Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you @lucynoguerawrites.bsky.social for my super copy of #Swop #TheDaringDinosaurDetective!
A fun school visit to the Natural History Museum that swiftly turns to chaos when super-secret, pocket-sized Swop breaks free from Ernie's stolen rucksack - Can they catch him and the thief!?🦖
Swop is in good company!
Very exciting! Putting together a World Book Day reading list. The theme is books out in 2025
Suggestions are welcome for fiction & nonfiction:
- Pic books
- KS1 Chapter Books
- KS2 Chapter Books
that are out anytime in 2025.
Thanks!
Dropping off extra books yesterday to a local school in Ealing after an author visit before half term 🥰📚🐶
He’s snoring so loud!
Stitch is being very helpful this morning, despite his age being well over retirement he’s still overseeing my postcard preparation! 🥰🐶🐾
These are the Swop postcards currently burning a hole in my desk… Teachers/librarians can I send your children one?? #readingforpleasure #readingschools
If any primary schools/classes would like an author notecard & mini book poster to start their new half term let me know! #readingforpleasure #readingschools
@oakgrovepri.bsky.social if you would like a free mini book poster & author note let me know. I saw your school on another (old) social feed & admired your reading for pleasure work!
What a lovely afternoon at my children’s old school talking about dinosaurs and miniature dogs! #Authorvisits are one of the best parts of being an author ✍🏼🐶🦖📖🥰
Here's a thing! Buy any children's book from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social this month, as part of their #ReadItForward campaign, they'll donate 10% to the charities @booktrust.org.uk & @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social.
And apparently if it's one of mine an angel gets a new set of wings.
Chatted with 8 classes in Bath and then 8 classes in Manchester all in one afternoon! Virtual visits when planned & all working well (good wifi, camera working etc) are such a valuable resource for schools, affordable and interactive & still promote reading for pleasure! @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social
Lovely to sign a big box of books after my first Swop The Daring Dinosaur Detective Zoom Event! 📚🦖 @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social
Thank you so much Anne! 💙📚

Not quite sure how I managed to have a nap before my first zoom for Swop 2?! But managed to wake up and really enjoy talking to a school in Oxford!

Totally agree! I do lots of virtual author visits with Yr5/6 with my picture book Herman Needs a Home.
I’m really hoping to do some zoom author visits outside of the UK in January as part of the launch of Swop 2 The Daring Dinosaur Detective 🐾🦖📚
If you are a school/or know one that loves books and would be interested let me know! #internationalschools #authorvisits @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social
It’s true, sadly and I think it’s important that it’s normalised. I think, like you say, if it provokes a sensitive discussion then it’s done its job…
I didn’t realise this was #nationalgriefawarenessweek these are all great books to open conversations. I purposely included a family’s story after a bereavement in Swop, to show how a family member can be remembered/included positively in family life even after they have died.
These lovely cards from the reading ambassadors are cheering up my long journey home on a wet afternoon!
