On Friday afternoon (in the sweltering heat!) our amazing team of student librarians had their well-deserved summer party, with food, games and awards. Thanks to all of them for their invaluable help in the library this year! @Caldew_School

Well, here's my divvy up of the 45 or so longlisted titles for #Spellbinding25. Meeting early January to shortlist - I'd better get reading!

Had a couple of fab visits this week and met lots of happy readers. No pics of 'em though because not allowed ...

Visiting the iconic Highgate Cemetery today where so many writers and artists are buried. The offerings at the grave of the legendary Douglas Adams made me really quite emotional!

@KatieEHolmes_ This looks really good! I'd love to have more detail, particularly with regards to implementation and reception in the sixth form - we are looking at refreshing our "study skills" offer for Year 12 & 13 next year!

‘Teaching students how to study is just as important as teaching them the content’ (Dunlosky, 2013) Here is what our ‘Developing independent learners’ tutor time curriculum looks like 💭 🧠

A fantastic day out at #Spellbinding2024 meeting authors and lots of readers from other Cumbrian schools. A well-deserved win for Josh Silver from a very strong shortlist! Thank you so much @CumbriaSLS, can't wait for next year!

Help me - I can't think of the word - a person who supports a team only when they're winning, like a bandwagoner? But there is another term for it. It's killing me!

@AuthorFranWong Florence, when I was 21, after reading A Room with a View, and Prince Edward Island is still on my bucket list (Anne of Green Gables, of course!). Hopefully next summer!

Brilliant conference, and wonderful keynote from @julianaurelius . I met so many wonderful colleagues and authors, and have come back to school full of ideas. If you look closely at the photo, you can see me on the front right table!
Julian Sedgwick@julianaurelius

It was an absolute joy and privilege to step in last minute to do keynote at @uksla conference in Sheffield. One of the warmest audiences I have ever addressed - huge respect for all your work as librarians :-) @guppybooks

Hi guys, I need some help. I'm currently working on an antagonist. He's large and overbearing, had a gold tooth and dresses like a cowboy. I'm currently calling him Mav. But...I want an ironic name - something that doesn't fit. Any suggestions?

Busy, stuff all pulling in different directions, and so comfort reading #GeorgetteHeyer The Reluctant Widow. A bruised but spirited heroine, a satisfactory Heyero, a delightful young brother and his dog and more of a plot than usual.

This was a huge hit, the felt board and covering case to protect it made a big difference!

I accidentally bought a single banana in the weekly shop. What are your comical accidental size or number errors in online shopping?
