A quickish wrap up of my attempt to read the entire longlist from the 2022 Acorn Fiction Prize, and the far more exciting haul of the 2023 short list. Also coughing. So much coughing.

Presenting all the fiction books on my physical TBR. Now that I’ve filmed this, I realize that I have been lugging some of these books around for over twenty years… there might need to be an unhaul. Let me know if you like to see my non-fiction physical TBR. To connect with me elsewhere online: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/authorerinjdoyle/ Website https://www.erinjdoyle.com

It’s a writing update! Kind of… mostly it’s a not-writing update. But, I may have found a title for my Caminos story. However, it is a Spanish word which does not have an equivalent term in English. Is that weird? To connect with me elsewhere online: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/authorerinjdoyle/ Website https://www.erinjdoyle.com

We have faced a state of emergency in the last week. There has been flooding and slips causing extensive damage to roads and homes. Four lives have been lost. I am safe and my home is dry. I will be back with a new video next week. Kia kaha Aotearoa ❤️

I picked up a few books over the Christmas break so, book haul time. Also, I have been thinking about the possibility of separating my reading and writing content into two channels. Let me know what you think. To connect with me elsewhere online: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/authorerinjdoyle/ Website https://www.erinjdoyle.com

I spent a week in the country over the holidays and made use of the peaceful surroundings to make a start on proofreading my Camino story. The dogs came by for pets a few times, but it was otherwise a quiet time to sit down and focus. Maybe you could use this video as a time to get some of your own writing work done? Let me know what you get up to down in the comments. To connect with me elsewhere online: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/authorerinjdoyle/ Website https://www.erinjdoyle.com

I spent Christmas with family in Australia’s Sunshine Coast. One evening, we saw these parrots converging on a stand of trees in the middle of a random car park. Apparently, they come here every evening, and there are so many birds that it takes over an hour for them all to arrive. Their chatter was deafening. 10/10 To connect with me elsewhere online: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/authorerinjdoyle/ Website https://www.erinjdoyle.com
