@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Looking forward to hearing about it!

@COLFESlibrary @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Thank you so much - you are so kind! We don’t expect to get far but we are very excited to take part tomorrow. Thank you for always supporting us ! ☺️

#NRCQuiz2025 #GrowAGenerationOfReaders @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents and we’re off to the final! We love reading at Sandwich Junior School and the children’s hard work has paid off again! Well done to the pupils who took part in- we’re so excited for May!

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Just came on here to wish you luck for tomorrow - may the questions be kind! Whatever happens your kids will have an epic day, and I hope the staff will too.

@COLFESlibrary @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Oh no! Wow! 68 out of 75 is amazing. We are still in awe of you guys and your wonderful reading ethos - we are kindred spirits! Thank you for rooting for us - we are busy reading lots in preparation! 📖📖📖

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Not this time - amazing heat where the top team scored 68/75! Now rooting for you!

@COLFESlibrary @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents We wish you lots of luck. We really loved meeting you the year before last and it would be wonderful to see you at finals again! 😊

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Yes, but have not had our heat yet. Last year we had a very tense three round tie-breaker for a place in the final, but crashed out! The kids had a brilliant time though.

@COLFESlibrary @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Have only just seen this! Thank you so much! The children are so happy - did you enter again this year?

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Oh my gosh, you guys are epic!!

@nmgarrard @ColfesSchool @anthony_mcgowan Oh my gosh! Bring it on!!!! Finished 21 Miles yesterday and I am missing Donny already! (and still missing @NateLessore’s Anton (King of Nothing). Those two characters would get on.

@COLFESlibrary @ColfesSchool @anthony_mcgowan Funny you should say that… it’s in the pipeline!

Just finished this wonderful and moving sequel to @nmgarrard’s “29 Locks”. Can’t wait to promote it to @ColfesSchool students. “One of the very best pieces of fiction to come out of the refugee crisis” @anthony_mcgowan. Simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting.

@nmgarrard @ColfesSchool @anthony_mcgowan Always! Hoping for a Donny goes to uni sequel…

@COLFESlibrary @ColfesSchool @anthony_mcgowan Thank you so much for reading! 🥰

@FleurHitchcock @J_C_Pearson @bertsbooks Coming August 1 - don’t hesitate!

What’s everyone reading this weekend?

@FleurHitchcock @J_C_Pearson @bertsbooks Just finished it - also loved it - classic Jenny Pearson humour and heart with a narrator to treasure (and my favourite fictional goat). Thanks @J_C_Pearson x

@FleurHitchcock It’s brilliant - such a great way to show Year 7 that books are important!

@FleurHitchcock @bertsbooks @J_C_Pearson Reading it right now (thank you Netgalley) - Shipwrecked. Loving it!

@SarahHaggerHolt ...and it's my turn to encourage you to read "King of Nothing", @NateLessore's next book, which I finished this morning. Now feeling bereaved as I would like more of the characters' lives.

Thank everyone who told me to read this book, you are SO RIGHT, it is sweet, hilarious and the friendships in it are so joyful. Now it's my turn to encourage you to read it.

@simonkids_UK @lizkesslerbooks @histassoc Sitting on the shelf here, ready for our Reading Through Time Challenge. Congratulations @lizkesslerbooks!

We are delighted that Liz Kessler has won the  8-11 Years Young Quills Award for Code Name Kingfisher, a story of two brave sisters aiding the Dutch resistance. Thank you to the young readers who read and voted, and huge congratulations to Liz! 📚🏆 @lizkesslerbooks @histassoc

@HGold_author Roll on 29 Jan 2026 when we can get paperback copies for the school library! That's the budget after next, but Finding Bear is already pre-ordered. Loved meeting you (very briefly, but enough to impress the students at school) at the OU/Harper Collins event in June.

@nmgarrard The Migration Museum have been rocking these posts on Insta - all the penalty takers last Saturday, both the scorers last night - such an important point to make.

@tompalmerauthor Have so much fun!

This is tomorrow. For schools. It's about #EURO2024 and reading. We now have enough children coming to fill Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park. Help us fill Wembley, please? Whether it's coming home or not, this is an open goal when it comes to promoting reading for pleasure1

@NateLessore Completely great book! You will fall in love with the characters - can't wait for @NateLessore to write some more!

Coming soon... ... April. It's coming in April. 2024.
