Interesting that it’s the sports stars like Chris Hoy who understand the concept of fairness. They realise that readers (and the actual authors) are being cheated if a celebrity pretends to have written a book penned by somebody else.

My go to these days is Ajay and the Mumbai Sun by Varsha Shah. Exquisite writing, rip roaring MG adventure, beautifully drawn characters and a unique setting. Best of all, books 2 and 3 just get better and better.

Saying that I'm against the killing of thousands of civilians in Gaza, the majority women & children, doesn't make me 'pro-Palestinian' and it doesn't make me 'antisemitic'. It makes me a humanitarian against the actions of the Israeli Government and army. STOP THE KILLING.

💯 agree, and for secondary schools too - even 15 minutes a day would make a huge impact.

So, for any new followers... Just over five years ago, we were a bookshop about to close down. We reopened on November 2nd 2019, after we took the keys with no real idea on what to do, other than a passion for children's and YA books ❤️ And here we are!

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers. Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.
