Excited to get a copy of The Dention Diaries: Worse than Jail by Sam Copeland which I am helping Bloomsbury put a schools tour together for this autumn. If any schools, teachers, librarians or other educators would like an event do get in touch to find out more.

@SuzanneCollier @Dag_RedFC Congratulations, hope you had a great night celebrating.

Dropped my son for his first full day of reception and back at my desk for freelancing again after summer break. Dug out my diary and getting to grips with a new laptop too.

Have had a lovely day visiting Lake Windermere. We took a boat to Bowness and visited The World of Beatrix Potter which was a particularly nice way to spend the morning.

Fab evening seeing the new Luna Loves London exhibition at @Discover_Story

[History Rage Podcast @HistoryRage]

🚨 NEW EPISODE🚨
What happens when archaeology disagrees with the written story? 🏺📜 In this episode of History Rage, Professor Nick Higham explores how physical evidence challenges the idea of a decisive British victory at Badon. Instead of a dramatic turning point, the past looks far more gradual, complex, and unpredictable than the legends suggest.

@swampum didn't weigh the bag or books this time as I didn't think I was near the luggage allowance

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

Heading off on holiday, wondering if I can get all of these books into my luggage or a couple might have to be left behind? Also should I take a book I have already started of leave it for when I get back and take a new book? Decisions, decisions...

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

@HayleyTOfficial finished it before I left for holiday, so didn't make the bag

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

@LouiseReadsUK it's in the bag

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

@ModernCassie oh no, the same happened in my son's school this week Ofsted arrived. I felt so bad for them

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

@andrewsgeoff @YaleBooks I feel lucky to have worked with so many fab authors (yourself obviously included)

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

Final day at @yalebooks yesterday. Had a great year working here with one of the nicest teams in publishing and on so many interesting books.

70 brilliant books for the summer including the recent Stephen Sondheim biography and lots more https://t.co/otkLbETDUF

[Sally Oliphant @Sally_PR]

Catching up on press after my holiday, always nice to send authors a review like this. Stephen Sondheim by Daniel Okrent review – a superb biography of the musical master https://t.co/MiSog5Ncmz

@MattNixson I only brought two, but I do have an audiobook on the go too!
