I'll always stop for sweet things... My tastes have changed over the years, and some things are (gasp) too sweet for me now, but I'm still a sucker for dessert after meals. #ourstop #laurajanewilliams @laurajaneauthor #bookcovers #coffeeandbooks #sweettooth #sweettreats #romancenovels

Who cares if you've got a muffin top. It's more important to worry about what goes on top of your scones. It's jam, then cream, right? ?? #muffintop #averyflynn @averyflynn #booksandtea #bookpicture #sconesandjam #jamandcream

I'm supposed to be writing all long weekend... but the hubby keeps distracting me with suggestions to go out for lunch, or clean out my office so we can make room for the bookshelves I've been wanting. Oh, if you insist. ??? #wastedwords #wordsnotwasted #stacihart @quirkybird #fruitsmoothie from @grampscafe #awriterslife

Did you know there have never been wild tigers in Africa? Until I went there I just thought that where lions lived, so did tigers. ? I did get to see lions in Kruger, and a whole host of other amazing animals. Would love to go back one day. #learnsomethingneweveryday #moralityforbeautifulgirls #alexandermccallsmith #africanstories #deepestdarkestafrica #bookcovers #needlefeltedanimal

How amazing are elephants! I was lucky to spend time in South Africa several years ago, including at Kruger National Park, to see these amazing creatures roaming around. They are surprisingly well camouflaged given their size! #howtoraiseanelephant #alexandermccallsmith #theno1ladiesdetectiveagency #elephant #africanbooks #botswana #southafrica

For our anniversary weekend away my hubby and I stayed in #african themed accommodation. He's South African, and enjoyed the little touches of home. I enjoyed the chance for some great book photos. #underthebaobabtree #janechidgey #lovestory #giraffe #africanbooks @theafricanvillagemaleny

I found another big seat on the weekend, this one in Maleny. The big seat in the fictional town of #emubend makes another appearance in my latest short story, which will be part of the Christmas edition. More news to come on that one. #emubendanthology #shortstoryanthology #shortstories @malenybotanicgardens #maleny #pinkhair #purplechair

When it's your wedding anniversary and your hubby drives you here to get a book photo. ? #hesakeeper #happyanniversary #bookfarm #theonewefellinlovewith #paigetoon @paigetoonauthor #maleny #bookstagram #pinkhairdontcare

"I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you." What do you notice first in a people? Their eyes? Their smile? Clothing? Hair? Physique? Or is the way they talk and act more telling for you? #janeeyre #charlottebronte #classicfiction #classicreads

It won't take much #persuasion for me to pack my bags and escape for a few days into the wilderness... Well, wilderness but still with cafes and comfy beds and stuff. What's your ideal weekender? #janeausten #classicfiction #classicreads
