Peter Apps is the GOAT when it comes to untangling London’s housing crisis. Show Me The Bodies was as gripping as a thriller and left me in tears. This one is basically showing me the straight line you could draw between landlord greed and schools cutting support staff - including librarians

Happy #NationalPoetryDay. I picked Lochan by Kathleen Jamie for a school assignment in primary school and it's still my favourite to this day

Finally ticked this one off last night - pretty delightful, wasn’t expecting the romance to be quite so much fun. Bit inconsistent around the middle but a very fun premise thoughtfully executed #BookSky #SchoolLibrarian

Obsessed with the stuff the school dining hall comes up with as the end of term approaches. What do you mean today’s dessert is chocolate crispie cake with profiteroles squished on top?

Absolutely baffling move of desperation here from the Rand institute, who are paying to advertise free copies of Atlas Shrugged as it its the Gideon bible #BookSky

This reminds me of when some publishers re-covered classics following the twilight boom. Wuthering Heights rebranded as "Bella and Edward's favourite books." #Booksky
