On Monday we discussed as #lablit
Mr Einstein's Secretary
by @Matthew_Reilly - I [dom] very much enjoyed it - a female protagonist who is a frustrated physicist & witness to major events in the first half of the 20th Century

[LabLit @lablit]

Hullo to those still here - we are mainly on Bluesky now - presently less... than this place, though who knows for how long?!

[BookTrust @Booktrust]

[Libraries Connected @libsconnected]

Children who have been read to from an early age have a significant head start on those who have not. Public #Libraries are ideally placed, through storytimes and rhymetimes, for a major role in @frankcottrell_b and @Booktrust's #ReadingRights campaign. https://t.co/XTJnKkE1pq
