When people tell me that they want to get back into reading but can’t seem to find THAT BOOK, I have some go-to recs based on what made them love reading in the first place

— here are 56 of them 🧵

It may have taken 2 years, but today… I finally went into the office for work 😂

So I know I mentioned before the awesome book post I get for my job... but I got more!📖 Usborne always go above and beyond😍

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

@EmilySkailes There’s always hope! It’s an entry level role so publishing experience is certainly not required. Instead, just show you have good knowledge of children’s books and recent publishing, that would be super helpful!

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

@TedsProject Hi, I don’t remember getting an email about this one - should I have?

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

@davidfinchher well done!!💕

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

During a global pandemic with the country in lockdown was not what I expected my first day working in publishing to be, but I loved it!!

I’ve been learning welsh for about 40 days now, and OF COURSE the first animal I got taught was sheep - thanks for the stereotyping duolingo

[Becky @rebeccas_shelf]

“What are you going to study?”

“English.”

“Oh, so you’re going into teaching then?”

#NormalPeople really nailed that one.

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

It’s been a while, but I’ve got a Book Hangover - you know that feeling when you finish reading a really good book (especially one in a series) and you just sit there reeling and can’t stop thinking about it? ...Yeah, that

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

Today was supposed to be my last day working as a children’s bookseller at Waterstones.
Instead, it’s my last day as a bookseller on furlough, and I’ve already been at home for two weeks, which isn’t nearly as exciting but oh well!

[The Good Place is taking it sleazy @nbcthegoodplace]

When Michael tells you to stay inside, you stay inside!

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

(And I would tag the store but I’m in charge of the store account (until I leave!!) so I would be just tagging myself lol)

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

With all Waterstones stores closing at the end of today, this will be my last day working as a bookseller (but with two more jobs working to sort out the store to close)! I was meant to be leaving just before Easter, but obviously that’s not happening anymore...😣

[Beth Summerfield @Beth_Sfield]

I’ve loved my time with the team at Hitchin, and it’s bittersweet for it all to be ending like this. Especially not knowing anything about whether my new job (in London) will actually start in April... but here’s hoping!!🤞🏻
