It's #BookshopDay! We are celebrating with a beautiful autumn window and board by @anna_millais, and these wonderful bags designed by @JackieMorrisArt - come and buy one while stocks last. Then curl up with a book, and dream like a sleeping fox..
As it's #BookshopDay, it seems like the perfect time to share my map of independent children's bookshops. Please use your local one whenever you can. They'll all deliver and the customer service is fantastic. Books recommended by people, not algorithms. …ildrenreadingforpleasure.blogspot.com/2020/07/indepe…
Connecting with a story in a hard moment - like being in hospital - has the power to spark a lasting love of reading. Being able to choose their own book from the Read for Good bookcase can give a child in hospital a small sense of control when so much is out of their hands.
It's @MichaelRosenYes's birthday today... and what better way to celebrate than with some of his super books? We're giving you the chance to win this fabulous bundle of five funny books here: booktrust.org.uk/books-and-read…
Terrific poem Josh, and sentiment.

For children in hospital, books and stories are particularly important – they comfort, distract and reassure. Read for Good provides a regular supply of brand new books to brighten up the days of children in all of the UK’s main children’s hospitals. readforgood.org/our-hospital-p…
@LitraQuest @emma_darwin @jamesdev15 @savehalfmoonpub @MoonPavilion Happy Birthday, Muriel Spark. A few favourites…
It’s the darkest day today. From tomorrow it’ll start to get brighter ❄️ #wintersolstice
The aim of the hospital programme is to increase access to and ownership of brand new, engaging books; enhancing the enjoyment of reading and connecting children to their families and carers, as well as to the world outside of the hospital’s four walls.
@LitraQuest @mikegarry @debraperrin63 @ah_proctor @SLICCEO @LoveDunfermline @dawnafinch @gutterbookshop @libsconnected @JennySarahJones And in 1922 gave £20,000 to impoverished London borough of Bethnal Green for provision of a new public library, which turned an old asylum into brand new library, which utterly transformed lives in East London!
JM Barrie Awards! Streaming today, Thursday 11 November, at 5.15pm. "We will be honouring Michael Rosen for a lifetime's achievement in children's arts, n recognition of his tremendous work championing the arts for children as well as his achievements as a performer and author"
Have added a few more independent children's bookshops to the map this week. They can all deliver, their prices are competitive and they're unlikely to spend any profits they make on self-indulgent space travel. Please share. #childrensbookshops …ildrenreadingforpleasure.blogspot.com/2020/07/indepe…
I read The Left Hand of Darkness in a course on Women's writing when studying for my BA at @BrynMawrCollege - and it was SUCH a revelation. Truly a great, provocative writer and as you said she celebrates and challenges our notions of risk-taking, freedom and more!
#AmReading Gone but not forgotten Ursula Kroeber Le Guin Her books challenge our ideas of what’s natural and inevitable in human relations - and celebrate courage, endurance, risk-taking, and, above all, freedom. Litrasaurus.com #Read #Write #Share #LITRASAURUS

Sometimes I follow an account and I amazed at how good their posts are and how few people seem to know them … this is one of those accounts! It is really excellent!
#BoTD Mrs Elizabeth Gaskell "Her books explore timeless themes of human dignity, suffering and hope. Her pioneering independent spirit and tireless energy showed she was, in so many senses, an absolutely modern woman." @GaskellSociety Quest.Litrasaurus.com/AboutUs #LITRASAURUS
Growing up I wanted to be a Mary Stewart, Murial Sparks or Francoise Sagan character, as well as Emma Peel and Nora Ephron (minus the ‘Heartburn’)
#BoTD Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow Mary Stewart Her stories were generally narrated by poised, smart, highly educated young women who drove fast cars and knew how to fight their corner, but were also tender-hearted with a strong moral sense #LITRASAURUS Quest.Litrasaurus.com/AboutUs
So delighted to receive this certificate from @ReadforGoodUK celebrating 13 yrs of encouraging reading for pleasure while raising over £6,000 to provide books and storytellers for children in hospital
