It’s mortifying to be scrambling to fill a bookstore event but that’s the reality. I’m in Scotland and England next week. There are tix left for these events. The London one will be cancelled if I don’t sell some tickets soon so all pre-bookings and help with getting the word out is appreciated.

Reader friends - I’m looking for a warm, kind, thoughtful, immersive novel. No crime or murders, or dragons or too much tension please. I enjoyed The Names, The Wedding Guest and The Dutch House recently. I’ve read all Elizabeth Strout’s work. Any suggestions? I’d be most grateful! 🙏

As grown-ups we can often fall into the trap of leaning towards serious or ‘issue heavy’ kid’s books, forgetting that kids also need and deserve books that just bring joy. So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, what are your top fun / silly / joyful book recommendations? #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Danger is Everywhere by David O’Doherty and Chris Judge is delightfully funny, daft and clever - a guide to dangerous things like sharks in the toilet and vampire teachers, with brilliant illustrations. Age 8+ They make me laugh so much!
