My 5 stars reads of 2024 I tried to slim it down to a top ten but I read so many books that it was pretty much impossible. I loved every single book featured here. Lots of lovely UKYA which continues to be my favourite thing Thanks to all thr publishers who keep me supplied in reading material.

Quick reminder that the books you read as a kid may have a warm space in your heart, but they may not be appropriate for kids today. Some stories should stay in the past. There are soooo many amazing books published that are inclusive and diverse today, rec those! #Kidslit #Readingforpleasure

Anyone else really not bothered about Christmas this year? I'm looking forward to some time off but been bombarded with advertising for it for so long that I'm bored of all of it before it even starts.

My current knitting project is entirely to blame for my lack of reading time over last couple of weeks but he's now finished and awesome.

Today has mostly been a shelving day. Lots of lovely new books for a school library

Today's school library job involved going through a lot of mouldy books and binning them. Whoever thought lots of pot plants in a library was a good idea was very much mistaken.

This was waiting for me at work today. Very excited to get started on it @ravenaguron.bsky.social
