I'm a primary school teacher, book blogger and avid reader of children's books. Would love to connect with people who want to chat about children's books and education.
Soaked twice in the space of 2 hours.

The second time wasn’t even bad planning- the car park flooded so my second pair of trainers are soaked too.

But - I did buy myself this earlier.

Tea, cake, slippers and locking myself into the house I think.

A huge thank you to @chris-callaghan.com for my wonderful book post!

I can’t wait to read and share the book.

Also can’t wait to devour the chocolate, (I don’t think I’ll be sharing that 😋) goodbye 3pm slump! 😀

Next book lined up!

I have about 100 pages left of another book which I’m loving.

But I also can’t wait to read this one. 📚

What’s next on your list to read?

📚This book is simply marvellous! 📚

It's hugely original and will transport you through time to Ancient Egypt. 📚

Lots of children will LOVE this book, as I did.

📚I always love popping into book shops in different countries to see what I can find. 🌍

I popped into a few in Iceland and this is the most interesting children’s book I found!

📚Recommended read! 📚

For a great adventure all about time, filled with London landmarks, mystery, high stakes and fantastic characters.

The Clockwork Conspiracy by Sam Sedgman is well worth a read. ⤵️

A sequel is also being released soon!

🤓Friday night plans! 😎

Can’t wait to dive into this book, which has been on my tbr for ages.

Maybe there’s a silver lining to it being January after all!

Over Christmas, I finally ticked this one off my list. ✅

It was worth the wait. Even if I am late to it!

📚There are so many good children's books but not enough time to read them. 📚

What have you ticked off your list recently?
