*marks a book as ‘finished’ on my goodreads* ooh an email! (it’s from goodreads saying i finished a book)

I was on holiday for a week not reading the news & now I’m all caught up & I don’t like it

The ROI on the guest of honour programme has been proven so why did MCH deny funding for NZ to be guest of honour programme at the biggest children’s book fair in the world? How can they value literacy if they don’t value the industry that makes children’s books! www.thesapling.co.nz

A THREAD on how disaster donations can be extremely harmful instead of helpful to communities experiencing a disaster. I'll be using the movie Clueless to illustrate this issue but there is also decades of disaster research about this and plenty of first-hand accounts. #GreySky

I party like a rock star, specifically the part where Axl Rose says "oh, won't you please take me home"

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections.
