Finished reading Running my Own Race by @eyesab2.bsky.social with my Y5/6 class last week. They absolutely loved it, and it gave us lots of chances to talk about issues relevant to their own lives. Highly recommended.

It has been an absolute pleasure (with a hint of sadness) to read the finale of this incredible series. I have loved every single page, chapter, and book.

#sundaymorningbookchat comes all the way from Mauritius this morning. Had a wonderful safari in SA and was completely inspired by the animals. Let’s celebrate animal books! What is the appeal of a great animal book or authors who write them? Here are some of my favourites @whatsfsaid.bsky.social

We're preparing for a mini private view to say 'thank you' in person to all those who have been involved in our 'Outside the Asylum' project. On Wednesday this week the webpages and display will go live! In the meantime? A sneaky peek of some of the objects: asylum keys, knife and patient gown.

Huge fan of #RossMackenzie delighted to find a copy “The Uninvited” in @bookcornershop.bsky.social

It’s cracking magical read, starting with a refugee crisis from a magical world into ours, it takes an a thrilling adventure where you can’t be sure who is good or bad, to get the Faerae home.
