I feel like I can definitely use this tweet for Library promotion, right? https://t.co/30fqktWgVE

Anyone with aspirations of being PM, make sure you also have an appetite for reading and reading and reading and reading. #stillwaiting

@SteelyDass @WORDChCh @el_stepho @magdalorenzob Great programme Kiran! I’m gutted to be missing the festival this year but to make up for it that weekend I will be staying at the beautiful Ōnuku Marae for my te reo course - despite my best efforts I have not learnt how to be in 2 places at once yet!!

Fangirl moment seeing @banquotrilogy at @TeWananga Puāwaitanga today. What an inspiration!

Loved Hello Beautiful by @napolitanoann. Listen to me rave about it on @ninetonoon this morning here: https://t.co/DEVRwbuUGj (and forgive me for saying Irish Catholic instead of Italian Catholic! It just rolled off the tongue!) Honestly, I loved this a great deal! @penguinrandom

Hanging out in the line booth @ninetonoon - coming up with this morning’s book review in a few mins 😊📚

Got myself a long black this morning and it smells like journalism school

I just rolled up to vote at the library and a lovely elderly gentleman outside had to tell me that the library wasn’t open for 10 minutes. Some kind of hilarious library karma there.

And this Monday’s book review on @ninetonoon of @valmcdermid’s latest. Love popping along to talk about books as much as I love this period of history. https://t.co/d7t5GPlRgl

Here’s a book review I did on @ninetonoon in July and forgot to share. No idea why as I bloody loved this book! https://t.co/p1zJmUBLxl

Hi Library Land! I was thrilled to be asked to write a piece for Civica's The One Thing Series recently, in which I somehow make Ted Lasso and Allen Curnow relate to each other. https://t.co/q8hkBkJTbC #librarylife #youthengagement #librarytwitter
