@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.
@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 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
@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.
@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.
