Here’s Nimbus. She is my furry companion. This look means it’s past bedtime and she’s cross that I’m still up. #cats #judgement
"None of this happened before you came." Covering the flowing landscape of Scotland + creating a true horror tale, this Victorian gothic mystery is a wonderful read! I did not see that surprise ending coming! OoOoOoo! @elainethomson123.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Neil MacKay in the Herald today. Said this about Hawthorn!! 🤩❤️
This is my new book (26/026). It's the 1st time in years that I'll be published as 'Shona' rather than 'S.G.'and I am very happy to be reclaiming my name. It's about a reading society formed in a northern Scottish town in the 1830s. Drama ensues. (My mother-in-law crocheted the shawl 🧶)

libro.fm/audiobooks/9... Absolutely cannot recommend this book, Hawthorn, A Scottish Ghost Story, by Elaine Thomson, highly enough. A perfectly weighted classic in the style of Robert Louis Stevenson, and a delight to listen to, narrated here by Lorne MacNaughton. @elainethomson123.bsky.social
