I was today years old when I learnt that there is a prize for young book collectors of colour.

Why am I JUST learning about this?

Anyway, go enter here if you're a book collector of colour, under 35 years old! @rugglesprize

Don’t miss the Honey & Wax Prize! And if you’re applying for one prize, it seems the efficient thing would be to apply for others, right?

[Heather O'Donnell @honeyandwaxbks]

@MiniMuseologist It’s getting pretty hot out there anyway, probably best to just chill inside all summer
