So excited to be talking all things Children's/YA verse with @grainneobrien.bsky.social this Sunday 13th April as part of the wonderful @cuirtfestival.bsky.social in my own city of Galway. All welcome!❤️📚

I'm thrilled that Jodie is included in #SparkReading this year. This fantastic programme from @BookTrust is designed to spark a love of reading in KS3 students, building reading enjoyment through sociable shared reading experiences. Find out more: booktrust.org.uk/spark-reading

Delighted to be supporting the wonderful Read It Forward project again this year! uk.bookshop.org/contributors...

Starting a new writing project and having to remind myself it's okay not to see all the way to the end. That's the fun of writing!📚💙

Seems fitting to be diving into this beauty on night five of a power outage and reading by candle light . . .

We'll always have pride.

I am totally blown away! Got my PLR statement from UK libraries today and my books were borrowed thousands of times this year🤯 Thank you librarians for getting them into the hands of young readers. Libraries are magical places and provided a multitude of services for so many👏 (Ballinrobe library)

Love this😍

Had a grand old chat with Alex Dunne in this months Inis Magazine, a very talented author and a fantastic interviewer too it turns out😍 Thanks also to CBI for organising!

Still get ridiculously excited to see my book in real bookshops!!! Thanks to my neighbour of 14 years ago, Coral for spotting and buying in Cirencester! Cake and coffee look yummy too😍🌳💗

Thanks for including 'The Tree That Sang To Me' in this wonderful list, Linda💗

Hello. I am open. Come hither and buy all the books, please, and also thank you 🙏

Wonderful to see FIVE pages of coverage given to Children's books in the Sunday Times Ireland's Culture magazine by Children's Books Ireland! Delighted with this review of my book from @meabhmcdonnell.bsky.social

Great service . . . 💗 indie bookshops, where all the book magic happens😍

A lovely selection!

I have an #ImportantFridayQuestion Which indie bookshop are you shopping at today?

This sounds like great fun!!!

Thank you so much to @serenamolloy.bsky.social for sending through these gorgeous signed books from the Children in Read auction. Can’t wait to read them.

What a fantastic poem from Katelynn, a budding young poet published in @NewsMagMedia 💫 I was luck enough earlier this year to take up the role of Champion of Reading for @KidsBooksIrel @StLassara primary school working with all the pupils & amazing teacher Sally Donnelly 📚😍💫

Festivities are GO in Cork this week for One County, One Book 🤩📚 Have had a wonderful few weeks meeting readers and talking all things books and writing. It's a huge privilege to be this year's chosen author 💛

We can't believe that the wonderful @rurooie.bsky.social has been with us two years! Happy anniversary Ruth 😍 True to form her new piece is about verse novels—here she chooses six for ages 9-12 ❤️ booksirelandmagazine.com/verse-novels...

Helen is a wonderful champion of children's books💗

Come and let me dedicate & doodle a book for you!

Highlight of last week was chatting with the lovely children in the Readable Project book club with Dyslexia Ireland. A very special experience to chat to them and hear them read so beautifully extracts from my book💗 Wonderful🐬 (I would never have been that brave)

Thanks for sharing @smerchant13.bsky.social I'm thrilled your students are enjoying it. If they have any questions when they are finished, or even want a little zoom chat let me know😍

From your friendly librarian: please, please don’t make books, reading, or visits to the library a punishment OR a reward. It’s not as effective as you think it is, and it damages the relationship your child can build with us. Literacy is a birthright.

First post back here is: 📢 COVER REVEAL 📢 Designed by the incredible Euan Cook, I love Crookhaven: The Impossible Fortress cover so much because it uses all the colours of the moors. And features our favourite chaotic twins (which they'll approve of). Out Jan 30th! Preorder: geni.us/Crookhaven-4

Irish children's writer, living on the Wild Atlantic Way. MG books. Love spreading the joy of books and reading for pleasure, especially there for the struggling readers😍

Hey @mubashariqbal.com please add: go.bsky.app/QuaYUEw

I have a great Q&A over on TeenLibrarian, with Kate Weston asking Natasha Devon the questions about her new #UKYA Babushka and thoughts on the beauty industry and misogyny: teenlibrarian.co.uk/2023/11/23/b... #KidLitUK

Was delighted to sit down with Dyslexia Ireland recently to discuss the challenges dyslexia brought to my life and my wish that all dyslexic children get the help they need to flourish🌼 🌼🌼 dyslexia.ie/serena-mollo...

Looks fab Ian😍

Our exhibition has a playlist! Which I thoroughly enjoyed making. Look Back to Look Forward: 50 Years of the Irish in Britain open.spotify.com/playlist/2YQ...

🐶I’m at the Tate Britain this Saturday doing an author workshop which will involve a reading of Millie’s Big Decision and lots of fun, creative activities!🦮 🐾Info here: www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tat... #kidlituk #ukkidlit

I am unable to go to Manchester this weekend for #scbwi so have a full pass to give away free. I had signed up for the Ed Vere workshop as well as a writing one. Follow and reply if you would like it. I'll pick randomly this evening. Please share with #kidlituk peeps.

Great piece from a great writer!

Today seems like the prime day for us to introduce ourselves here!👋 A bit about us: -Independent bookshop & art gallery in Galway, Ireland -Online at Kennys.ie -Free delivery in Ireland -International shipping from €2 per book -Thousands of books cheaper than Amazon -Thousands of books not on Amazon

My top tip is, when you find someone you know, go through who they're following - it's been the best way to find ppl so far for me. I've tried feeds a bit but I find it a bit confusing. Oh but also post in an intro thread, will find it for you!

Delighted to get a code to venture into this blue Sky! Still finding my way. Here for the 📚 💗😉

Great tip!

Thrilled to see this beautiful thing out in the world. Jackie has spent her life pressing other writer's books into people's hands. Finally we can return the favour ♥️♥️♥️♥️ congratulations @jackielynam.bsky.social
