Have been in a slight reading slump of late and this just blew me right out of it! Absolutely brilliant YA folk horror by @darrensimpson44.bsky.social. A creepy, dark tale about folklore, nature and what people will do to survive. A must-read!

Library lesson with Yr7 on immigration to support curriculum text (Refugee Boy). We introduced them to Front Desk by @kellyyang.bsky.social and it was the most sublime lesson! Read Ch1 to them, discussed it and they loved it so much! Reservations out the door 🥰 So nice when lessons really land!

Just finished this pleasant little page-turner. Bridgerton with wands. A nice romantasy for the YA market! 📚👍

Absolutely brilliant conclusion to this trilogy. Adeyemi really expands the world and has created some great new villains. This series is such a fresh take on YA fantasy!

Really liked this one - queer romance about two girls from the Bangladeshi community in Dublin. Well worth getting into your YA library

Really enjoyed visiting the Flowers exhibition at the Saachi Gallery today! Some stunning work - and even the kids thought it was cool, which is rare 😂
