Second blogtour of the day....this one definitely not for schoolkids, though! #TheSeventhFloor is a brilliant spy thriller from @mccloskeybooks and @_SwiftPress, and one of the best proof package I've ever received....felt like James Bond opening it! 🤣 www.whatiread.co.uk/post/the-sev...

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries
