Loved #Inkbound by @prleathley.bsky.social
Philippa Leathley. Can't recommend enough. Granddaughter pored over the map & cover even tho' she's just 3. I explained she'd be able to read it herself when she's older. 'I bigger now. I seven,' she declared, settling down with the book. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Been a bit blue recently - the limitations of living with chronic illnesses sometimes does that to me. And then I'm seeing my granddaughter, a pterodactyl flying on Granddad's shoulders. And there it is, life in its fullness

Gentle reminder to anyone who needs it: autism isn’t a reason (or even an excuse) for being a predator. If you’re a sex pest, that’s on you.

Another non-fiction recommendation for today's Wonderland Christmas Countdown. It's day 9 and Mr Bookseller has picked out Insectarium by Emily Carter and Dave Goulson. This hardback book with beautiful illustrations is the perfect keepsake gift for the bug lovers. We recommend for ages 8+

Really proud to say that the Estonian translation of A Kind of Spark has been nominated for the annual Tower of Babel Honour Diploma. It's the most significant translation prize for children's fiction in Estonia and it also awards (quite rightly) the publisher and translator. Very proud of all of us

#Autumn has finally arrived, dropping the temperature to reassuringly familiar levels. No snow here yet, but #Winter is nipping hard at autumn's heels.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
