Cover of AM Dassau's Fight Back, illustration showing students of different religions and backgrounds standing together

In my local area, faith groups have supported each other after last week's attack in Manchester. This is how we stay strong. Fellow @littlerebsprize.bsky.social winner AM Dassu's 'Fight Back' shows this in action. DM me if you know a school/youth group who could use a copy, I'd love to buy them one.

Today I'm sharing an excerpt from an interesting and moving #romance novel #TheNextBreath by @laurelosterkamp.bsky.social

See more about the book including the extract on the blog today!

Me on the left, looking very orange for some reason, and the wonderful Maz, looking very glam and holding up her book.

Lovely to celebrate the launch of The Last Bard by the brilliant @mazevansauthor.bsky.social last night, whose hilarious speech had us all in stitches and to catch up with various bookish people.

It publishes on Thursday x

I’ll leave that for you to decide! x

You really do - it’s super creepy! 😱 x

My pleasure! 😊

Just know it’s going to be huge fun! x

A proof of the book and its press release. The cover shows a frustrated boy with his hands clamped over his ears sitting on top of a circular dial labelled ‘FAIL-O-METER’ with the needle pointing to ‘100% EPIC FAIL’.

Fabulous funny book post today! Love @philearle.bsky.social's writing and can’t wait to read Finn's Epic Fails, illustrated by Al Murphy. Out 29/01, enormous thanks go to Jess @simonkids.bsky.social 😀

The book, the cover of which shows 2 children, one holding up a lantern, surrounded by fog with a ship’s masts visible in the background.
