@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Looking forward to hearing about it!

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Just came on here to wish you luck for tomorrow - may the questions be kind! Whatever happens your kids will have an epic day, and I hope the staff will too.

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Not this time - amazing heat where the top team scored 68/75! Now rooting for you!

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Yes, but have not had our heat yet. Last year we had a very tense three round tie-breaker for a place in the final, but crashed out! The kids had a brilliant time though.

@SandwichJunior @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK @mrdillypresents Oh my gosh, you guys are epic!!

@nmgarrard @ColfesSchool @anthony_mcgowan Oh my gosh! Bring it on!!!! Finished 21 Miles yesterday and I am missing Donny already! (and still missing @NateLessore’s Anton (King of Nothing). Those two characters would get on.

Just finished this wonderful and moving sequel to @nmgarrard’s “29 Locks”. Can’t wait to promote it to @ColfesSchool students. “One of the very best pieces of fiction to come out of the refugee crisis” @anthony_mcgowan. Simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting.

@FleurHitchcock @J_C_Pearson @bertsbooks Coming August 1 - don’t hesitate!

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@FleurHitchcock @J_C_Pearson @bertsbooks Just finished it - also loved it - classic Jenny Pearson humour and heart with a narrator to treasure (and my favourite fictional goat). Thanks @J_C_Pearson x

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@FleurHitchcock It’s brilliant - such a great way to show Year 7 that books are important!

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@FleurHitchcock @bertsbooks @J_C_Pearson Reading it right now (thank you Netgalley) - Shipwrecked. Loving it!

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@SarahHaggerHolt ...and it's my turn to encourage you to read "King of Nothing", @NateLessore's next book, which I finished this morning. Now feeling bereaved as I would like more of the characters' lives.

@simonkids_UK @lizkesslerbooks @histassoc Sitting on the shelf here, ready for our Reading Through Time Challenge. Congratulations @lizkesslerbooks!

@HGold_author Roll on 29 Jan 2026 when we can get paperback copies for the school library! That's the budget after next, but Finding Bear is already pre-ordered. Loved meeting you (very briefly, but enough to impress the students at school) at the OU/Harper Collins event in June.

@nmgarrard The Migration Museum have been rocking these posts on Insta - all the penalty takers last Saturday, both the scorers last night - such an important point to make.

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@tompalmerauthor Have so much fun!

[Colfe's Library @COLFESlibrary]

@NateLessore Completely great book! You will fall in love with the characters - can't wait for @NateLessore to write some more!
