I finished this last night. Beautiful! Very moving, funny and with characters who get to your heart. If this doesn't AT LEAST make the @carnegiemedals.bsky.social nominations list I'm going to have a very large strop. #kidlituk #booksky

"Read now" say @booktrust.org.uk. Please do. I have a rather large and imperious cat to feed.

Ramsay would be its ruler. No question.

A proof of @lucasjmaxwell.bsky.social's YA debut (out 09/04/26) and it's VERY good.

I found out that Fallout's first print run for @booktrust has done well so they've commissioned another. Tidy, mun.

#DyslexiaAwarenessWeek is underway in Scotland (the rest of the UK is next week) and I'm so proud to have a book with @barringtonstoke.bsky.social so I can be a part of it all.

Many sunny spots in the house, but the rough door mat next to my old Crocs is the best. Apparently.

Ramsay continues to bring all the joy. This week, cosplaying as a wet hedgehog.

Our Ramsay also.

This is SO good, @alomshaha.bsky.social and you are so kind to send it to me (and write nice things). I've started with the star chapter. 😊💫
