The 113th Assistant Librarian now has a friend! Lost in a Book continues Oliver and Agatha's adventures as they are confronted with a very special edition of a book that may spell doom for both Hallarum and the Shrouded Alps. More literary peril! More London! And a giant spider crab! (Shudder!)

The launch for Lost in a Book is, appropriately, happening on Love Your Bookshop Day! 2pm at Readings Kids in Carlton on 11 October, hosted by the amazing Karys McEwen! Link in bio for tickets 📖🐱✨

The stunning artwork is by Federica Frenna and the design is by unparalleled Kristy Lund-White and I can't wait to have it in my hands!

Me when I see that my neighbours in the apartment next door have motion flow on their TV 😳

Ordering a new dishwasher and came across this ever-so-helpful recommendation. Good to see that Alan is doing his share of the housework by * checks notes * writing the whitegood reviews...
