Senior school librarian & former bookseller - with lots of books I haven't read yet. Should be kept away from the jellybeans

@anengteacher1 @NealShusterman I loved it and recommend to Year 9 up. So original and packed full of ethics

[Kate Lock @kateweasel]

Finished, and in plenty of time to welcome one of the authors to school next week. This, book number 6 in the series, starts its adventure in Stockholm - somewhere I’m now desperate to visit.. It’s clever, pacy and exciting! 🚂

Fantastic YA and strong contender for winning the Carnegie, in my opinion. Deals with consent and sexual assault in such a clever, ground hog day style that makes it a proper page turner. It’s so good!

@sarramanning 🤩🤩Also reminds me I’m due my annual Unsticky reread

[Kate Lock @kateweasel]

@thethickett Ok! I’ll keep it on the list. A Half Baked Idea by Olivia Potts is another beautiful book about food (patisserie) and the author dealing with her Mother’s death. I loved it

It can be hard knowing what to say sometimes. But quite often, it could be as simple as asking “Are you ok?”. ⁠

@PanMacNews I’d absolutely love a copy for my school library please if there are copies left?

[Kate Lock @kateweasel]

@StHildasLibrary @uksla A simple yet genius idea! My brain goes blank sometimes when asked during a busy lunchtime. I may adopt this if you don’t mind?

[Kate Lock @kateweasel]

This is excellent. Another beautiful retelling of women in Greek mythology. Ariadne is known for helping Theseus defeat the Minotaur - this tells the story of what happened next. #feministretelling #womeningreekmythology #excellentfiction #staffbookclub
