Super delighted to have subscribed to
@nuttybookswap, especially as supporting local children's book groups has always been important to me. Not local to me directly, but proud to offer my support to this @FCBGNews group going forward 🩵💙🩵

@HelenByles What were the chances?! I am planning an evening of content catching up, and although its already been a long and tiring day I am excited to get cosy and do nothing but book related things 😊

[Samantha Thomas (BookBound) @SamJDThomas]

Sitting here drinking my morning coffee, taking my medication, and trying to understand how people fail to have the same level of compassion, respect, and conversations with me that I have always shown them. I am shocked and disappointed 😞

@LawyerYouKnow Peter, please could you help those of us who truly dont get it, why would the defense lawyer be everywhere and anywhere except for infront of the microphone - especially for those who struggle to hear and are therefore going to infer the question and/or relevance of the answer.
