Who's got another sacral fracture? I've got another sacral fracture. Meet my new besties for the foreseeable. Should probably find someone who can teach me how to stop falling. Might retrain. Become an astronaut.

2024 was great for reading: fell in love with @LaurenElkin 's writing (Scaffolding + My Nemesis in @WinterPapers = everything), enjoyed new books by old favorites, and found a new crime series to devour thank you @janecaseyauthor. Also: that opening page! damn Clarice! Onwards.

A bit surreal yesterday reading Kevin Power's very kind words about Profiles in his literary journal round-up for the Irish Times. Christmas has come early with Dara Higgins and Chris Beausang's (@fuailalainn) stories getting a special spotlight!

Total brilliance @MaggieStrongarm "The way it went for us was my children put me to bed. They were able to do that, just by being who they were, rummaging and playing games while I lay flat and decided that I had no strength to get up."

[Sofie De Smyter @SofieDeSm]

It's here it's here and it's gorgeous and I'm beyond excited and grateful @PressSans ❤️ Get yours here https://t.co/shbN5CYc2x
