Returned to work after half term and catching up on press. Nice to read this Stephen Sondheim by Daniel Okrent review – a superb biography of the musical master www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

Lovely to catch up with so many children's publishing people at The Paper Cat yesterday for The Shipwreck Atlas event. Met lots of people IRL and enthused about beautiful books

Enjoyed the Zog show and activities at Warwick Castle. While I may have struggled with the heat at least I didn't have a costume on like many of those performing here today

Trying to decide which books to pack for the holiday. I already have an audiobook so probably don't need 4 books for 5 nights away (especially as most of the time is with at my parents house and they have lots of books)

Great event at @gowerst-books.bsky.social on Tuesday with Radicals author Geoff Andrews talking about his new book and signing copies

Thanks to the tube strike, I am travelling a different way to work and discovered this road on my long walk to the train station. Following in the footsteps of the poets apparently!

Excited to discover an Easter treat in my pigeon hole this morning at @yalebooks.bsky.social

Got a call from nursery this morning, panicked that something had happened to my youngest. Thankfully all ok with him was just a request to look after two chicks overnight. Boys are excited about the visitors
