44 cakes baked for Books and Bakes group tomorrow. Well, technically I made 48 but my kids and their friends persuaded me that they needed to taste test some…
Finished this yesterday, it’s the next book to be discussed at @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social book group. I think this is yet another example of a book where the cover wildly misrepresents the content…
Rachel Reeves pledges a library in every primary school in England. Here at CILIP we hope that means trained library staff too #GreatSchoolLibraries www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
"Being read to when you’re very young is such a great boost."
Great to see our Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate@frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social @ #LabourConference2025 talking the importance of shared reading & our #ReadingRights report on @news.sky.com.
Now moving onto this, borrowed from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social and I chose this because of an unbelievably strong and persuasive recommendation from a colleague!
Too impatient to wait for our copy to arrive I borrowed this from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social and intend to read a bit from chapter 9 to #wordsforwellbeing book group today. Hot chocolate and #storydeck cards also on the agenda! #readingschool
One chapter in from this loan from @falkirklibraries.bsky.social and I think this is going to hurt my head in the same way as To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara
Going through my bookshelves at home, deciding which ones to take into work for the staff room book swap. Other School Librarians who spend many hours moving books from home to school and vice versa: I see you!
Borrowed this from my daughter. It’s a choose your own adventure novel, I love the concept! Actually, I love everything about it! I want to have a book group chat about it to see what versions/timelines we all explored…
Really enjoying this book but utterly distracted by the fact @katiekirby.bsky.social threw into her Edinburgh book fest event that sprayed edges are done by hand 🤯
Spending the evening reading this in prep for tomorrows @redbookawards.bsky.social shortlisting meeting (thanks for the loan @falkirklibraries.bsky.social ) and also watching Katie Kirby talk about her Lottie Brooks books on catch-up from her #EdinburghInternationalBookFestival event on Sunday
Thank you @falkirklibraries.bsky.social#Meadowbank for organising our kids to celebrate the #SummerReadingChallenge in the very best possible way! Love the bell ringing part of today’s ceremony!
Thank you @juliansedgwick.bsky.social and Chie Kutsuwada for signing my book at today’s @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social#REDBookAwards. Particularly love your stamps…Chie’s logo and Julian’s symbols that represent waves and life’s journey.
