@akelahall Oh I wish!!! But nice to see the clouds taking over any and every way!!!

@Marnie_Riches @emcarrollauthor Hi Marnie - absolutely yes please!!

I think I've contacted each author who has pledged to donate their books to Spellow Hub library, trashed by far-right rioters. If I've missed you, tweet me. If you'd still like to donate - the more bestsellers the better - tweet or DM me. #ReadingNotRioting

Andy looking beautiful and me just looking like a hot sweaty mess after my slightly epic drive south! BUT wonderful to catch up with m’chum!!! She makes the best tea-less tea going!! 😜😘😂

My pleasure! A fab interview!

@TimRideout1 Oh thanks so much Tim! Thrilled you enjoyed The Cloud Thief! ❤️

THE CLOUD THIEF by @JamesENicol ‘Rain full of light and life and magic.’ Our world is one of the greatest wonder, despite our rather careless stewardship, and it is that wonder that is celebrated in James Nicol’s joyous novel. ‘The Cloud Thief’ is a book of adventure and excitement, set in a world changed by a climate crisis. It tells us that we all have a part to play in caring for our natural world, and that there is cause for hope, particularly when we see the passion and energy that younger generations bring to saving our planet. So here’s to Mara, Eban, Fidget, Caleus and Brume for the adventures yet to come (he writes hopefully). James will be joining us for this year’s @NewarkBookFest and our Young Ambassadors event, a celebration of young readers and reading at all ages. Do join us! Tickets available: newarkbookfestival.org.uk/event/5-a-side…

I’m also pleased that we’ll be joined by @JamesENicol author of the critically-acclaimed Apprentice Witch series. James’s publisher’s website tell us that ‘as a child he always checked wardrobes for hidden worlds and spent hours absorbed in novels or adventuring in the wood at the bottom of the garden.’ So a lot to talk about on the 14th July! I’m currently reading (and loving) James’s latest novel, #TheCloudThief. Again, so much to chat about 😊

@TimRideout1 @sarah_hilary Thanks Tim! Can’t wait for our event and looking forward to chatting! :)

Every year @NewarkBookFest is a celebration of authors and writing, readers and reading. This year, the festival’s young ambassadors are helping us celebrate in style. Five of our wonderful ambassadors will be chatting to five amazing authors and illustrators about their work and their careers. It promises to be a very special event and a highlight of the 2024 festival’s final day. I’ll be there to help things along, although I am fully expecting that no actual help will be required 😊 The event takes place at 10.30am on Sunday 14th July. Tickets available: newarkbookfestival.org.uk/event/5-a-side…
