We're excited that @christinamriley will be launching Looking Down at the Stars at the lovely @portybooks, in conversation with @rkrystalli ✨

🗓️ Thursday 13th November, 7pm

🎟️ Tickets available via the Porty Bookshop website

✨ Signed and dedicated edition available to pre-order

In 2022, Christina Riley became an ‘underwater artist in residence’ at the Argyll Coast Hope Spot – a place of incredible natural beauty in Scotland also crucial for the health of the world’s oceans. She spent days submerged alongside marine life, before resurfacing to reflect, recreate and recount what she had seen – and the feelings of love, hope and responsibility her experience had evoked in her.

Happy publication day to @francis_sanzaro and The Zen of the Wild 🎉

As we live increasingly urbanised lives, we seek out wilderness and green space in times of hardship and turmoil, or simply during our leisure time. In the process of exploring and understanding more about the benefits of being in nature, many of us have taken up swimming, forest bathing, cycling, hiking and running in the open air. But when we spend this time in the wild, are we really connected to it?

To foster a genuine connection with the natural world, and to better protect it, we must embrace its contradictions as well as the surface beauty. Through deeper engagement with our environment, we can discover the wild within ourselves, too.

Join Linda on board the @bessie_ellen to celebrate the publication of her latest book, Sea Marked: Throwing a Line to a Coastal Past.

⛵ Bessie Ellen, Seaport Marina
🗓 8 September, 6pm
🎟 RSVP lcracknell0@gmail.com

Linda’s quest to learn more about her seafaring family history brings her to a blustery harbour. As she throws a line to pull in a boat, she is struck by the parallel with her mission to reel the past closer to the present, to find her place in a family tree full of mariners whose lives were defined by the ebb and flow of tides.

Today marks Emily Brontë's birthday 📚💙

Discover more about Emily in Emily Brontë Reappraised by @drclaireocall

In this biography with a twist, Claire O’Callaghan conjures a new image of Emily and rehabilitates her reputation by exploring the themes of her life and work, from feminism to her passion for the natural world. She also explores the art, film and television roles Emily has inspired, and the myths and misconceptions about her. What we discover is that Emily was, in fact, a thoroughly modern woman.
