[1] Good times on the road with Tim of @bouncemarketing.bsky.social today to dish out #THIRST proofs. The East Midlands are blessed with gorgeous indie bookshops, passionate booksellers and wonderful school librarians. Was a pleasure to meet so many of them today. ->
@pushkinchildrens.bsky.social

I've been spoilt this weekend, not only by the extra day but also by the sight of #THIRST proofs finding their way into readers' hands. A book only comes alive when it's read.

Nothing softens the blow of a long weekend's demise like kind words about #THIRST from the superlative #JenniferKillick. Thanks so much, Jennifer! 😁🙏 @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social
