For #sundaymorningbookchat I’ve been reading a lot more hardbacks recently simply because I couldn’t wait! What are your thoughts on paperback vs hardback? Does it matter? Does it add something?

#SundayMorningBookChat this morning is a potential controversial subject: audiobooks. Do you listen to them/ like them? What audiobooks would you recommend? Here are four books where the narration has added to the enjoyment of the book complete with the narrators!

I'm running a session at the @neunion.bsky.social conference later. In case you can't make it: - Graphic novels are a gamechanger. - Prioritise read-aloud time every day. - Book talk should be an embedded part of classroom life. - Build a culture of peer recommendations. - Don't forget poetry.

The Brilliant Alex vs Axel by @stubbleagent.bsky.social is the perfect ‘read aloud’ for a KS2 classroom, funny, full of heart and adventure and a brilliant cast of supporting characters! Can’t wait for the 2nd @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social here’s my review: tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/a...

Retaining her queen of horror crown, Jennifer Killick cleverly balances humour with Blair Witch-style thrills in The Witch in the Woods. If you love Stranger Things or the Sticky Pines series, you’ll love this. Out 28/3 for 9+. Thanks Farshore #kidslituk checkemoutbooks.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/s...
