WOW! What an amazing launch for Twisted50 Vol3!
I had the best time presenting awards to the winning writers.
It was wonderful to see @kate_elisa123 @londonswf (AKA Chris Jones) @elinorperrysmith @darkmarkwriting and a huge thank you to @lanes_library_ and @michela.hibbett for coming with me!

I would be exactly the same. πŸ˜‰ Another reason to love Google Docs. But needs must!
You're a star, Bev. Thanks for the help.

Thank you. I've never bought an Apple product in my life. Crazy right! I'm currently working on a Chromebook. I like Google Docs so much better than MSWord but the industry standard is Word. I will also need to get the new version of Final Draft.

Interesting. Thank you. I didn't know that was an option. I always buy new. The budget is Β£800 but if I can get it for less than fab.

This one is for the writers.

I need a new laptop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I haven't bought a laptop in six years.

Many thanks.

Thank you for sharing this. I had to turn down a book deal when the pandemic happened in order to support my kids with their educational and emotional needs. People called me a failure and said I'd given up. Nope. I paused for 5 years rather than giving up on my kids when they needed me the most!

I've worked for Waterstones for five years. It's a new obsession for readers. People are loving them.

Delivered some bookish cupcakes to @waterstonesashford today and was given a lovely tour of the new bookshop. I'll post a video of the shop over the weekend once the locals have had a chance to visit. Well done to Alfie and the Ashford team. You've done an amazing job. The shop looks beautiful! πŸ“šβœ¨οΈ

Yes! I leave books all over the house too. My middle daughter only read Manga and graphic novels for the longest time. One day, she went to my bookshelf, chose a novel and read the whole thing. Then she read another and another. Mind blown!

How exciting!

I agree. A lot of parents tell their kids what to read. This never works. As a bookseller and a mother of three, I suggest showing kids every type of book and then allowing them to CHOOSE. Works like a charm. 😊

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books
