Peter Apps is the GOAT when it comes to untangling London’s housing crisis. Show Me The Bodies was as gripping as a thriller and left me in tears. This one is basically showing me the straight line you could draw between landlord greed and schools cutting support staff - including librarians

Happy #NationalPoetryDay. I picked Lochan by Kathleen Jamie for a school assignment in primary school and it's still my favourite to this day

Finally ticked this one off last night - pretty delightful, wasn’t expecting the romance to be quite so much fun. Bit inconsistent around the middle but a very fun premise thoughtfully executed #BookSky #SchoolLibrarian

Enjoying one last night of solo reading before I move in with my bf (who will be forced to sit and admire me whilst I read, I assume.)

Obsessed with the stuff the school dining hall comes up with as the end of term approaches. What do you mean today’s dessert is chocolate crispie cake with profiteroles squished on top?

Happy world book day #LibrarySky and #Booksky! We don’t really do costumes at secondary school but I like to make a little effort.

Absolutely baffling move of desperation here from the Rand institute, who are paying to advertise free copies of Atlas Shrugged as it its the Gideon bible #BookSky

This reminds me of when some publishers re-covered classics following the twilight boom. Wuthering Heights rebranded as "Bella and Edward's favourite books." #Booksky

Unsurprising, given it's nigh on unenforceable. Kids hand in parents' old handsets, and have workarounds for internet restrictions on their laptops and other devices. We have to focus on the corrosion of attention span happening off-campus if we have any hopes of stemming this tide.

Nonsense from Badenoch at PMQs -- no, Olympians aren't qualified to teach PE, nor are Doctors qualified to teach biology. Good teaching requires specific training and a certain temperament, which I'm sure many Doctors and Olympians don't have.

Getting me through the darkest days of the year — for my sins my first time with Middlemarch. Part of my New Year’s resolution to get one big fat book off my TBR a month. #booksky
