This morning, sitting with all the things I’d want a brand new author to know rushing through my mind, as I write notes for an event on Sunday. Our job is both strange and wonderful, truly.

So, I’m starting to pull together my lists of creators and bloggers for my 2025 (spring/ summer) books, and I think it might be the time and place to say… who here is interested in YA/ teen, around historical, contemporary, romantasy, fantasy, and a little bit of mystery/ thriller… #booksky

Bookshop.org is bringing back charitable initiative Read It Forward, alongside BookTrust and Scottish Book Trust https://buff.ly/3Z2TRXA (£)

It’s really quite lovely to have a (booky) thought and just to be able to put it here. It feels like a timeline jump, where we hopefully have something good and community like again. Long may it last…

Such a great book - and a perfect Christmas present for the teen (or older!) Swiftie in your life! 💚

This is a thing of beauty - so useful, and inspiring, too!

If you find yourself wondering if a new book will solve all your problems today, the answer is yes

I wasn’t here this time last week, to plug the amazing @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social as we celebrated the inaugural #michaelrosenday - but there is the most charming, funny event with MC Grammar still available - more info and a free downloadable activity pack: www.michaelrosen.co.uk/michaelrosen...

Right, about time for a (re)introduction- I’m Nina, I’ll be here to talk about books I’m reading, books I’m working on, friends’ books; I love anything kidlit, MG, YA, crossover, romance, fantasy, romantasy, historical, fiction in general, folklore and retellings, poetry - and so much more… #booksky

And message me or give me a little wave if you want to be added :)
