Just to jump on the bandwagon here, I feel I should point out I'm BellisDoesBooks across the board (just in case you're worried about missing my sporadic, inconsistent and almost exclusively book related musings should things go even more tits up)

We're thrilled to see Shipwrecked as our Children's Book of the Month for August, and even more thrilled to have author @J_C_Pearson joining us in store to test your survival skills on August 16th at 1pm! Get in touch to book a spot! Approx 8yrs+

@_JamieLeePilk @wstrafford @Wildfirebks @headlinepg I bobbed in yesterday for a book and it looked ace!

[Waterstones Alty @WaterstonesAlty]

Oh Sprinkles!! Look what's arrived - from the team that brought us 'A Child of Books' comes 'The Dictionary Story' and it's every bit as detailed, beautiful, funny, clever and joyous as you'd expect (Rachael very much enjoyed giggling away at her copy last night!)

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@vonprice @AndyRileyish @welbeckpublish @domdelaking Peapod will love this I think!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@catherinebruton I thought it must be! I love that book.

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@catherinebruton I loved it!

Also, I hope you don't mind me asking (you don't have to answer) - while it's made me want to reread/re-watch A Kestrel for a Knave/Kes, which I know was a big influence, I'm also wondering if Will and his uncle were named as nods to Goodnight Mister Tom?x

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

You (and I!) never know when a new post will pop up on my poor, sidelined blog but today's the day!
My review of the wonderful Bird Boy by @catherinebruton is up, although it was so hard to put into words all the things this book made me think and feel.

@markbradleyart I love this.

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@ashley__thorpe 😂😂 Brilliant! This has really made me chuckle, but also even more happy with my dedication now - I loved Captain Planet!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@sophyhenn Absolutely!!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYY! SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@abielphinstone 😂 That's my sort of survival kit!
This reminded me of when Bumble makes some changes to the emergency kit in @markbradleyart's Bumble and Snug and the Angry Pirates!!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@FireflyPress @nicolakidsbooks @JackieMorrisArt @DHAbooks @wainwrightprize @bouncemarketing Brilliant news! Love this (and The Song that Sings Us) so much.

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

First thing Peapod said this morning* - "I love books! And comics! Shall we make a comic - do you want to be in my comic club?"

Yes. Yes I do.

*OK, the actual first thing he said was "do you know how to do air-jitsu?" but after that...!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@aroomofmyown1 @Bridgeanne Same, and agreed.

[Larry & Paul @larryandpaul]

🚨 So, it appears #ToriesAreOut - lots of them will be looking for jobs. Can you help?

🙏🏻 Please share the #ToryMPAppeal.

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

Guys, can someone please make an 'I wanna see the sunshine after the rain' video of Sunak announcing the election and Starmer accepting the role?

[Prossy Kakooza (She/Her) @Pkakooza]

This might just be the best video I've seen in the last 4 years lol

This picture from last year says everything I need to say right now.

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

@MelTBessent @FarshoreBooks I'm sure I will!

[Rachael 📚📖 @BellisDoesBooks]

Happy publication day @MelTBessent and thank you @FarshoreBooks for this super fun Imagination Island parcel - I can't wait to visit!
