Decided to keep track of my reading in 2021. I read some really great books and enjoyed keeping track of them too. Starting Book 1 of 2022 tonight!

@scratchcarddust The colour looks beautiful too! 😍

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

@NatashaCL7 Not the biggest, but one that sticks with me was when I was about 16 and expressed an interest in acting/performance. He said "ugh I hate when guys' girlfriends are actresses". I was always through the lens of "his", it was never "you look pretty" it was "my gf is hot!" 😒

Delighted to have my book review published in this new volume of @Apardjon1! Really looking forward to reading the whole thing too.

Such an interesting study of witches and demons by Gráinne Aspel to finish off the panel papers today! #UCCInkwell

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

Marina Spielberg has really piqued my interest in looking further into what makes a chivalric figure in Middle English romances #UCCInkwell

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

A very strong start to #UCCInkwell this morning with Matty and Rosemary both giving fascinating papers!

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

@RosemaryKelly96 Haha now that sounds like a plan! Good luck tomorrow, I can't wait to hear your paper! :)

Hoping to attend a zoom conference tomorrow, is it the norm for attendees to have their cameras on or off? I don't want to be rude with it off but also will need notice if I am to look human

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

@uccinkwell What a great line-up! What do I do to get the Zoom details? :)

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

Beauty and the Beast. I guess I am trapped in this apartment reading books and befriending the crockery...

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

I've been listening to this song and others by @TheLongestJohns a lot in the past few weeks - top class for some aural escapism from ✨everything✨

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

"Staff meeting, is it lads?"

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

"It may be years before we produce another author with such a nose for an elf" - what a line!

Long-standing @TolkienSociety member Alan Reynolds reminded me of these two early reviews of The #Hobbit, on the left by a TLS reviewer, and on the right by C.S. Lewis of all people! Bilbo the dwarf and Gollum "the fish-man"!!! 😂😂😂

[Peggy Gilbert @PeggyGilbert96]

Reading "The Hungry Road" by Marita Conlon-McKenna currently, and noticing some interesting parallels to the fear of illness and contagion experienced at the moment. Historical fiction seeming that bit more gripping, in the current climate!

@queertyyr I get this completely, it's hard when you have a day job too. I've used loads of my holiday time from my day job to do other work, so actual rest feels far off!
