Hare House by Sally Hinchcliffe

I found this book quite good. In parts I found myself holding my breath as mysteries unfold. The subtle elements of witchcraft were a wonderful and quite well researched.

The book is shrouded in a thick mist of unease, as soon as things look up again they get muddled and transformed into something sinister. I’m still gripping to know what it all means, who is the big bad and if there even is a big bad to begin with? Perhaps it’s just a case of a cold and unrelenting winter that drove them all Mad…

I would definitely read this one again and would recommend it to someone just wanting to pick up reading again as I did🥰✨

Those book was borrowed from my local library. Support local libraries! Get ur card today!!

Slug going underwater. Please excuse my trembling with excitement I've never seen this before!!! Fully submerged for 5 mins or so and then popped back out fine. Maybe this is normal leopard behaviour and I just need to spend more time starring at slugs

I gave my #Slaters a cuttlebone I found and they are so happy✨ Look at them chomp✨

hi sorry s'cuse me but were NONE OF YOU GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT BLACK BOOKS OF HOURS???

LOOK AT THIS MAGNIFICENT GOTH-ASS SHIT

EGADDDDDDD

THE IRON-COPPER SOLUTION USED TO DYE THE PAGES WAS SO CORROSIVE THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW SURVIVING EXAMPLES

THESE BOOKS WERE LITERALLY TOO METAL TO LIVE

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, and I really wish somebody had told this to me.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But it’s like there is this gap. For the first couple years that you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good. It’s not that great. It’s trying to be good, it has ambition to be good, but it’s not that good.

But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you’re making is kind of a disappointment to you. A lot of people never get past that phase. They quit.

Everybody I know who does interesting, creative work they went through years where they had really good taste and they could tell that what they were making wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be. They knew it fell short. Everybody goes through that.

And if you are just starting out or if you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Do a huge volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week or every month you know you’re going to finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you’re going to catch up and close that gap. And the work you’re making will be as good as your ambitions.

I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It takes awhile. It’s gonna take you a while. It’s normal to take a while. You just have to fight your way through that.
