Happy 2d Birthday Fictional Therapy!

Simple as it may be. I found the poetry journal most inspiring.

I’m not sure anyone here knows me enough to take this hint tho!

Love the clock!

I spent one memorable evening at the White Horse, 40 plus years ago. Truth is I can't remember very much of it at all. Cheers

My husband and son chipped in and got me that Jane Austen book collection last Christmas! I love it.

Really lovely ideas.

Now for a sad story/tale of romantic woe (haha - feel free to use this for a fictional therapy column)

My last literary relationship ended way, way back in 2004. Since then, I've had multiple relationships, and was married for 8 years (together for 12). And not a single girlfriend since 2004 has ever got me anything book-related. On top of that, neither have my parents, even though I've been a bibliophile (or even a bibliomaniac) all my life. My mother-in-law - bless her - tried by getting me a book on the history of scotch (I love scotch). Luckily my sister gets me books over the years, but sometimes it's just nice to get literary gifts without asking for them.

Ah well, I shan't give up hope, one day perhaps 😂
