Book talk news! Places I’m aiming to get to this autumn and winter include Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh and the East of England. If you live in or near any of them and would like to see me, let your local indie bookshop know! #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek #ADHDAwarenessMonth

Thanks! Reading up on it, it seems like it’s a meds + age thing (I’m late-diagnosed/medicated had no trouble with rollercoasters as a child)

ADHD meds takers: Do they give you bad motion sickness? Asking from a day at Thorpe Park…

Happy wedding anniversary to these two! (And thanks for starring in one of my greeting cards…)

My partner would absolutely do this! And ditto. He’s also very likely dyslexic so would consult me on the spelling… 😂

@maxinefrances.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 7:21 AM

Well, I’m very impressed with your Placebo puns this pure morning….

@maxinefrances.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 7:20 AM

👏👏

@maxinefrances.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 7:20 AM

Excellent!

Won’t lie, I wouldn’t have spotted the gardening business/Placebo lyric crossover potential

Gardening van with the slogan “A friend in need is a friend indeed but a friend with weed is better”

FYI, I’m borrowing audiobooks from the library now and it’s lovely. The best two apps are BorrowBox and Libby

More thoughts on Harrison and Lily in The Archers than I can or should put into this box

Hi BlueSky: Are there any good alternatives to Spotify which offer music AND audiobooks? (I keep falling asleep without the sleep timer on and burning through my whole audiobook allowance. Their solution is “Just pay us more money to keep replaying the same book…” 🙄)

Are they similar to the ones where a bot pretends to be a book publicist hawking their services?

I got a diagnosis while it was still shameful and secret and I will tell you getting that diagnosis probably saved my life. I couldn't understand why the world seemed to make sense to everyone else. Knowing I was working from a different rulebook gave me patience to learn what I needed to thrive.

I’ve been decaff in the morning since starting meds six years ago. I only do tea or a can of coke later in the day but was wondering whether I could start to risk a morning coffee…

Surreal “look whose my book is next to on my friend’s pile!” moment...
