School librarians: looking for non-fiction suggestions - what have been your most popular titles this year?

Achieved my new year’s resolution to wear all my necklaces at least once throughout the year!

Oh the almost-the-holidays-sleeping-through-the-alarm is back. One more alarm left…

Every child should experience the magic of a bedtime story✨📚

A whole morning of children’s literature on #R4Today - what a way to start the Christmas magic

Last working day of the year! I can’t believe I ended it living by the shipbuilding water with nearby beaches galore 😍 2024 was life-changing - I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store!

Christmas holiday reading. I have given up on Wolf Hall after many attempts, but giving The Mirror and the Light a go after loving the recent TV series.

Books from Santa📚🎄☘️

My books of the year for 2024: Wild Houses Really Good, Actually Strange Sally Diamond Seaborne Ghost Mountain Hey, Zoey Squeaky Clean Caledonian Road This Is How You Remember It Green Dot

The best James Joyce story was the perfect festive watch today

Farewell, then, to this app that I loved so much. All the good folk are going and I’ve had no engagement for weeks 😔 If you’re on Insta and I don’t follow you let me know.

So very sorry to read this. I had the privilege of interviewing Morag during YLG Committee conference 2021 and her knowledge of children’s reading development was outstanding.

A final thought before the year’s out: I just worked out that if I’d bought all the library books I’ve read this year it would have cost me £798. So, you know, use your library 🙂
