We’ve made our Taipei Book Fair debut 😊

We weren’t there in person but we think Lauren O’Hara and Oscar Wilde represented us well.

Thanks to bookseller Jocelyn Chuang of Eslite in Taiwan for bringing along copies with limited edition signed book plates.

Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40%, study finds Cognitive health in later life is ‘strongly influenced’ by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers

The study points to using libraries and visiting museums as bringing these enormous brain health benefits ... who would have thought? Well, librarians and museum folk for a start ... www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

8. Miss Mary-Kate Martin’s Guide to Monsters: The Wrath of the Woolington Wyrm
Karen Foxlee & Freda Chiu

Rumour of the Woolington Wyrm is abound, and plans to develop the land seem to have disturbed and angered it. Cue Mary-Kate, curious and thoughtful, to find out what’s really going on.

This is so good, Rachael! Did you read Dragon Skin by Karen Foxlee? Was my book of the year (for any age) in 2021. Speaking of firmly planted in real world, with a tiny bit of magic. It's middle grade, completely emotionally wrenching, and the most stunning writing
