I absolutely loved this book, and I still can’t understand why it didn’t make the shortlist of the Booker Prize (2025).

Thomas Flett is a shanker: he takes a horse and cart to the beach at low tide and scrapes across the shore for shrimp that he sells to a local merchant for cash. It’s a hard life, and the quality of the shrimp deteriorates as the pollution affects them.

Thomas is the result of his mothers relationship at just 15 with a school teacher. He never knows this man, as he joined up and was then killed in the war to escape the disgrace of what he’d done. He lives with her in his dead grandfathers house, and his mother suffers for having kept him. She remains unmarried still, and has had few opportunities in her life - much like Thomas. Life as a shanker is hard, repetitive and dangerous. So when a Hollywood film maker turns up on their doorstep offering a lot of money for Thomas’ knowledge of the seashore and tides, Thomas is more than happy to help him.

Seascraper covers themes of identity, social class, illusion vs reality and mental health - so much in just 176 pages. It’s no wonder that Thomas is interested by the offer of the film maker: he wants to sing at his local pubs folk nights, but he has to hide his guitar and his talent from his mother. She sees spending any money or time on anything other than work a waste of money. His life is relentlessly dull and hard.

Seascraper has stayed with me long after I read it, and I will be looking for the authors other books to read.

Don't Breathe is an interesting case of a horror movie. It's a home invasion movie, but our main character is not the home owner, it's the people who have broken into the house.
Our main character's, Rocky, Alex, and Money, have made a living breaking into houses. They are able to accomplish this due to Alex's father having the codes to all the alarm systems. Rocky is trying to get her sister out of their abusive home and Money promises her a big payout from this blind old man's house. Rocky agrees to one last job but things do not go as planned.
Don't Breathe has a pretty solid premise and delivers on a lot of it's scares. My main problem would be the twist which I'm not going to spoil for you here, but I'll say it's pretty unbelievable and took a lot of enjoyment out of the movie for me. All and All I'd say give it a view.

I love the options to make boards for different things so you don't save craft ideas with cooking and so you can actually go back and find stuff. (1 more)
There are tons of ideas, more than most can think of or do in a lifetime.
My only pet peeve is that in order to access Pinterest you have to download the app or use the desktop website. It won't let you use your mobile browser & sometimes I don't have room for the app but would still like to browse without having to use a PC (0 more)
Love Pinterest!
A lot of ideas have saved me money and I am currently using it to plan my vow renewal as well as organize our apartment on a budget and they have tons of great ideas that I know will save me time and money. I highly recommend it. But know that you may find so much stuff you wont know what to do first and may not be able to complete all that you desire to if you have a short time frame. Also, always have a back up plan because everyone knows of the #PinterestFails LOL
