Words can Fly is such a comforting read - @Donna_ashworth’s debut poetry collection has such gentle illustrations & I can’t think of a child who wouldn’t find these poems relatable. It’s brimming with compassion & connection. Out 5/6 for 7+. Thanks @templarbooks @amberivatt 📖

I don’t suppose anybody would like to buy a book tonight.
I’m stressing about big bills week, it’s not getting any easier and lately I’ve been wondering how long we can keep doing this. I know I’m not alone in this, lots of small businesses are facing difficult times.

Long story cut short... you’d be barking mad to miss #JamesDavies’ #LongDog a laugh-out-loud tale of a boy and his very loooong dog! @CourtInABook @templarbooks

Wish You Were Her!
Neurodivergent YA, coming this summer.
It's about a celebrity who gets a summer job as a bookseller in a small town book festival and falls in love with a grumpy colleague.
Preorders are open!!

And so, she’s here. The last book in the Vivi Conway trilogy, Vivi Conway and the Lost Hero, will be out on the 8th of May this year. You can preorder it at the link in my bio. And would you look at this incredible cover by Harry Woodgate?!
ALT An announcement for Vivi Conway and the Lost Hero by Lizzie Huxley-Jones, coming May 2025. The cover is green and gold, and shows Vivi front and centre wielding Excalibur in her signature yellow coat and blue dungarees, but this time she’s in a weird greenish castle. The other characters are around her — Merry in her wheelchair threatening to throw a hammer, Steve about to strike with a baseball bat, Dara conjuring sparks, Gelert facing off a spider-like coraniaid, Chia pointing at the looming King Arawn dressed in green and gold, and Isabella in the corner. At the edges of the book peek out other coraniaids.

Our #BookOfTheDay is a dynamic graphic novel which covers themes of identity and representation really skilfully.
