Deep wheel Orcadia | Harry Josephine Giles

This Orcadian verse SFF novel with accompanying standard southern English version tells the story of a student returning to a space station from her art studies who forms a relationship with a visitor to the station.

While it was fun matching up the two versions and listening to the audiobook on Everand, there seemed to be a lot missing from the actual story which suddenly just stopped in the middle of the action. A disappointment.

It seems like I caught the flu at the end of my holiday. I am home now, pretty sick. Not even being able to read. 🙈
This is the house Robert Burns was born in Alloway.

Deblovestoread The flu this year is no joke. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹 9mo

5 Stars and, most importantly, I now like poetry! • "Poyums" by Len Pennie is a collection of poetry in both English and Scots, reflecting her advocacy for the Scots language and mental health. Pennie gained popularity on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland, where she posted Scots word of the day videos. ⬇️

suvata The poems in "Poyums" touch on various themes, including feminism and experiences of abuse, and Pennie's work has been celebrated for its humor, honesty, and the unique perspective it offers on language and identity. The book was well-received, becoming an instant bestseller in the UK, and Pennie has been recognized for her contributions to poetry and the promotion of the Scots language.

Len Pennie's poyums is phenomenal! Written in a mix of Scots and English, the collection is hard hitting and emotionally resonant. Truly brilliant writing.
5/5⭐
