Helping my son revise for a geography test this morning and have been enjoying his utter bemusement when I started singing 🎶 Atmosphere, I love a party with a happy atmosphere 🎶 I've got nothing for biosphere or lithosphere though.

DONATE A NEW BOOK! I'm delighted to support the WoodStreetMission Books Forever Appeal again this year and you can help! Simply pop into the shop or head to the website, purchase a kids book (this year we're looking for books ages 4-11) and we'll deliver them to Wood Street Mission on your behalf.

Made my first soda bread today (with roasted garlic in -yum!) and am very happy to discover something that looks every bit as gorgeously rustic in a photo as sourdough but requires minimal effort. Lazy people can show off too!

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!

So glad we chose this for our book club this month, it's the very definition of small but perfectly formed. I could easily read it in a day but I'm savouring its beauty.

At the charity bookshop I run we did Secret Santa among the volunteers and we each picked a pre-loved book from the shop for someone else. I've been given this one which is exciting because I've never read it and might never have picked it up otherwise.

I'm not saying I got too excited and wasn't paying attention but I have just been very surprised by an email from The Lowry saying The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe that I've booked tickets for is on in Dec 2025! I've started reading it to my son very early in that case 🤦‍♀️

Every December 1st I recognise I'm truly living my best life because I never started Elf on the Shelf. The schadenfreude is delicious!

My son thinks it's weird that I've always got several books on the go at the same time. Surely that's normal? And yes I read children's books too because I'm not missing out on great books because I was born too long ago!
