We've been loving this interactive, call and response book which gets everyone laughing and dancing. It's also inspired my 3yo to do several 'bare bear butt dances'... You'll have to read it to understand. #funnypicturebooks #kidlit #picturebook

Like everyone else I loved Department Q - very Broadchurchy and soooo good. I've just finished the book it was based on. Both are great, but I will always wonder why the TV adaptation cut out the hilarious image of Assad in his green kitchen gloves! #departmentq #reading #books #tvadaptation

A funny and thoughtful book about a day where everything goes wrong. With a toddler and a new baby in the house we're very familiar with big shouting days. Last night this book was read four times in a row and it nearly became a big shouting bedtime! #picturebook #toddlers #toddlerbooks

Gus the goat wants to know where mole lives - & he really wants it to rhyme too! This is a hilarious picture book! Laugh out loud funny with brilliant wordplay. It's got my whole family laughing this evening. #bookworm #reading #picturebook

How this week has felt: Writing is done in sporadic bursts. Sleep is just as fragmented. Breastfeeding doubles as reading time - moments of calm in the chaos. The soundtrack is my toddler asking me to play on repeat, needing connection.
Being so needed for this short, precious time. #parent #toddler

Tried pitching my latest picture book idea to my 3 year old today.
It did not go well.
Me: is it a good story?
Him: Nooooooo
Me: oh. What should it be about?
Him: POOPOO

I'm still reeling from the latest Maeve Kerrigan book, one of my favourite crime series. The biggest compliment I can pay is that I didn't think any book would be gripping enough to read whilst waiting for my c section - but this one was.

Alleycat Rally by Ricky Trickartt
Asta needs to show the other cats whose boss and competes in the Alleycat Rally.
I'm loving that when feeding the baby I can't play easily but I can read, so we're all enjoying some extra reading time together.

This incredible book has been a godsend whilst in hospital this weekend.
Harry Potter meets Bridgerton. Aurelia's been waiting all her life to take her place as a debutante and find her magical tether so she can join the Ton, when a family curse marks her as an outcast, soon to lose her magic. #read

Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?
A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

Been a bit quiet here lately. After 2 weeks in hospital my son was born early at 34 weeks on 26th April 2025. We're still in hospital, but doing well. My husband drew this picture of us... Apparently my tiredness was showing. 🤣 #nicubaby #writingcommunity

I adore the #murdermostunladylike books by Robin Stevens - my favourite kids mystery series. I've been trying to spread them out over the year after I read the first three in a week.

Reading #thehungrycaterpillar as our bedtime story and my 3yo is putting his hand over the food the caterpillar isn't allowed to eat because my 3yo has dips.
Really hope the caterpillar is better at sharing than a toddler 🤣

3yo keeps demanding made up stories. Good chance to practice writing? Ah no, 3yo keeps refusing character arcs and endings. Baby snail must remain scared of cars and being comforted by Mummy forever more. No character growth allowed here. 🤦🤣 #picturebook #kidlit #toddler #reading #writing #books

I've had such a laugh reading this. #Lottiebrooks by Kate Kirby is like a cross between Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging and Bridget Jones, but for contemporary preteens. #kidlit #funnybooks #iamreading #bookstagram #bookreview #childrensbooks #childrensliterature

We've been loving this laugh out loud take on Mr Men and Little Miss - at the Fire Station. When Mr Lazy forgets to turn off the iron the Fire Crew all work together to help. It's been requested every bedtime since borrowing it from the library. #mrmen #librarybooks #kidlit #picturebook

I'm so glad I'm not in high school anymore... Loved this unputdownable mystery. 5 teens walk into detention, only 4 walk out alive. One of them is a murderer. Fast paced, thrilling read. @writerkmc #teenthriller #kidlit #books #bookworm #reading #bookoftheday

When a little girl's Granny is snatched by a brontosaurus she must bravely give chase to rescue her. We've just borrowed this from our local library for the second or third time. This fast paced adventure is a joy to read over and over again. #picturebook #reading #childrensbooks #dinosaurbooks

My 3yo is poorly so we've been rereading our favourites. As all the other toys argue about who is the favourite the Snugglewump feels left out and all alone. I just love the name 'Snugglewump' and this book feels like a big hug. #childrensbooks #kidsbooks #iamreading #bookworm #kidlit #picturebooks
