This displays combines our class celebration of #StDavidsDay and #WorldBookDay and is just in time for the #TirNanOgAward announcement too! Putting the pins in the right places was a challenge! #lovereading #OURfP @LlyfrDaFabBooks

Very excited to receive this post from
@FireflyPress this morning. A new Zillah Bethell book set in Port Talbot. Vanishing Edge publishes next March and is, I think, Zillah’s first YA novel. As someone who has loved all Zillah’s MG novels I cannot wait to read it.

After what feels like a very long time, I am finally back at my writing desk and obsessed with my current WIP. I've given myself the summer to finish this one. Wish me luck!
NB: Tidy desk is also cause for celebration. 🎉

Came across this again this morning. The amazing @lamerch made it for the publication of my witchy book 'Wilde' four years ago. Where has the time gone?!
Sharing it again because it's beautiful and I'll be singing it all day! #Wilde @FireflyPress ❤️
Happy book birthday @Eloisejwilliams ! The Shakespeare quote at the start is from A Midsummer Night's Dream and is so perfect for #Wilde!

I’ve been looking forward to this one for aaaaages 🤗
Excellent blog too!

This was a beautiful read, but I’m very sad that it’s all over. Thank you so much for a fabulous trilogy Lee. My class are REALLY going to love this book. It’s so well written and exciting - I haven’t put it down all day! ☀️🦁@leewhowrites

A shiny new voice from Wales! Max Boucherat (born and raised in Cardiff, now lives in Caerphilly), brings us #TheLastLifeofLoriMills this July. Publishing with Harper Collins this promises spine-tingling sci-fi reminiscent of Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow meets Goosebumps. Sold!

Unfortunately witnessed teachers unable to make reasonable and merited adjustments to teaching styles to accommodate neurodivergent pupils, so this touched a nerve @clogsulike @FireflyPress
Really enjoyed #AHistoryofMyWeird @clogsulike - dynamic main character Mo writes in diary form about growing up. Full of light & shade, it's witty, touching, charming and gritty. Compassionate teachers & supportive parents are essential in helping young people 'find themselves'.

Yes! #FlameChasers by Julie Pike has landed with an awesome (proof) cover by David Dean. Loved Julie's debut so much and cannot wait to get journeying with her again. Looks absolutely stunning - Firefly Press are spoiling us!
