The placement of the first two headlines in The Bookseller had tickled me this morning 🤣

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 👀🧠✨

📍Lapstone Barn, Chipping Campden

✅ Good amount of loos, bright lighting, enjoyed the stone wall, hand wash smelled nice, mirrors were ample, lovely sinks!

❌ 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 🥹☕🧊

It's a good week when the advances get delivered to @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social 👀✨

🫧Albert's Bubble Bath

🐦Harry and the Heron

🌌Cosmic 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 Children’s 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

"Millward’s scratchy, wild drawings [are the] perfect accompaniment to this fabulous exploration of feelings and freedom" 🐣💛

Kerfuffle Bird featured in The Observer, ahead of pub day next week! 🎉

📍Kibou, Oxford

✅ Fairly consistent décor with the main restaurant, nice hand wash & lotion, free sanitary products, good mirrors, & ample space

❌ Brown walls, lots of stairs to get there...

#AnnaLooksInLoos

One of my pet peeves is Nice Places having crappy toilets.

Soooo I am going to try and document loos for public interest (aka for my husband 😅)

Here we go with tonight's loo...

I don't take the ability to vote lightly.

Many, many, many have gone before us to give us a voice 🙏🏻

I'm a dog person, but just look at my cutie boy 🥹🥰☀️

This weekend I was at the FCBG conference talking to the loveliest crowd of librarians, teachers, and children's book enthusiasts in sunny Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿☀️✨

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. 🧵

Isobel McArthur's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice was stellar this evening!

It's Austen but as a freshly mixed comedy 🤩

Highly recommend: prideandprejudicesortof.com

See you soon 💛🎉

And we're London Book Fair ready🎉

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! 🎉📚

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! ✨

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Happy World Book Day.

Blue skies for Blue Sky ☀️😎
