This random photo of a sausage competition (??) is like a Caravaggio.

There was only one winner for me and that was Jaz. (Apart from Harry who was the winner and not Jaz who didn’t win)

That was quite possibly the best reality TV series of all time. Pure drama. #TheTraitors

As far as upcoming #BookGroups are concerned here at the shop we appear to be entering our blue period... #FictionBookGroup #CrimeBookGroup #YABookGroup #ChildrensBookGroup Nicola Upson 🏳️‍🌈 Matt Goodfellow Emily Barr #readingforpleasure #lovereading #amreading

It never snows in Truro - today's dusting was lovely 💙

Episode 1 task: assemble this fun puzzle!
Episode 7 task: get in the fuckin coffin #TheTraitors

Insomnia! Argh. Got up stupidly early and wrote 3.5k words. I'll find out later whether they make any sense. How can I make my brain stop racing and sleep? 🥺

Did I reactivate my account here just to see Traitors content? 🤔 (yes)

📣 Less than a month to go before the winner of the Bristol Teen Book Award is announced 📣

We’re counting down the days by celebrating the sensational shortlisted books and authors

We’re thrilled that Emily Barr will be joining us at the awards ceremony in February 🙌

Had an amazing time yesterday listening to the wonderful Emily Barr talking about writing & her brilliant book, Ghosted, as part of the #CLS9for9 reading challenge. Thank you CLS for organising this for us 😃👍 We also made some book Xmas trees, while listening 😉

Thank you to Emily Barr for a fascinating virtual author talk today for our #CLS9for9 schools. It was great to hear how you became an author and about the writing and editing process. You inspired us all today! If you haven't read Ghosted yet, bump it to the top of your TBR asap

❄️🧣Bundle up as Imelda Staunton takes us on a journey through 'In the Cold Night' - a poignant tale of a young boy who loses his home in an earthquake.

‘In The Cold Night’ is based on the real-life stories of the families that ShelterBox have supported. Please share this video…
