram #blackreaders #familyfiction

It’s been a busy week… A trip to see #rocketsandbluelights @nationaltheatre on Wednesday. The first book launch I’ve been to this year was to celebrate #TheHiddenChild with @louisefeinauthor 🎉🥳📚 And I’ve decided to fully invest in flamenco by signing up to an 8 week course. Plus new shoes! 💃💃💃 Anyway, I’m exhausted! How did I used to go out all the time?! #theatre #goingout #newbooks #flamenco #busyweek #booklaunch #weeklyrecap #tired

Not really the best day for sewing ☀️🥵but I was so close to finishing this t-shirt and I always hate the sewing up part of a project anyway. Knitted in cotton yarn. Added bonus: I guessed the size right and it fits! #weareknitters #wednesdaytee #sundaymood☀️ #heatwave #crafts #knitting #blackknittersofinstagram #cottontee

Turns out that theatre trips are like buses - you

Turns out that theatre trips are like buses - you go over a year without, then go twice in the same week. Monday was #DonGiovanni at the #RoyalOperaHouse. Great seats and the added excitement of a cast change halfway through Act 1 (I did think I needed my eyesight checking when DG suddenly de-aged and, I must admit, became quite a lot fitter). Tonight was #Constellations at the #Vaudeville. The multiverse meets a love story. Both sad and hilarious, my favourite combination. Plus it’s 75 minutes long and who doesn’t love a short play? There are four cast combinations- I watched Sheila Atim and Ivanno Jeremiah who were excellent. Obviously with social distancing in place both theatres felt really safe. I guess we’ll see what happens from Monday but both evenings had a great atmosphere and it’s great to be back in theatres!! #theatre #westend #nightsout #theatreland #culture #londonlife

New art! I had a couple of postcards left over from when #ThisLovelyCity proofs went out back in 2019 (!!). I’ve been meaning to do something with them ever since and finally got round to it. The postcards are in blue and I’ve displayed them alongside cut up greeting cards by @bespokediva and some black and white photos of Windrush passengers and later arrivals through the 50s and 60s. #art #newart #framed #blackandwhite #sundaymotivation #windrushart #pictureframe
