Dressing up can be a fun way to celebrate World Book Day.

But don't forget, dressing up is not the main purpose. Not every child enjoys it, nor do people always have the time and/or money.

Don't forget, many book characters feature children in everyday clothing!

@jabberworks It's weird isn't it! I've not even attempted it with customers lol but any time I've introduced myself to local book shops it seems to go awkward, they just seem scared and I never hear from them again 😅 whereas if they find out who I am first it usually works out great 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Burials & Beyond @BurialsBeyond]

New post is up on the blog! I visited a curious little Wiltshire church that was built from public donations in the 19th century. The churchyard was also a real treat with a familiar 'record breaker' as one of its permanent residents.

@ElisaInTime @theashrb McDonald's drinks usually always do have ice in the UK, I generally press No Ice because I don't want a watery drink and it's cold here most of the time anyway 😆

[Burials & Beyond @BurialsBeyond]

I'm genuinely on my hands and knees begging as an abuse survivor to stop doing the "and I could always tell because of their art" OR "you could never tell by their art" when artists are outed as abusers. It gives the impression you can deduce guilt or innocence in art and not the

I did get marginally better at not losing my dust jackets...

It was Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. I bought it in a school book fair, felt like I didn't have a clue what was going on but somehow also felt certain I'd just stumbled upon the most amazing series ever. I wrote a review of it and won a Blue Peter badge 😆

Don't think about it.

Don't try to be cool.
