So good that you have R to read aloud to you each night, what a treasure!! Do you listen to audio books too? I'm so glad you've finally found the courage to call yourself a poet, but of course, you've always been that to us!! 🤎
I decided once I’d had 10 published I’d call myself a poet, just ignore the huge pile of rejections along the way. I don’t listen to audio books, I find it hard to listen to different voices for some reason. 🤷🏼♀️
I read aloud, and record on WhatsApp voice-notes, to a friend who has pain and sleep issues. We are four years and some fifty books down the line. It's a win-win situation - I love reading aloud, and get huge pleasure from it!
There are some really great books around ATM, the Booker shortlist was fab, and our local library are pretty on-side
It’s fab indeed. I can’t read aloud myself as my dyslexia makes me stumble over words etc and I get very self conscious. So nice of you to do it for someone else.
This was such a helpful thing for me to read.
I appreciate you sharing it again, for those newer to your writing.
You are welcome.
I saw that, but fear not, I will turn a blind eye, ignore my Yorkshireness, and allow clandestine book-buying to continue.

Not a poet or author, but someone that loves one.
Oo permission, now I can spend more, more, more 🤫

Oh, you have a read-aloud buddy, fab.
