👋 I’m not spending as much time on X as I used to but you can find me on BlueSky as Handwritten Girl and Mastodon as Handwritten to see more of my ramblings.

Over the last few months, I’ve put aside some time each evening to do some writing and my first draft is almost complete.

Spent the last few days watching all the ‘Final Destination’ films and ‘Jennifer’s Body’. Any recommendations for what to watch next? I’ve tapped into a genre that I’m quite enjoying.

Just a girl with her cornflake box.

Once, there was a time when we were the youngest in the room and now we’re the oldest. Like, what happened? How did it all go by so quickly?

I was not prepared for all the emotions whilst watching ‘Project Hail Mary’ what an absolutely stunning film! As usual Ryan Gosling delivered a stellar performance whilst wearing a quirky cardigan very well!

Today I finally finished ‘The Walsh Sisters’ by Marian Keyes. It encapsulates beautifully the hardships of life, grief, addiction, the pressure of becoming pregnant, the hurdles of being a mum & finding your place in society. All wrapped up with wit, drama & Irish charm.

Happy publication day to Chris Carter, a on the release of ‘Hide and Seek’ a clever psychological thriller with a wicked twist. @simonschusterUK

Has anyone watched the film adaptation of ‘The Housemaid’? I forgot how gory the book was and literally had to cover my eyes at some parts. Pretty good version, I thought. What did you think?

Saturday morning reading with @lisajewelluk #ItCouldHaveBeenHer

What a night listening to Jan Carson and @author_magfarr in converation where Maggie talked about her new book called ‘Land’, a story inspired by the mapping of ireland after the Great Hunger. A fantastic evening, thanks to The MAC and No Alibis for organising it

Be honest. How many times have you watched ‘Off Campus’?

Quick question, is ‘Want to Know a Secret?’ by @Freida_McFadden a new book or an existing book under a new name?

A huge thank you and well done to @BridgeBooksDro1 for another fantastic #DromoreBookFestival. I was fortunate to attend talks with #ClaireAllan, @annamcpartlin, @MiriamOCal, @svjdempz and #LizNugent and I loved every second of it!

Saturday reading. #AbigailDean

I’ve just watched ‘Weapons’ and I don’t think I’ll sleep ever again.

‘A Family Matter’ by @vintagebooks author #ClaireLynch is a beautifully written story about a fractured family, a broken society and a sweet little girl in the middle of it all. I loved it so much!

Happy publication day to @PenguinIEBooks author #LizNugent on the release of her new book called ‘The Truth about Ruby Cooper’ a dark and tangled story riddled with lies and betrayal. #BookReview #TheTruthAboutRubyCooper

Happy publication day to @MichaelJBooks author @LesleyPearse on the release of her book called ‘The Girl with the Suitcase’. Looking forward to reading this one soon. Thank you @ed_pr for the copy of the book. #TheGirlWithTheSuitCase

‘Bring Me Sunshine’ is by @BoldwoodBooks author @alexbrownbooks is a beautifully written story that will brighten up the darkest of days and is a glorious book about friendship and was an absolute page turner from the first page.
