Whether you’re a fan of Hallowe’en or not, you have to give it credit for being the last line of defence against Christmas advancing even earlier into the year, a ragtag gang of goths holding the line against a battalion of baubled barbarians

@AnnaGrantENG@EnglishScotland I did read all dissertation texts, but my classes were always big (15+ pupils) so I made it a condition that if they chose texts before the summer holidays I would read them, but if they couldn’t make a decision or changed their mind I would only be able to try to read them.

It's worth reading @_RebeccaMcCurdy's piece on this for @heraldscotland. Free school meals is an area where universalism offers enormous additional benefits and should be defended.

Yesterday, for #WorldBookDay2024, I spent an extremely enjoyable morning reading Harry Potter in Scots to a group of very engaged and enthusiastic pupils. I wish more Thursdays could start like this. #amreading#Scotslanguage
My Easter holiday reads in Istanbul and Dalyan. Didn’t get the hype of ‘Beekeeper’; same goes for ‘Tipping the Velvet’, a book I’ve wanted to read for years. Still to finish ‘Birdsong’, but really enjoying so far. A reread of ‘Catch 22’ snuck in too, but no picture. #amreading
Winding down for the Easter Holidays with a celebratory cinema trip. #LifeofPi from @NTLive is spectacular. Beautiful staging. Well worth paying the extra dosh for a personal sofa, too. 🎭
Oh, I loved this! Could not put it down and was genuinely gutted when I came to the end.

I thought this was stunning. Demolished it within an afternoon. Such brutal honesty. 🖤#readingforpleasure#amreading

A brilliant 🎄 gift, and a really interesting look at the lives of people who collected and preserved manuscripts throughout the ages. Fascinating to see how their lives interconnect across the centuries because of their shared passion. #amreading
This was a very fun way to spend a Thursday afternoon. And I was delighted to read a classic: ‘The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde’.
