I’m on track to achieve my Goodreads challenge goal of 20 books this year with 17 reached so far. Can I manage 3 more in 2023? It’s likely.
At the moment I’m reading 2 books on the history of witchcraft, for writing research, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have finished those before the year is out. I’ve also got books on the GCSE syllabus for work that count towards my reading goals; luckily I enjoy the ones on my class reading list regardless of needing to read them as part of my job.
Anyway, I’m going to keep this post short today, mainly because there aren’t enough hours in the day and I’d like to spend them reading – and writing. Want to join me with a cuppa and a good book? Alright then, bibliophile buddy. Let’s do it!
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
