I'm declaring it... this is THE book of the summer, so snaffle a copy of your very own asap. It's filled with family & food & Rome & sunshine aaaaand the most delicate, lovely little romance. It's an atmospheric page-turner that'll leave you smiley and happy. An utter delight!

I don't think I have to tell most people who follow me why libraries are important, or that they're under threat in the UK. But I want to make sure everyone knows Lambeth libraries are going on strike and there's a solidarity hardship fund HERE linktr.ee/savelambethl... #KidlitUK #SaveLibraries

I RACED through this utterly fabulous one over Easter, it's Winter themed but hey, that doesn't matter. A short read. An impactful read. An adult novel told from a child's point of view so skillfully. Brightly Shining by Ingvild Rishøi.

So, for any new followers... Just over five years ago, we were a bookshop about to close down. We reopened on November 2nd 2019, after we took the keys with no real idea on what to do, other than a passion for children's and YA books ❤️ And here we are! #kidlituk

Today I have actual poems published in an actual book, Cosy Poems! The Power of Quiet contains lines which have been floating around my mind for quite some time. There's a whole (PB) story hugging the sentiment those lines express. So grateful to see them stepping out, quietly, into the world. 1/2
