This book! I was reading The Best of Worlds By Kenneth Oppel WAY past bedtime last night, I only stopped reading it because the battery on my Kindle ran out. It’s a confidently crafted, perfectly plotted YA sci-fi thriller & it’s blowing my mind 🤯. Thanks to Guppy Books & #Netgalley for the proof.

Just started reading The Last Dragon on Mars by Scott Reintgen and I’m instantly hooked. It’s fast paced, has rich world building, interesting characters that I already care about after only four short chapters and above all it’s very cool!🐉@rocktheboatnews.bsky.social

Carson Ellis illustrated the poem for this beautiful picture book edition a few years ago. It’s wonderful 💕

Made my first gluten free baguettes today and they were SO much better than anything you can buy. Dense, chewy texture and proper crust. Worth getting the special tray for. Thank you @beckyexcell.bsky.social 💫🥖💕

From the bizarre pages of Superman Vs Meshi 2 by Satoshi Miyagawa & Kai Kitago

Nope! Had too many flashbacks to the Surrey storm of 1987 to sleep in my loft room so I ended up on the sofa. Did you get to work ok?

Probably not in general, although thanks to a recent school visit by the fab Emma Carroll touring the PB edition of The Little Match Girl Strikes Back the kids at school now understand more than they did

Beautiful morning in Bristol ahead of the next storm

What a stunner of a book! The Faerie Isle by Síne Quinn & Dermot Flynn published by Walker Books. It manages to be eerie & disturbing as well as beautiful- exactly what faerie tales should be! #kidlit #kidlituk

The first thing to spring to mind was Oi Frog! and sequels

The kids & I built dens in the Library for the Read-In at the end of our Book Week. Wish they were a permanent fixture because the way everyone instantly curled up in them to read was magical 💕

Great episode. This was the cover of the edition I remember selling to other kids in my middle school bookshop in 1985 when I was 10. It had a cult status.
