I'm over on @The_CIEP blog talking about age appropriate content in books. (Spoiler alert - nothing is straightforward and all depends on context.)

This is a great piece by @LisaDavisBooks on the importance of page turns on picture books and how to use them effectively

@rednihilist74 @PoliceServiceNI Hopefully they just get someone down to do some traffic management. It’s unreal. I’ve never been stuck in a car park like this before.

@nicolabigwood Thanks so much for attending and for the live tweets! 🥰 Hope you’re enjoying the conference!

The face of someone who drowned a centipede in his water dish, and is now trying to hide from his crimes.

Also not helping is that I am literally living in a greenhouse right now thanks to the construction work on our building.

Would just like to clarify that, yes, I actually am moving to Belfast for the weather. (It’s more like 35 in Munich today. 🥵)

@TomEaston Please tell him that! He very rarely cuddles. 😩

Getting Cosmo to associate his new bag with “fun” before we traumatise him with airline travel.

#Pride Month editing wins (so far):

Changing LGBT to LGBTQ+
Changing "pregnant women" to "pregnant people"
Changing "mum and dad" to "parents"

I actually do this every month, so feel free to get in touch if you ever want some "editorial wokery". 😄

I am at the “got rid of a book because I don’t like the font” stage of my pre-move book purge. Think I’m actually leaving Germany with fewer books than I arrived with…

Good morning from Italy!

Had a rather unpleasant train journey today, the only highlight of which was that you could actually stand at the end of the train to catch some scenery.

[Lisa Davis @LisaDavisBooks]

@loveswimming Thank you! We're very much looking forward to actually settling somewhere. 😅

[Lisa Davis @LisaDavisBooks]

It’s been four years since we got married in Northern Ireland, and it’s only two months until we move there for good. ❤️

[Lisa Davis @LisaDavisBooks]

@Louiestowell We’ve been talking about this for a couple years now so can’t wait!

[Lisa Davis @LisaDavisBooks]

@TomEaston Both are great in their own ways and certainly worth a visit whenever you get the chance. Just maybe skip Munich during Oktoberfest!

[Lisa Davis @LisaDavisBooks]

What my last two months in Munich is going to look like. 😑

(Actually it’s going to get worse because they’ll hang a plastic covering around the whole building soon. 😩)
