The placement of the first two headlines in The Bookseller had tickled me this morning π€£
Anddd that's a wrap! What a fun, thought inducing day at The Bookseller's Marketing and Publicity Conference yesterday - please hold while my brain whirls and twirls with ideas ππ§ β¨

Good amount of loos, bright lighting, enjoyed the stone wall, hand wash smelled nice, mirrors were ample, lovely sinks!
β Not enough space between loos & sinks, stiff doors, had to shove to open one, felt less grand than the rest of the venue & that bothers me
Reason 3743 of why I love my husband:
When he buys an sneaky iced coffee for me, because he knows I am a fan, and hides it in the fridge so I don't see it until the morning π₯Ήβπ§
It's a good week when the advances get delivered to @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social πβ¨
π«§Albert's Bubble Bath
π¦Harry and the Heron
πCosmic Cadets and the Universal Uni-Korn
These children's books are coming this autumn - yay!

Thank you so much Nicolette - we love Kerfuffle Bird!
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Gwen Millward from Kerfuffle Bird by Helen Docherty, a picturebook about expressing bottled-up feelings. Neon tones, a scribbly line and an exuberant sense of fun. Paperback from Oxford Childrenβs Books 5 June. @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social @helendocherty.bsky.social
Cheese is a privilege, not a right, I just told my dog
But on second thought is this actually true? Where is the case law

"Millwardβs scratchy, wild drawings [are the] perfect accompaniment to this fabulous exploration of feelings and freedom" π£π

This is a insightful and interesting thread - thank you for sharing. Butterfly effect very much comes into mind here too.
How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?
Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. π§΅
Isobel McArthur's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice was stellar this evening!
It's Austen but as a freshly mixed comedy π€©
Highly recommend: prideandprejudicesortof.com

I've got my box of tricks ready for #WorldBookDay to celebrate the WONDER OF BOOKS! Have a great World Book Day everyone @naomijones1.bsky.social @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social
Happy #WorldBookDay! ππ
We inspire children and young people to read for fun, because it makes a serious difference to their lives.
Show us how you #ReadYourWay and stay tuned for a day full of fun! β¨
Etymology of the day: βbookβ comes from an ancient root shared by βbeechβ, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. βPaperβ comes from βpapyrusβ, and βvolumeβ is from the Latin for a βrollβ of parchment.
Happy World Book Day.
