Don't read it for the awards, read it because it is an incredible immersive tale that will take to to Italy, both past and present.

@BookSpotlight But it is not a concern that the work AI has stolen was also someone's lifeblood?

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

The yew at Muckross is one of the best examples of its kind in Ireland and is said to be as old as the abbey itself. One theory is that the courtyard and cloisters may even have built around the already mature yew which would make the tree over 600 years old.

@Rowan_Author Can't see that image without the music playing in my head along with light and shadows

[Pompeii Sites @pompeii_sites]

If we are to believe the ancient sources, Roman women were either promiscuous or domestic goddeses. The real lives of women were much more diverse. To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay here are some of the lesser-known and interesting women from ancient Pompeii. #IWD

"No tree becomes rooted and sturdy unless many a wind assails it. For by its very tossing it tightens its grip and plants its roots more securely; the fragile trees are those that have grown in a sunny valley."

Love that my ancestral 'home town' had such strong Roman connections, not to mention a rich 'Germanic' tradition.

A stunning #Roman bowl made of vivid blue glass. It was found in Nijmegen (Netherlands) in absolutely perfect condition - without even the slightest fracture or chip - despite being around 2000 years ago. An amazing find! #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientGlass

@LaraCainGray Love this book, even use it in highschool looking at migrant issues through visual texts.

Traditionally Published authors (no offence to other forms of publishing) how many novels did you write before you were trad. published?

Please note... I seem to have offended already by using the term trauma in a flippant manner. I was referring to the upset resulting from sad films that stays with you ... And in no way disrespect more serious forms of trauma.

[Erryn Lee @erryn_lee]

I was just remembering childhood trauma. Who else remembers these films being played every year? Which hurt you most? Or did you not cry? #sadmovies

Another new find from Pompeii is a collection of small terracottas connected with the religion of the goddess Cybele. Here I explore what the rooster is doing in the group (clue: it's got something to do with Cybele's self-castrated priests).https://t.co/qZncB8oda9

[Erryn Lee @erryn_lee]

@CrAZychicke I can't watch any of them, even as an adult. Too sad. Don't remember vislas but there was Big Red about red setters, same deal.

@JosephKokomo Can't say I 'enjoyed' them, and yet Disney has made a fortune in manipulating kids emotions over the years.

Happy Birthday to my protagonist Agrippina, who was born 2008 years ago today. Mother of Nero, sister of Caligula, wife of Claudius and great-grand-daughter of Augustus. Much maligned by history. Her tale is coming!

[Erryn Lee @erryn_lee]

Why do people say 'distracted by books' like it's a bad thing???

[Erryn Lee @erryn_lee]

@KateForsyth Lucky ladies, it was a fabulous retreat last year, I am sure it will be this year as well!
