@bookish_fish I read it very recently! Was worried that it might not live up to my high expectations, but I was happily wrong. Got the paperback in the library now and need someone to read it quickly so I can talk about it!!

Ahh the joy of new books in the library! #soshiny #readingmatters #schoollibrarians

[Francesca C-P @FrancescaC_P]

@libswithlives True, it's quite a problematic one. Wham all the way, though. Mariah, The Pogues, Slade...

[Francesca C-P @FrancescaC_P]

@libswithlives That would be so great! Or you could record a selection of Christmas bops..!

@libswithlives Surely 'unwieldy' is synonymous with 'festive'...?? Or is that just me.

[Francesca C-P @FrancescaC_P]

@libswithlives @emmasuffield Hi both, I've changed my Twitter handle (just happened to see this)! Emma actually tweeted me the other day :) thank you all the same!
