One for my librarian and teacher friends! I have a new dyslexia-friendly book with Barrington Stoke out in June - aimed at 11+ with a reading age of 7. Join Kit and Hamza as they race against time to deliver a roast turkey across London! Funny, fast-paced, 5000 words. Hope you like it!

The second series of Am I Being Unreasonable? on iPlayer was just as darkly hilarious and gripping as the first. That ending though! I googled ‘Will there be a third series’ immediately (yes 🎉)

TV I’ve enjoyed recently: Colin from Accounts (series 2) on iPlayer: warm, witty and surprisingly moving Queenie (channel 4): faithful adaptation of the novel. Dionne Brown (Queenie) is a superstar The Devil’s Hour (Amazon Prime): creepy, clever, mind-melting thriller that kept me glued to the sofa

Once more, but with make up. PEOPLE LIKE STARS, my new middle grade contemporary mystery is out today. Three young people. A stolen baby. A family secret. A grumpy tattooed woman of a certain age who definitely bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone I know. Or am. Cover #michellebrackenborough

Superb afternoon at the cinema, chain-eating sweets and watching Nicole Kidman kill it in Babygirl. She was excellent. As were Harris Dickinson as her intern/lover and Antonio Banderas as her devoted husband. Sexy and uncomfortable, I heartily recommend it (if sexy and uncomfortable is your thing)

In a surprise change from Claude's fashion cavalcade, today's #TheTraitors fan art is Alexander being the most ridiculously wonderful (or wonderfully ridiculous) on TV right now.

This popped up when I was on the Circle line. It's nice when nice things pop up on the Circle line. (Also payback for being an older sister who often cared for her younger brothers!) Thank you @timeslucy.bsky.social cover Michelle Brackenborough

Any other pickleball enthusiasts on here? Husband and I have been playing for a couple of months now and are very taken with it. It’s basically all the best bits of badminton and tennis. Also, I just love saying ‘pickleball’.

Gutted that Netflix cancelled Kaos! Just finished the first (and now only) season and thought it was great – inventive, clever, moving and packed with charismatic performances. Booooooo, @netflix.com, booooooooooooooooooo!

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

I’m finding the new Sally Rooney (Intermezzo) a bit boring. Has anyone read it? Is it worth persevering with? I’ve read and enjoyed her others but I’m finding this one a wee bit impenetrable.
