Thanks Kirsten - so good to see you on Friday!

Just a regular day then 😆

100% this 🙌

That’s very upsetting 🫣

It’s October 1st so I am contractually obliged (and delighted) to say I have a Halloween book out and you should buy it 🎃

A gorgeous review for our little squirrels ✨ I can’t wait to share this story about finding light in the darkness with lots more small people over the coming weeks and months 🤗

Thank you so much for this lovely review Jill 😊

My Halloween topper is ready to go. I had to get it done early because I’m so busy in October with Big Monster Bake events! I’ve got lots of school, bookshop and library events so hope to see some of you at one of them 🎃

I’m very lucky because someone gifted me this… I think it’s from the 1960s (like me 😆). Everything worked the first time I turned it on! What household appliance are you still using from the 1960s or before?

I Definitely Don’t Like The Dark by me and Christine Pym is out today 🩵🧡
It’s a shiny story full of hope about finding light in the darkness, something we could all do with RN
So I humbly present it to you and hope you like it (please buy it/review it/tell your friends about it 🥹)

I done some #crochet again. Glorious pattern for these little trick or treat mouse fits by @lauralovescrochet.bsky.social 🎃

Well now I’m an emotional heap after receiving this gorgeous surprise in the post from the amazing team at scholastic to celebrate the release of I Definitely Don’t Like The Dark next week 🥹

The first review is in and it’s a good one! OK, it’s my husband 😄 but I’ll take it 😊 If anyone else has read The BIG Monster Bake and fancies leaving a review, I’d be very grateful 🙏

Best friends Hank and Hoog are back with a new adventure out next week! Of course, I had to immortalise them in yarn 😁

This is the joy of #crochet! Need a Halloween hairband for upcoming book events? No problem 🎃

Awesome 🙌

The Thursday Murder Club was fun but THESE are the books I really want to see on screen! Great heroine, tight plots, fresh setting! I love this series by @katepoels.bsky.social and can totally imagine them on the big or small screen!

A black poster with pictures of books on it. In the centre is a circle with horns on that says Loki A Bad God's Guide inside it. The title reads: Like Loki? Read these! The books recommended are Donut Squad (tagged with the following Loki-overlap qualities: Funny + subersive + junk food), Boss of the Underworld (Comedy + other realms + weird main character), Who let the gods out (Funny + gods behaving badly + anarchy), The Cheat Book (Funny + Illustrated + bad behaviour), The Boy to Beat the Gods (Adventure + gods + tricksters) and Skulduggery Pleasant (Supernatural + comedy + snark).

A lot of people have asked for recs of things to read after Loki, and after much whittling and pondering I have a wee poster for you. Things that Loki readers might like with the aspects of Loki that those books capture! #UKKidlit @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

It’s our book birthday today 🎃
It feels early to get excited about Halloween but I’m already in the zone planning some spooktacular events together take all over the country in October 😊

Really proud of our homage to halloween treats! Come on down to Monster Street this howling Halloween! Out on Thurs from wherever you buy your books by me and Eve O’Brien. It’s worth it for the spiced hot chocolate recipe alone 😋

Wow!
