Ogres... jam tarts... sausage rolls... a bear who likes knitting... and a grumpy little 200 year old monster hunter who just wants to retire. Monster Hunting For Beginners is available now from all good bookshops, and some really shockingly bad ones too. @FarshoreBooks

@KaelTudor @ghibault @FarshoreBooks @rorystephencodd I hope you like it!

Monstrously exciting book post today! I’m a big fan of the Monster Hunting series by @ianmmark, with illustrations by @ghibault, so getting book 3, Just Add Dragons, has made my day! Huge thanks to @FarshoreBooks and @rorystephencodd for sending me a copy!

@eenalol @FarshoreBooks Thank you so much! I live in hope that there may be more Monster Hunting books down the line, but for now it seems I must wave goodbye to Jack, Nancy and Stoop! Louis @ghibault's illustrations are, as you say, as wonderful as ever!

FINISHED: I thoroughly enjoyed this! This whole series has been wonderful and funny. I love the illustrations in this too - they’re so fun! A gorgeous ending to the series… and who doesn’t love dragons? (If they do in fact exist?!) bravo @ianmmark

#FirstLineoftheDay Monster hunters don’t get Sundays off. - Monster Hunting: Just Add Dragons by Ian Mark 9 May @FarshoreBooks @ianmmark

Out today! Book Three in the Monster Hunting series. Perfect summer reading for anyone who can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. So not me then.

@JRBaughen_79 Thank you! It's coming soon! And Nancy gets a chance to tell part of the story in Book Three for... reasons. (As for Book Two, I had a personal fondness for Nun Of Your Business myself.) 😂

Bedtime book #7 of 2024 - the second installment of Monster Hunting - Monsters Bite Back by @ianmmark As good as the first part with an additional cast of Nuns. Our favourite - Nun of the Above. We've added book 3 to our to read list * we want more Stoop ** Also more Nancy

Full cover reveal for the third book in the Monster Hunting series written by @ianmmark, which comes out on the 9th of May! Thank you to @ianmmark, @tiffgingersnap and @FarshoreBooks, you have all been amazing! #book #cover #illustration #monsterhunting

So lovely to get a mention in this list for Monster Hunting: Monsters Bite Back. Thank you so much!

@kidsstoryworld @FarshoreBooks Thank you, Kirsten. Hope they both enjoy the second one!

Thank you so much @ianmmark !!! The boys are over the moon and looking forward to becoming expert monster hunters - really kind of you and youngest (who normally inherits big brother‘s books) couldn’t believe that a copy was just for him. Anyone thinking of reading it…do!!! 😍

@creativedifrnce Thank you! These look terrific. I did try to go on Instagram, but initially it said I'd broken the rules and shut me out - despite never posting a single thing - and then, when I got back in, I didn't know how to use it. So here I am instead. I hope you have a lovely Chrtistmas.

I've had such a wonderful time seeing all of these of #mytranslations becoming available in book shops! I've shared on Instagram, tagging most everyone I could find. This one is especially for @ianmmark, whom I wasn't able to Insta-locate. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all!

Thing. Hill. Tower.

@kidsstoryworld @ianmark @FarshoreBooks That means more to me than you can know. Thank you. I hope your boys are still asking for more 20 chapters in!

Started reading this as bedtime story - brilliant! The boys were left wanting me to read more at the end of the 2nd chapter. Suspense is the sign of a good book! Really well written and fantastic humour @ianmark @ghbalt @FarshoreBooks

Thank you, Esme! What a brilliant reading. It even made me laugh... and I knew what was coming. 😂

@K_McGee The one question you're always asked by readers is: Where do you get your ideas? My answer from now on will be: From Esther. That spider idea is genius.

@ianmmark Ha I will although they were a bit gruesome, one had a poisonous spider living on its face!

@ianmmark hi my daughter Esther loved the latest monster hunters book and would love to know if there will be any more in the series?

@K_McGee That's amazing. Tell her to send them to me, so that I can steal a few of them...

@ianmmark Brilliant, she will be thrilled - she’s re-reading the first book at the moment! She’s even started her drawing own book of monsters!
