I’ve read Grimwood three times but listening to the audio version read by Adam Buxton is a whole other experience. I highly recommend. @nadiashireen.bsky.social

I keep seeing this, looks badass, I must get!

Another review for A British Childhood. The book comes out this week, so if you don't pre-order soon you'll only be ordering and not pre-ordering www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

Out today. My class are already loving this! @monstrouscomics.bsky.social @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social

It's publication day of Legacy: The Shadow Rises! If any of you pick up a copy, I really hope you enjoy it! 🙂

I read the original a long time ago. Looking forward to reading this updated version. Thanks @bobbyllew.bsky.social for the great service.

Trigger warning ... I'm going to be popping up on #TodayProgramme #BBCRadio4 To talk about easter reading quite soon

Yes dear people it's time for the COVER REVEEEAALLL www.waterstones.com/book/a-briti...

I have been reading Sputnik by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social and @stevenlenton.bsky.social to my Year 5 Swordfish class. They loved it. The children’s reactions when Grandad could see Sputnik (top of page) were priceless. At the end they said “can we read another book just like that?”

This was a perfect storm of an episode because Ramzee is a tornado of fun and a lightning storm of erudition and me and that @nadiashireen.bsky.social were blown away.

I’ve just had these incredible books donated to my classroom. We’ve already read Cosmic as a class and are currently reading Sputnik together. These books are going to fly off the shelves. @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social @stevenlenton.bsky.social

Just been listening to @nadiashireen.bsky.social talking about reading Smash Hits. I miss those times.

Listening to @nadiashireen.bsky.social and @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social argue/discuss what counts as reading really highlights the problem. What is reading? Everyone is probably reading more than ever (thanks social media) but reading a book from beginning to end brings its own rewards.

I’ve been catching up with last month’s @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social all about the National Year of Reading. It has inspired me to do more to raise the status of reading and get even more people into it. I’m going to do a weekly book recommendation on the school insta for a start.

A new Red Dwarf novel. Exciting times!

Bunny Vs Monkey: Total Chaos is available as part of World Book Day, free with a WBD token, or £1/€1.50 otherwise. Available in most places that sell books!

We took part in the Children’s BookFest at school this week. Awesome visits from Joseph Elliott and Chante Timothy @heychante.bsky.social Great presentations from both and every child goes home with a copy of the book thanks to the BookFest charity. That’s 360 books handed out!

Hey! It’s the National Year of Reading 2026. There’s all sorts of resources and info available “out there”, so have a look if you like. It’s for all of us xx #GoAllIn @booktrust.org.uk @literacy-trust.bsky.social

As you know @nadiashireen.bsky.social is in charge of The Year of Reading. She goes on and on and on about on this month's @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social Here .. open.spotify.com/episode/5GTA...

This was great fun to do, and worth listening to just for Charlie Higson’s excellent Eeyore voice.

It’s the Christmas holidays and what better way to spend your time than listening to a brilliant podcast talking about brilliant books. Hosted by @nadiashireen.bsky.social and @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social and guested on by me! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I did a podcast. It’s called @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social. It’s all about children’s books. It’s hosted by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social and @nadiashireen.bsky.social. I do say nice things about @davidashelton.bsky.social.

Been meaning to say: the latest @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social podcast is especially worth your time because the visitor to the island is marvellous @philtite.bsky.social (& I'm not saying this just because he and @nadiashireen.bsky.social say nice things about me). www.podbean.com/ew/pb-eskcn-...

If it's marvellous mayhem you're after - this is where you'll find it. And you get two masters at work for the price of one, what with @stevenlenton.bsky.social being at the height of his powers.

'The Missing' - book+ video of what happened to my relatives during WW2 'On the Move' - poems about this 'Please Write Soon' - a fictionalised story of my father and his Polish cousin writing to each other during WW@ 'One Day' - true story of a small group who resisted the Nazis.

Some years ago I decided to leave the real world and move permanently to Grimwood. I’m much happier here. We are currently voting for a new mayor.

A cosy middle grade mystery, with strong themes of friendship and family, The Last Pebble by @alexhorne.bsky.social is out now from @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social #KidlitUK #UKKidlit worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/08/27/t...

Love it. And so does my 4 year old granddaughter:) He's a gem.

Super excited to receive the latest Grimwood in the post today. Everything @nadiashireen.bsky.social does is brilliant and I can’t wait to dive into book 5 of the series.

I can’t recommend this channel enough. I use it at school often.

Thank you @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social for the latest Max & Chaffy by @jamiesmart.bsky.social. Phoebe loves this series. She won’t let me take it to school. It’s a great entry level graphic novel/comic. Out mid August.

This was a fun day with @sophyhenn.bsky.social Nick Sharratt and Joseph Elliott as part of Children’s BookFest. They’re an amazing charity raising money to buy local school children books.

This was fun! Thanks @sophyhenn.bsky.social for our end of term draw along Happy Hills treat. The kids loved it!

Look what ariived! It’s the Pocket Book of Pocket Poems by AF Harrold! @afharrold.com Super-useful for if you need a poem and you’re in a hurry, or you need to send a poem, but you only have a small piece of paper to write it on...

Excellent human being Phil Tite recommends excellent comics by excellent human being Neill Cameron. Recommended for all better than average human beings (that means YOU - don't be so hard on yourself!)

Something brand new from @neillcameron.bsky.social. Thanks @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social. Donut Squad looks top class. Out early May.

Love this show. Saw it on Thursday in Southampton 7 years after seeing it in London.

Mr Blackbird is visiting the garden a lot at the moment.
