Happy Valentine’s Day, from us to you. Tag your exes. Xoxox

Absolutely bloody wonderful.

Watched No Other Choice last night and it's glorious! Park Chan Wook is a fave director of mine and their new film is dark, grotesque and full of irony. Absolutely loved it 🫰

"One of the central themes of the campaign is to make books and reading visible, so they show up regularly in our lives." Well said. Going to be taking a book on the tram on my way to and from work now.

Woah let's hope so

Kicking off the Xmas hols with this banger #libsky #edusky #librarian #toxicmasculinity

The whole librarian community today here on bluesky

Buy people books for Christmas. Fin.

Been revisiting my old teen music faves lately. A LOT of emo stuff in there 🎸🫣

I don't usually watch Saturday morning TV, but got hooked on a nigella segment. Next thing I know James Acaster has just had a hilarious angry vent, punching stuff and all sorts! I cannot stop laughing!

So our ritual Saturday night film selection has already been agreed. My choice is...The Birdcage! Watched this SO much as a teen and hoping it's as good a film as I remember it being!

Most of the time, I really love that we have trams in my city and I enjoy using them. Apart from on a Friday night. Last Friday's will def haunt me for a long time.

Oh my life! This isn't going to actually help. We know kids need to develop their literacy and reading skills in school. How about actually doing something useful...as in, handing schools some £ for library books and an experienced librarian?

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

Starting watching The Walking Dead for the first time ever. On my own. Feeling pretty badass rn.

Just popping on here to say that this site does some AMAZING enamel pins that are #lgbtqia+ positive! Wherever you work, make everyone feel seen, safe and valued! gayprideshop.co.uk/collections/...

If anyone loves watching crime noir, e.g. the bridge, baptiste, etc...check out Dept. Q on netflix. Bloody brilliant! And series 2 out soon!

For a book that was originally published in 1976, this story hits hard today. This is a dense, impactful read about women, mental health and society (utopia). Blew my absolute socks off! And am gutted I left it so long to read it. #booksky #skybrarians #libsky #teachsky #englishliterature #dystopia

Three animated comedy series I regularly go back to are; Bob's Burgers, Archer and Futurama. If you haven't seen them, you're really missing out.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Do you even work in education if you don't have a zillion pins attached to your lanyard? Slowly being added to until the weight of it becomes unbearable and you have to have a pin amnesty/rearrangement? #libsky #edusky #teachsky #skybrarians #education

Just finished watching All Of Us Are Dead on netflix! A fab teen zombie series set in Korea! Cannot WAIT for series two to air 😆!

Today's Saturday night movie was Cloud. A Japanese 2025 film about the world of e-commerce; story of a greedy online reseller who gets in over his head. Not bad. About half an hour too long though imo.

Know this is a few yrs old now, but this was ruddy brilliant! Dark, funny and thrilling! #teachsky #edusky #booksky #readingforpleasure #librarian

As Bookbanks new Ambassador I’d like to spread the word about this brilliant charity giving books with food at food banks. Please share and support if you’re able :) www.bookbanks.co.uk

Having fun in Barcelona! A well earned trip away for a few days 🫶

Got a summer sale on for my TES resources shop rn! Closes the end of tomorrow so if you're a #teacher #headteacher #librarian #teachingassistant #principle get yourself a bargain now! www.tes.com/teaching-res... #booksky #readingforpleasure #literacy #books

Corrr this #yabook is gorgeously written. Dark and haunting. Delicious. #libsky #edusky #teachsky #readingforpleasure #teenreads #booksky

Just watched The Phoenician Scheme. Love a Wes Anderson film!

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Led on some team training for a few hours today. I am now utterly exhausted! Fun but it's floored me!

“When you walk into the library, you should be able to find at least one thing that pertains to you,” This librarian was fired when she was just doing a hell of a good job. Kids get to be inquisitive about the world, including about who they are. Trans kids exist.

Come ON. Just RAIN so I can move and dance and cook without feeling like I'm wading through porridge.

Getting my hair cut, mostly for the included head massage 😴

LOVED this so much. A brilliant concept, expertly played out by Shusterman. A top book rec for #YA readers! #edusky #teachsky #libsky #skybrarians #readingforpleasure #summerreads #scifi #pandemic

Libraries are all about inclusivity and should provide diverse reading materials, in many different formats, in order to fully meet user needs. Audiobooks are incredibly accessible and powerful reading mediums. They deserve a seat at the table.

I'm at the age when I now cannot drink a coffee at 4pm. What was I thinking yesterday? 🥱

Having a nice little run of TES sales today, so here's a v.quick reminder that if you work in #schools and are interested in #readingforpleasure then please check out my digital resources! www.tes.com/teaching-res...

So I completely get that some people boycotted #Eurovision cuz they banned pride flags. It's bullshit. I still watched it, in part because it's an iconicly queer and inclusive competition that platforms representatives/allies of the #lgbtqia+ community.

My top three are def Austria, Denmark and Malta #eurovision

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

And let me say this, FUCK YOU AUDIBLE! If you haven’t made the switch already now is the time to get to discover Libro.fm because not only you can get 2 extra credits but you’ll also support an indie store of your choice. + many amazing sales #booksky #audiobooksky

Has anyone read Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo?

UK librarians, take note. With the current shift to people now actively voting for a right wing party, we need to be prepared for this kind of thing. This act of book burning was down to wanting to 'cleanse' = erasing histories and silencing minories. Bigotry has no place in libraries, or anywhere.

OF COURSE I had to buy a tacky crab plant pot for my garden. Can't help thinking that he looks slightly shocked that I bought him.
