“Learn to be kinder to yourself, which is essence of what it means to be truly mentally healthy.” - #Emotionalresilience by Dr Harry Barry. I’ve learnt so much more about mental wellbeing and this will need working on daily but it is important for me and for others #Mindfulness
“I just don’t want to hear the word c*** shouted repeatedly at 3am every night. I don’t think that’s unreasonable.”
#Antisocial is the secret diary of the ABB officer, #nickpettigrew. I loved the grit, the dark humour and undercoat of politics. 2/50

Happy #InternationalWomansDay ! “When women are involved in decision-making, research, knowledge production, women do not get forgotten. Females lives and perspectives are brought out of the shadows.” - @CCriadoPerez So #ChooseToChallenge sisters, come out into the light ❤️
“Prison mostly feels scarily permanent, punctuated by these unexpected moments of instability.” This was going to be our next book club read before our first initial lockdown. A cold, gritty hard truth. Very grounding. #abitofastretch#chrisatkins#BookReview 1/50

@angelicacofer Yes, Emma is spoilt and quite self-serving I felt. Knightly really keeps her in check! I much rather enjoyed Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice. I want to read all of Austen’s this year!
“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”

Finally finished #Emma by #janeausten after pausing in March. I’m disappointed to say I didn’t enjoy it. Emma and the other characters were not very likeable to me. Any thoughts? #bookreview#bookblog#bookish
A thought-provoking, raw and honest memoir about how he lost his wife 3 days after her diagnosis and how he coped thereafter. It encourages us to open up about #grief, #depression and #anxiety. Life is so beautifully fragile. Carpe Diem.

@TheLitPlace @WomensPrize Ooh if you liked Circe I think you’d like The Silence of the Girls which is also a Greek mythology retelling - one my favourites out of the shortlist 😊
