Jacqui Sydney 📚 @jacquisydney.bsky.social · Jan 2
My bookish New Year’s Resolution for 2025 is to read or reread at least one book that I already owned on January 1st each month this year. I’m kicking off with this one from one of my favourite authors which has been waiting patiently on the shelf forever.
Copy of Mo, Lottie and the Junkers by Jennifer Killick, held in front of a Christmas tree. The book’s cover shows a white boy with ginger hair opening a box, with a girl with light brown skin and plaited brown hair just behind him. On the left is a cross-looking man leaning out of the serving window of an ice cream van and on the right, a frowning woman leaning out of a first floor house window.

Just one of those things - I’m lucky that most of the ones I’m invited to are in London, which isn’t convenient for everyone else. Glad you had a lovely time x

Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo
Screenshot of IngramSpark impersonator's contact form, with chat window where scammer sales rep "Travis Clark" claims that "We are Ingram Spark's hands-on services department. You will be able to find our information here: https://www.ingramsparkbookpublishers.com/

The 2 books. Ice Dancer’s blue cover shows a graceful silhouetted female figure with a skirt of silver snowflakes which extend onto the background. Murder at Christmas’s cover shows a girl and boy on bikes cycling through falling snow in front of a large hotel.

In my local area, faith groups have supported each other after last week's attack in Manchester. This is how we stay strong. Fellow @littlerebsprize.bsky.social winner AM Dassu's 'Fight Back' shows this in action. DM me if you know a school/youth group who could use a copy, I'd love to buy them one.
