Finding the right book, for the right reader can be the key that unlocks a love for reading and literacy skills for life. We believe that *all* reading is valid. Comic books and graphic novels can be especially powerful for reluctant readers. #GrowAGenerationOfReaders

On the topic of children's reading for pleasure, I don't think that there is any one area of publishing that is more valid/useful than any other. Serious books can be as easy to read as funny ones if you're in the right mood. The key is to access the right book at the right time

A lovely autumny #Orkney sunrise taken from the ferry as #BookyMcBookface sails north to Eday this morning. 🌅❤️
The sunrise in Orkney this morning. The sun rising over a strip of land on the horizon. The sky is orange. In the foreground is the deck and structure of the ferry.

Look at that screen - "Let's hold hands and take a wee bow". Right on. Still pinching myself. I feel so lucky to have chaired my first ever event with the unstoppable talent and utter gorgeousness that is @JackieKayPoet. All the wows!

Nothing nicer than spending time in a book shop… except seeing your own book in the window! Thanks Durham Waterstones.

Today is #BookshopDay, celebrating bookshops and all they do and stand for. Between Sheffield and Shetland, I’ve got to know all 180 of them: tiny island general stores; carefully-curated and vibrant indies; chains who know and cherish their customers just as much; all of them centres and facilitators of community, run with knowledge and love. I’ll be in @thebookcircleselby, 1-3pm, signing special editions of ‘Wicked’, but today, please drop in to any bookshop. Browse, pick something you don’t know, talk to a bookseller - you may even meet an author and I’m sure that you’ll take home a great new book.
