Monday morning inspiration 😊

Toffee came to work ⁦Village Books⁩ for the whole day today. It was clearly exhausting, she’s been sound asleep all evening.

Amazing. All the applause. 👏👏👏

Yesterday I had a tour of the new distribution centre for ⁦HarperCollinsUK⁩, opening next year. I went to the very top of the racking in a cherry picker. It’s huge & has space for an *awesome* number of books. Lovely to be in #Glasgow & the sun shone. ☀️

Happy #WorldBookDay . We’ve had a busy day ⁦Village Books⁩ - lots of children swapping a voucher for a book of their own. Most popular choices have been Dinosaur Club, Charlie McGrew by ⁦Rob Biddulph⁩ and Loki by ⁦Louie Stowell⁩

Happy World Book Day UK 📚!

We're proud to have sponsored the charity for 27 years. 🥳

Reading for pleasure is a vital indicator of a child's future success – more so than their family circumstances, educational background or oncome.

That's why #WorldBookDay is so important.

Happy #WorldBookDay to everyone! It’s wonderful to see the joy and love on social media. Reading truly is a door-opener to so much for children and the collective effort of World Book Day UK 📚 is a wonder to behold. Big shout out to all brilliant bookshops doing events this week 😍

My view this morning ❤️

I have always loved my job. Today I feel particularly blessed.
Thank you ⁦Sceptre Books⁩

#HolidayReading book 5 is #ShyCreatures by ⁦Clare Chambers⁩ which is every bit as good as I hoped for. Beautifully written, wonderfully atmospheric, intriguing, compelling and with much subtle and skewering humour. A complete triumph. ⁦W&N⁩ ⁦Virginia Woolstencroft⁩

#HolidayReading book 4, his & hers. I’m devouring #DamascusStation , a bestseller ⁦Village Books⁩ & very highly rated by OH. I agree. He’s reading #MoscowX and already ignoring everything around him. Congrats ⁦David McCloskey⁩ ⁦Swift Press⁩

#HolidayReading book 3. I’ve hung onto this proof for a year & I wish I’d read it sooner - it’s superb. Layered, atmospheric, compelling and SO beautifully written. Paperback out April. Shortlisted for Walter Scott Prize. Congrats ⁦Jo Baker⁩ ⁦Francesca Main⁩

#HolidayReading Book 2 is The Reappearance of Rachel Price by ⁦Holly Jackson⁩ coming from ⁦HarperCollinsUK⁩ in April. A brilliant, twisty can’t-put-down thriller which’s #YA readers will love.

Day 1 of holiday and first book finished. Absolutely terrific entertainment from ⁦Elly Griffiths⁩. A good murder (or several) great characters, and a few laughs about the craft of writing. Perfect! And I’m glad I brought The Moonstone with me. ⁦Quercus Books⁩
