Front and back cover of THE ADVENTURES OF BENJAMIN PINK by Garth Williams. An adventuring rabbit in torn clothing is on the front. On the back, the rabbit is wearing a suit and has his arm around a lady rabbit in a dress. He's pointing out to sea, probably describing his adventures.
Happy Book Day!!! This was the first "big" book I read. I was very impressed with myself. And (maybe because of that) I loved the story.
To avoid flack from my CEs, I use "rear seat" and "rear yard," which sound stilted, but at least I don't hate them. And the buildings in my books are made of yellow brick. (But not the roads.)
I HATE it as a noun. Just as much as I would hate "frontseat." I also hate "backyard." We don't have frontyards and sideyards. And I hate "redbrick" (unless you're talking about certain British universities.)

Winter has its rewards. After a cold foggy night, we woke up to magic.

Very much looking forward to colour sprouting from the garden again, I’m bored of brown and grey. I’ll just keep stitching them from my mind until then! 😉 Here’s some snippets taken from my embroideries, some of them from quite long ago… 🪡🌺🌿🪻🌱🌷🌸 #stitchedart #embroidery #thesewingsongbird

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay.
And Happy New Year! www.nigella.com/recipes/new-...

I chose "donut" for my Deputy Donut Mysteries so that if I used the word in a title, the title would be shorter, leaving more room for the book covers' artwork. Also, fewer letters to type (!) in the manuscripts. Call me pragmatic. And lazy . . .
For my writer friends... Writer Beware did an article on the recent spate of fake book clubs trying to scam writers out of cash. Read this...it's quite enlightening. writerbeware.blog/2025/09/19/r...
