@LauraPAuthor Should say that Bunny v Monkey and Looshkin both come from Phoenix magazine. He also enjoys that. Might be worth a free trial if they have one?

[MarikaCReads @CookeReads]

@LauraPAuthor My 8 year old v similar. Loved/loves Dogman, Catkid, Bunny V Monkey, Looshkin. Will read the Treehouse books but has to be asked and same with any football (which he loves) books and stories. He’ll read and enjoy them but he won’t pick them up himself x

Good afternoon my office gets asked hundreds of times a month to help certain causes. We cannot highlight every single one however this one caught my eye.
The Parents of Jools need your help please to gain 100,000 signatures for #JoolsLaw - a law that will help all parents protect their children. Jools (aged 14) died, the parents have NO idea why, but they fear that he viewed harmful content on social media that helped lead him down such a tragic road.
As a parent & Grandparent, we should have the right to view our children's social media. Currently we don’t. All parents should have this right, whether their children are alive or dead. The tech companies don’t seem to want to do anything to stop harmful and violent content from reaching kids. So, the government must empower parents to protect them by giving us the right to see what they see. Please sign this petition to change the law to protect all living children and in Jools families case, to help them find answers as to why their precious child is no longer alive. Thank you You can sign the petition here https://t.co/xXyhFy1OTY

I haven’t seen her for a long time but Ellen and I went to school together. Jool’s should be the same age my son is now. I can’t imagine what she’s going through. If you’re a parent please listen to her story and sign her petition.

A bereaved mother who has "absolutely no idea" why her son took his own life aged 14 is fighting social media companies to hand over his search history

Woke up yesterday to pouring rain and an awful cold so decided to stay in bed and start this (06:20). Finished it at 23:00. I cannot remember the last time I read a book in a day. Absolutely gripping. Thanks @RuthWareWriter and thanks for sending @Sabah_K

[MarikaCReads @CookeReads]

@LauraPAuthor One book. One kindle. Probs only read one book in that time. But what if there were delays? A new sudden pandemic?You need the back up of a kindle. And you need the one book in case kindle stops working. My biggest fear is not having a book to read at all times. Can you tell? 🤣

[MarikaCReads @CookeReads]

@KinsellaSophie Wishing you all the best in your treatment and recovery. Your books have brought me a lot of joy over the years x

[MarikaCReads @CookeReads]

@philbry2 @POferriesupdate Yes. They said the same to us. At least we made it after the accident I guess!

[MarikaCReads @CookeReads]

@philbry2 @POferriesupdate We were also stuck there. Made it to the port just before 6 for the 7pm and there is a big issue going on and we have been transferred to a DFDS at 19.35. Not sure what the issue is but we can’t move from check in
