This book! I was reading The Best of Worlds By Kenneth Oppel WAY past bedtime last night, I only stopped reading it because the battery on my Kindle ran out. It’s a confidently crafted, perfectly plotted YA sci-fi thriller & it’s blowing my mind 🤯. Thanks to Guppy Books & #Netgalley for the proof.

Just started reading The Last Dragon on Mars by Scott Reintgen and I’m instantly hooked. It’s fast paced, has rich world building, interesting characters that I already care about after only four short chapters and above all it’s very cool!🐉@rocktheboatnews.bsky.social

I'm keen to read more in-depth articles on children's books and I'd love your recommendations - there are sites like Leaf and School Library Journal that I've found great stuff on but there's so much. I'm particularly interested in fantasy, comedy, middle grade/8-12 books (any combo) #KidLitUK

Made my first gluten free baguettes today and they were SO much better than anything you can buy. Dense, chewy texture and proper crust. Worth getting the special tray for. Thank you @beckyexcell.bsky.social 💫🥖💕

Late to the party, but Agatha All Along is all kinds of awesome. Think I might have to watch it again straight away. That song is now playing on a permenant loop in my head though. Curses! 💜 🎶

The kids & I built dens in the Library for the Read-In at the end of our Book Week. Wish they were a permanent fixture because the way everyone instantly curled up in them to read was magical 💕 #kidlituk #schoollibrary #schoollibraries

Three large haphazard dens in an L shape at the back of a school Library. A tent, a ball & rod structure with a camouflage throw on it and a traditional sheet & rope den all furnished with pillows, duvets, blankets and soft toys.

Obviously it would be impossible to talk about all the amazing people and completely heartwarming interactions I had while sat at the Phoenix table this weekend at Thought Bubble. But let’s just have one: the young artist who created this masterpiece, PHILOSOPHY PIG.

A child’s drawing of a pig, with thought balloons emanating from its head, containing the following thoughts:
- What is real, mind or soul? And which makes decisions?
- Who - or what - created atoms? And how? They would have to be made of atoms!
- I think, therefore I am? But am I?
- where is Stupid Philosophy Penguin when you need him?
