Emma Pullar @emmapullar.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I've been at Canterbury Waterstones for a year (five years as a bookseller and three years running events) and what a year it has been!

Emma Pullar @emmapullar.bsky.social · 09/09/2023What a great event to celebrate @whatSFSaid's Tyger. It was so nice to see not only excited children but adults, too. Here is my favourite quote of the evening from SF. "A children's book is a book for everyone." 151
