  • Check out this colourful pile! It’s a beautiful shot from one of our Book Worms, Lindsay. She has read a range of books recently, her favourite here being Where The Crawdads Sing! Another good one was Unnatural Causes - I’ve added both to my TBR pile. She wasn’t a big fan of Queenie though. Have you read or would like to read any of these? 📚

  • Thank you so much to our wonderful subscribers, Guy and Claire, for sharing this brilliant photo of their adorable cat, Paul. This is Paul’s basket, a commandeered washing basket, packed with his favourite accessory - our wrapping paper! 😻

  • This is one title I’m hoping to read over the summer. ☀️ Shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, The Baghdad Clock begins in 1991, during the Gulf War, when two young girls meet in an air raid shelter and become the best of friends. It then follows the girls as they come of age in a once thriving neighbourhood stricken by sanctions and bombings. With a focus on community, friendship and life in the face of war and tragedy, Shahad Al Rawi shows the reality of life in a war-torn city beyond the familiar images in the media. ☀️ What’s a book you’re looking forward to reading this summer?

  • We’re so excited to be working with @story_imaginory, a Leicester-based small business and social enterprise working to bring the magic of reading to children across the county. They’re going to be giving away one of our 6 month children’s subscriptions, so make sure you give them a follow so you don’t miss out on your chance to win! Posted @withrepost • @story_imaginory *New Partnership Announcement* I am thrilled to announce that @willoughbybooks are now supporting the Story Imagin-ory social enterprise. The Willoughby Book Club are an award winning book subscription box, delighting readers with monthly up to date books and literature. They contacted me after reading about our Social Enterprise, and invited me in to see how they could support us. I had a wonderful meeting with the directors, who are as passionate as me about getting books into the hands of the children that need them, as well as providing face to face early literacy support. They have pledged that for every new children's book subscription they receive, they will donate a book to our give back scheme. So every time someone buys a book for their child, niece, grandchild, they will also be putting a book directly into the hands of someone who needs it. Not only that, but they will be visiting our amazing classes and we will be working together to put on free events for local children and families in need. I can't express how grateful I am for them seeing the good in what we do and wanting to better it. IN ADDITION to this this @willoughbybooks are offering YOU the chance to win a FREE 6 months children's subscription box. Details to follow..... https://www.thewilloughbybookclub.co.uk Very happy times! I can't wait for this partnership to grow!

  • Nearly finished this now! It tells the true story of Suzanne Malherbe and Lucie Schwob, two French women who subvert the norms of the twentieth century. They’re deeply in love, recreate themselves as Marcel Moore and Claude Cahun and wear men’s clothing. When WW2 reaches their chosen home of Jersey, the two use their talents as artists, writer and illustrator, to create a campaign against Hitler’s occupying forces. What are you currently reading?

  • “You may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships. Some you’ll discover you should put behind you. Others are worth every risk.” ☠️ On a less sentimental note, do people get the Death-Cast call because they are fated to be killed by the Last Friend app serial killer or are they are killed by the Last Friend app serial killer because they got the call? 🤔
