If anyone is interested, I started a blog. Mostly because when I went to write an article for The School Librarian I found I had a lot more to say than the 1125 word count would allow! #SchoolLibrarian #Librarian

Introduction to The AuDHD Librarian
As the name suggests, I am autistic and ADHD, and I am a librarian*. Recently, I was asked to write an article for The School Librarian, the journal from the School Library Association, and through…

The fact the writer would have got paid for something that they didn't write is just maddening.

I will graduate this year from a part time degree I started back in Jan '18. There's been many points on this degree where I've wanted to give up/change course etc. and the majority of that was before #ADHD meds that I started in Jan '24.

We have this as a class reading set in my school and the Y7s and Y8s (11-13 yr olds) love it! Highly recommend this book! #KidLit #KidLitUK #BookSky
Have you seen my Time Travel Diaries book? It's fun and funny! Packed with London history, real archaeology & crazy obstacles to make it appeal to kids. Plus you can visit the actual site of the time portal: the London Mithraeum! #LondonMithraeumBloombergSPACE!

Today is a good day to divest from Amazon and instead support small businesses.*

By using Libro.fm instead of Audible, your audiobook purchases support independent bookshops 😍

*Every day is a good day to support small businesses!

Sent out an email to an author to see if they can visit my school during the next #WorldBookDay week (March 2026!) because I'm super excited to plan the next #LiteraryFestival!! This time I'll be writing the script for the play myself! #KidLit #SchoolLibrarian

I switched to @thestorygraph.com this year and I've only just learnt I can share these directly to here 🤣

As a bookseller I totally agree! www.thebookseller.com/comment/pull...
Pulling back from the edge
Publishing has a blind spot when it comes to what kids really want.

I'm not the first to give this advice, but it bears repeating for the benefit of any parents/guardians planning to make or buy a costume for tomorrow.
If the #WorldBookDay costume you’re planning 
to make or buy for your child costs more than the
 price of a book, 
buy them a BOOK instead.

Trying to finish The Boy I Love by @whusseyauthor.bsky.social on my commute home today has been a bad choice! Had to stop reading so I didn't become that crying person in the bus station... The student that's borrowing this next is going to be a mess and he's looking forward to it 🤣 #BookSky #KidLit

In completely random but happy news, the cat I've been fostering since rescuing her 3 weeks ago had her kittens last night! She's being a beautiful mama and has 2 very healthy baby kittens 💛 #Cats

Got to the end of The Deadsoul Project yesterday and was thinking "I can't wait for the next one" and was about to Google it but then turned the page 🤩
Pre-ordered it and excited for September 👽

Not exactly accurate but hilarious nonetheless 😹

Just got home to find this in the post! So excited to read this over my half-term and then donating it to my school library because I know so many of my kids would love it! #BookSky #KidLit @dansmithauthor.bsky.social

Libro.fm is the perfect alternative to Audible, and it's supports your local community if you set it to your nearest #IndieBookshop! #BookSky use my ref code for a free credit when you switch (I also get a free one!) ⬇️

Make the switch to Libro.fm from Audible ❤️ We might not have a space ship or fancy ads with celebrities critiquing listening speeds, but we do support independent bookshops (and in our opinion, that's way better).

My long needed half-term break begins now. When I get back, there's a week before the #LiteraryFestival I started at my school! The wonderful @amymccawauthor.bsky.social will be visiting on the Friday! Everyone is so excited for it this year (a happy change from last year's shock) #BookSky #KidLit
