I need a new laptop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I haven't bought a laptop in six years.
Many thanks.

Delivered some bookish cupcakes to @waterstonesashford today and was given a lovely tour of the new bookshop. I'll post a video of the shop over the weekend once the locals have had a chance to visit. Well done to Alfie and the Ashford team. You've done an amazing job. The shop looks beautiful! 📚✨️

I agree. A lot of parents tell their kids what to read. This never works. As a bookseller and a mother of three, I suggest showing kids every type of book and then allowing them to CHOOSE. Works like a charm. 😊

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books

I've been at Canterbury Waterstones for a year (five years as a bookseller and three years running events) and what a year it has been! Transferring to a bigger bookshop was a little bit scary but it was the best decision. Thank you to all the authors who came to visit. You are awesome! 🎉

Got a burning question about publishing? Ask Louie.
I used to do this in the early days of twitter so, before this place becomes feral...got any questions about children's publishing/writing? I won't have all the answers but I worked in publishing for 15 years before going full time as an author, here for all your demystification needs. #Kidlituk

Another fab list from Marianne. Thank you for helping so many lovely people connect with each other.
I’ve made a second UK Kids Book Chat starter back with the new arrivals and those I couldn’t fit on the first list. There’s still room on this list so do let me know if I’ve missed anyone or if you want to be added. And apologies to anyone I’ve added to both by mistake!

For the Canterbury Waterstones advent calendar, I chose two books that I adored and that I know customers won't have heard of. The gorgeously gothic Welcome to Dead Town Raven Mckay 👻 by @eibhliscarcione.bsky.social and the wonderfully weird Walking Practise 👽 by @dolkimin

Congratulations to #katherinerundell on Impossible Creatures being Book of the Year! 🎉 Here is my review and a lovely display created by James and Judith at Waterstones Canterbury. It's so pretty, and my review is in a frame on it! 😍

Day out at the Tenterden Christmas Market. It was lovely to see my nan (even if I did almost tip her out of her wheelchair, which made her laugh) and my aunt, uncle, and cousins. The Christmas season has officially begun! 🎄🎁🎅

I've completed the first week in my new bookshop, and what a lovely week it has been. Lots of hugs and laughs with those who already know me. I've been selling loads of children's books by author friends. Can't wait to get into the events with Rachel next year. Good times. 🥰
