2/3 Oh! And write what you love. You will edit it SO many times, you really have to love it. Writing is re-writing and you have to have a whole lot of heart in there to keep pulling something apart and putting it back together again. #ukteenchat

My #bookstagram #bookreview of 'Mismatch of the Season by Michelle Kenney: Author I loved this witty Regency romance - feisty female pushing the patriarchal boundaries, social intrigue, adventure, romance...perfect for Jane Austen and Bridgerton fans 😍 www.instagram.com/p/DGqppZZsn4...

Front Cover of The Mismatch Of The Season by Mich Kenney - title in red font and author in white font. Cover is primarily lilac, with lilac flowers framing an illustration of a regency couple standing together but looking disgruntled. Behind them is an illustration in lilac hues depicting The Royal Crescent in Bath. The Book cover is set on a lilac coloured digital background with scroll and heart doodles framing the book cover.

CHOICE is key to becoming a reader. When kids are given a wide range of books to choose from, and are allowed to choose freely - THEY READ! I don’t believe in “reluctant readers” - just readers who haven’t yet found the right books for them. So it’s our job to help them find those books! #literacy

Recently found out that Llama Glamarama (my first picture book) has been put in the restricted section of another US library. It’s about a llama who likes dancing. And I hope it also shows kids that difference is nothing to fear - in yourself, or in others. Imagine restricting that. 😔
