You could start here. And there is great grandeur in this episode. But you could also start anywhere. @backlisted.bsky.social is a real national treasure, I don't say that lightly. If you need inspiration to read, you'll always find it here. Bravo Andy, and all the team. Heroic, heroic stuff.

Blue Jelly and Strawberries has become a staple of our bedtime reading. My 5 and 7 year old daughters keep coming back to it, and quite right too as it's brilliant. Get over to Attie's IG if you can and give yourself a chance of a treat!

An Evening with Andrea Gibb
Join us to celebrate the release of Miss Austen, a landmark BBC drama about the life of Jane Austen, with screenwriter Andrea Gibb.
I'm a wee bit embarrassed posting this, given the bleakness of the news but....Dr Andrew Meehan from Strathclyde Uni is hosting this conversation on Miss Austen tomorrow evening. Please come along if you're around and free. You can just walk in, no need to register. Let me know if you're on for it

Wild that it's not a legal requirement to have a library in schools. A good library is the very best of us. #libraries #librarians #literacy #booksky
