Sunny evening with a great book, watching my boys play cricket from the comfort of my car (well, listening to them play anyway)! #GlasgowBoys @margaretmcdonald.bsky.social

Switching it up this weekend with a classic that’s not a children’s/YA book. A recommendation and birthday gift from a good friend. Anyone read it?

The eldest is very proud of his latest ‘book stairs’ organisation. He has one of those high beds and decided to use the steps up for a double purpose. Love it!

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.

What are your thoughts on ‘clean teen?’ I’ve only come across this genre recently and it seems to be rising in popularity. The thinking is that there’s that there are limited pickings betwen middle grade reads and YA reads as the jump seems to be somewhat drastic in those ‘tween’ years. Thoughts?
