I live behind the bakery where #harrystyles worked and every-time the sun shines it creates an x on the fence of their carpark 😊 #strange #Xfactor

Is there an easy way to follow everyone back on here or do we have to tap on each one individually and follow back? TIA

Hello from Cheshire

Can you believe there’s only 44 days left to enter our kids prize? We close on 1st January 2025 and so if you have a picture book, first chapter book, middle grade book or YA, we can’t wait to read your work.

Yes getting up at 5 am to finish this beauty. Can’t remember the last time I did this for a book & it’s such a nice feeling. Have you read it?

An awesome prize and opportunity to get thoughtful, real feedback on your work!
