@stormylynwrites I have never done BookTok. I don't have a TikTok account. From what I hear through BookTube, I'm not even tempted.

How do you feel about BookTok? I personally feel like BookTok influencers get stuck talking about the same ten mediocre books. Have you ever found something you really liked because of BookTok though?

Isn’t it cool that once you publish, those characters and their story live on long after you? Your words remain on the pages & in the memories of those you leave behind. They become a part of your legacy. 🫶🏼 #writingcommunity

@RyanTheSoapking Raymond should be Fox. It will be easier for him at school and in daily life, and it's the natural name for him to use. Jack was petty to compare it to Ricky, who was old enough at 13 to have a say himself, and decided that he was more of a Branning.

@RyanTheSoapking Lauren is now doubting herself, as she moved Cindy's body, and she was out of it on those meds. It is bad for her, as her DNA will be there. But I feel sure that someone else attacked Cindy. I hope that Peter supports Lauren on this.

@KarenLNHollis I'm standing my ground with the spellings where it is currently acceptable to use the UK or US option, but if the next generations go for American versions, ours will eventually fade out. I'm definitely resisting.

@paulapuddephatt Definitely becoming more Americanised...

Why is Lauren saying "car lot" in #EastEnders ?? Aren't we British, not American???

@DD33872584 He really does. 🤭🤣 Up next, Nicola. That should be fun...! 😀

@paulapuddephatt Jack has an obsession with the Mitchell’s as well 😬🤭

If your ship survives a breakup, you know they are going to be good & full of all the wonderful angst and brilliant make up scenes making them stronger. If they survive more than one, that’s pure soulmatism due to their continuation of being constantly drawn back to each other❤️

@RyanTheSoapking I can understand why Denise is reluctant to tell Chelsea, but it will be worse if she just finds out. It does seem as though Denise is keeping her options open with both Jack and Ravi.

@Wee_Westie29 @bbceastenders At least they're both honest about it. 🤣

Denise : 3 kids, 3 psycho dads Jack : 3 kids, 3 mums, 2 of them cousins. Quite the family tree 🤣 #Eastenders @bbceastenders

@DD33872584 Exactly. They don't seem able to just stay friends, either. And Stacey can't quite overcome her obsession with Branning men...! 🤭

@paulapuddephatt I do think with Martin and Stacey that it’s a tricky one, I’d like them to get back together, but I’m not sure if they’ll just end up breaking up again, but instead of it being soulmates, it becomes quite a strange cycle in a way. Not toxic, but maybe not fully suited then 🥺

@bbceastenders Do adults in Albert Square ever grow out of swings? 🤣

One Cin. Nine suspects. #EE40 #EastEnders #Cindy #George #Lauren

@Stopworkplacebu So true. x

Survivors listen because they know exactly how it feels to be unheard.

@DD33872584 Yes, I love Kat and Alfie, too. ❤️ I feel somewhere in between about Martin and Stacey. I know some people totally ship them, but they just seem to be in an endless cycle. I'm sure they will get back together though, and they do have chemistry.

@paulapuddephatt That’s true actually about it becoming toxic. I think I’m in my lovey feels atm🤣 Kat and Alfie are my ultimate breakup and then reunite, they are destined to be together. Exactly about breaking up, is it even a ship or proper soap couple if they haven’t at least broken up once😁

@YorkshireBook48 So true. x

One persons favourite book ever can be another person's DNF after 3 chapters book, neither is right or wrong. The magic of reading is there's something out there for all our tastes ❤️📚

@audible_com I love re-listens, so it's an ongoing conflict. 🤣❤️

us: our TBL list keeps getting longer and longer also us: *re-listens to ‘Fourth Wing’ and ‘Iron Flame’ and will probably listen to ‘Onyx Storm’ twice too.

A traumatized person often shares their story because they’re scared. They’re living with tension, confusion, & pain that they don’t know what to do with. Validating them allows them to believe they are safe. Shaming them increases their pain & gives them more to heal from.
