Uhoh. Jeff's throwing a tantrum. He wants better discounts from them. You can still get Bloomsbury books from Bert's, though.

Very late to the party I know but #HappyValley errr - how awesome?!?!? Totally in awe of #SallyWainwright . All her stuff is great. Casting is spot on too. Tommy is extra vile because he looks like such a nice guy and is handsome. Brilliant TV - if v darkly disturbing

For teachers who want author visits: usually, authors charge, and asking for free visits from authors makes things awkward. One chance you have at free visits is when an author is doing a book tour. #KidlitUK #Edusky 1/2
