I had such high hopes for this one and even though I enjoyed some aspects of it, I felt that the writing was clunky in places and that the author was just forcing the story at times. It really got me thinking, though. Have you read it? What did you think? #TitleTuesday

Scratching an itch by borrowing these from my local library 📚 I'm so grateful that libraries still exist, despite rumours that they are on their way out. What did you last borrow from the library? #ThoughtfulThursday #LocalLibrary #IAmReading #Asterix #AsterixAndObelix

Happy Lefthanders Day! #DidYouKnow that left-handers are also known as ‘Southpaws’? The term comes from baseball, as left-handed players would pitch south in order to accommodate for their left-handed throw. Are you left-handed? #TriviaTuesday #FunFacts #LefthandersDay

The rational part of my brain KNOWS it’s one of our two kitty cats, but the irrational, instinctive part just panics and is convinced there’s a snake curled up by the door 🐍 I jumped three times yesterday 🙄😆 #CatsLife #CatsOfInsta #IrrationalFears #BrainTakingOver

Okay thanks, I'll get right on it . . . 🙄 I don't know what's more frustrating: that convincing spam like this exists, or that they've used two different font sizes! Has anyone else seen an increase in spam in their inboxes recently? #spam #DHL #address #PersonalDetails

I spotted a pleonasm in a recent editing project. My client had written ‘heart arrhythmia’, but as arrhythmia refers to the heart anyway it isn’t needed. What other pleonasms can you think of? #TypoTuesday #EditingSpots #pleonasm #grammar #EnglishLanguage #proofreader

Yesterday marked four years of Proofreading By Charlotte! This is the longest time I’ve ever stayed in one job, which blows my mind a little! Does anyone else have a #BusinessBirthday coming up? #FourYears #FourthBirthday #BusinessOwner #proofreader #copyeditor #freelance #WFH

I wrote all of these!! The Lifeline comes out in paperback on 15th August and I just received my copies to add to my stack. It makes me so happy seeing these five books together 💙

Three random facts about me: 1) I have a strong aversion to sandwiches. 2) I have never been to the hairdressers. 3) I have a mild obsession with Eeyore. What are some random facts about you? I’d love to know! #WickedWednesday #FunFacts #AboutMe #MeetTheEditor #RandomFacts

My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.

Who knew that reading about chess would be so exciting?! Even though I'd watched the series first, I still found myself rooting for Beth & the description of each chess match was surprisingly riveting! Did anyone else read this after watching the series? What did you think?
