BOOK REVIEW š
T for Tolerance by @KatherineBlessan_author
š š š š
I read this book pretty quickly and as a lover of dystopian fiction, that wasn't a surprise. I thought the concept of the world, set in England in 2040 was fascinating and a brave one for the author to tackle. We follow the life of Sathya who experiences how freedom of speech is becoming increasingly squeezed out of her world. She's thrown into a life of unexpected trouble, many that a teenager of her age should never face. In that way, its similar to The Hunger Games and Divergent. A book with quite a few twists and turns, T for Tolerance would be good for most readers, especially young adults.

I bought some more books tehe š
Any thoughts on these??
It's great to chat about what you're reading, what you're going to read, and what others recommend so I hope to do a lot more of that on here! Particularly in the dystopian and stories I've found with soul. Woohoo š

A lil' bank holiday treat š
It's a lot of fun when your work finally gets into the hands of readers. You might wonder why we'd ever give anything we've worked on away for free. Of course, there's limits but giving people the opportunity to read your work at no extra cost boosts your visibility and introduces someone new to your writing who might not have taken the plunge otherwise.
So, if you're a dystopia lover and looking for something you can read in an hour, download The Swell now. Come Tuesday, it's back to full-price!

I've been thinking about recently. So many of us would love the dream of writing full-time but it's often not the reality.
You know what I've realised, that's a great thing. A privilege.
I realise that while I have frustrations that my writing alone isn't making me a living, all the other 'stuff' is giving me the skills, relationships and experiences that over all, make a blessed life.
Today I'm grateful for how many plates I've got spinning š
Maybe one day I won't spin as many but for now, it's good.

A huge lesson for me as an author.
When you celebrate other people's successes, it produces love, joy and above all, inspiration.
When I've compared myself, it's only produced jealousy, discontentment and frustration. None of those have been helpful. Instead celebrating with others has motivated me to work better, harder and with more grace. šŖ
